I wasn’t planning to see this movie anyway because the trailer looked skeevy, but now that I know the whole plot I just want to kill it with fire oh my god
Holy shit that is SUPER-GROSS AND VIOLATING and every single woman should read this article, and then vehemently refuse to see this movie with anyone for any reason. In fact, this would be the first time in my life that I feel like I want to walk past lines of people getting ready to buy tickets and scream the plot of the movie at the top of my lungs. I want to spoil random strangers on the street. I want every woman who has a boyfriend or husband who wants to see this movie to explain, in detail, why she not only won’t see it, but if the guy goes to see it without her anyway, she will be GONE OUT OF HIS LIFE when he gets back. with the kids, if they have any.
(That may be a slight exaggeration. But only slight.)
That was actually worse than I expected. What the FUCK.
I saw this and was suuuuuper disappointed. I was gonna maybe see this. 😦
ew
This script has been on the black list since 2012, and has lost actors and distributors a couple of times. It originally had Keanu Reeves cast in the lead, with Rachel McAdams as his co-star. She dropped out of the project (perhaps this is why?). The film was also originally going to get distribution through the Weinstein Company who also dropped it. Again, not sure if it was because of content, but if Weinstein’s dropping you for content of this nature you know you must be doing pretty something pretty horrific.
Anyway the film had a long and checkered past getting to the big screen, and it seems like this is probably why.
Yikes.
