So that is that…for now.
Keep in mind that both studios, actors, etc. tell “white lies” all the time when it comes to films (“I’d be an ape on the fucking ground for Matt Reeves” – Ben Affleck) for “business reasons.” I’m not saying that’s the case here at all, I’m just reminding you all that it happens a lot (“I am going to direct Batman!” – Ben Affleck).
Stay tuned because I’m thinking this is going to get very interesting very shortly. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
