i think it's obvious that we're all jealous haters who will accomplish nothing with our lives
Speak for yourself, I'm writing Candy Land: The Motion Picture (soundtrack by Nickelback!).
In all honesty, good for Whitta. He sold a spec script, got some big names attached - and from all accounts - enjoyed the experience. He's an established writer now, and that's an admirable feat.
That said, I have absolutely no interest in seeing the film and it looks like a pretty forgettable action flick. If it was really as great as every Internet groupie would suggest, it would not have been dumped in January. But 'dems the breaks!
