And one of the most vehement critics of that was a nony on the rant meme, who could just be using the veil of anonymity to overstate his/her position. But on the other hand, business is not my division and people who are all about money are really all about money. Big, big money. So I can believe they had huge plans for these films and if they weren't realized then it's a failure.
It's funny how the choice of these words really colors interpretation of things whether they are true or not. If people think this is true, that a move bombed or failed to win big, then that becomes the repeated concept. I just don't like seeing these headlines WITH Benedict's name in it. And I'm adding to all the clutter by posting this as well so I'm almost as bad.
I think there was a lot down wrong with how this film was promoted and released and Assanges rants may have actually served to help promote it on some level, so Dreamworks could have done even worse without that free publicity. It's hard for me to gauge how it's been promoted on the ground because there hasn't been a lick about it here. Then again, Sweden is not a media focal point, which is one of the reasons smaller films like this don't hit theatres until 2-3 months later.
I am still invested in seeing Benedict lead films, even if he isn't considered a leading man. There are tropes and categories for actors that I don't quite understand, but I'd love to see him with substantial parts in interesting films about complex people doing interesting things. I'd also like to see him having fun with his roles and I know variety challenges him, so I hope that this doesn't end up shutting the door on a huge corner of things. But I guess it will.
