Here is my problem with this (and I will admit to being a creative type).
At least this guy has the ability to raise some big money to try something different and fall on his face. At this point that is pretty rare.
He's trying at least? The easiest thing in the world is to pander and do some bullshit, takes some balls to not do that.
I'd rather see someone take a chance and fail miserably than any remake or cookie cutter superhero movie or fast and furious 52 or whatever.
Since allot of us are the same age I would look at it like BMX or skateboard tricks.
In the olden days when your friend tried some stupid trick and wiped out and knocked half their teeth out you wouldn't say they sucked. You would say holy shit that was awesome that you even tried that and jacked yourself up.
I don't care if this dude makes the shittiest movie I've seen all year I will go see it because at least he is trying. I'll see it twice before I give a dime to Tom Cruise for rehashing 30 + years ago.
You can shit on him all you want, end result is you get another year of garbage recycled cash grabs and nothing new.
