Idk if it was ai but i saw an image of him wearing a maga style hat that said "Make the world less orwell again" or something along those lines.

he has won me over with his recent commentary, and defense of the way they did the movie.

In addition to the ridiculous casting, I really wish that Hollywood could find some original material.

Anything getting “tentpole release” money behind it ends up being a licensed property or remake because of the higher likely built in audience.


A film getting a release that slowly goes wider based on word of mouth doesn’t really happen anymore, at least partially because the contract between distributors and theaters drop the amount made by the distributor for each week after release, meaning that their best chance is to heavily front load a release.

Well you would think the director of the block buster Animal Farm would be all for some DEI. I guess box office failure will change your outlook when you can't afford to have it happen again.

And yet, he didn't mind making that Animal Farm movie that looked like it was remade by the exact people the book satirized.
