There's been so much of her being shared and it's clear it was all from promo but none of it ever showed the full title so I've just been like "ecclec... sta..wtf the is it???"
If you’re familiar with the source material, it looks embarrassingly bad. The book is dystopian cosmic horror that delves into very uncomfortable truths about human nature. The movie is marketed as a coming-of-age adventure story. I’m not even going to try and square that circle.
It’s insane. Nothing in the book is about robots. All the battle hardware was drones. Even Skip was a drone. But they’ve made this movie about robots. I even read that one of the heavies is a civil rights lawyer representing the robots. What? In the book, a guy gets his head blown off, another guy gets crushed, there’s a lesbian love story, men lactate from using the casters, the stepmom is found at the bottom of a pool, kept alive by her caster, and a hive mind controlled drone that’s fifty feet tall fucks a woman in a van. Coming of age adventure my ass.
It's Netflix - she's their darling, a bust doesn't matter, it'll get masses of views thanks to the stranger things crowd and she will have got huge paycheck up front and then she'll do another one! That's how it goes.
Oh my god I just looked up the budget - $320 million. Christ!
