    I thought that was the way for them to say it was more of a passion project than a full AAA film. Like, when directors know the material and do a trial run of what their view is to test the waters for a massive sequel.

    Also probably cheaper.

        I mean, it probably will be cheaper while also being a logical move for what could be a dope passion project.

        Good movies don’t need big name actors to be good, they need a good story, good world, and a cast that can pull off the immersion with a director that knows how to harness it all together. Big name actors are just a draw and I would argue a lot of the time they don’t help so much as ruin immersion a bit.

        Like in nineteen ninety-eight when the undertaker threw mankind off the top of hell in a cell.

                Yeah but you could say the same about a lot of people. Doesn’t mean it’s a “good movie” so much as a lot of people want to see that person in a thing and would pay regardless of what the thing is.

                That’s the attitude that gives us the race to the bottom in creative work
