A-TEAM nightmare - the guild does what it does best

[Jet Beetle]

Not that this is news to anyone who works in Hollywood - but it does amaze me every time. The guild sucks - plain and simple. I can't tell you how many times they've tossed dirt on my casket. But Young and his dealings are becoming legendary.

can rampage jackson use this as an excuse for his recent loss, also??

so that's 11 writers on a single script, not re-writes or total scrapping of previous scripts? that's got to be a bad omen for the movie.

Actually, Rampage DID make some comments about the film interfering with his training schedule. He didn't come right out and use that as an excuse for his loss, but it sounded like..."a factor". :lol

Hollywood is rotten and dysfunctional down to it's core.

But on a side note....10 years in development? 11 writers to produce a piece of crap?

I love this from the article:

The pic comes out Friday following almost 10 years in development, millions of dollars in script costs, all for a movie version of a forgotten TV show that 20th Century Fox already is predicting to reporters may not gross more in its opening weekend than the recent 4th installment of the Die Hard franchise. Not since examples like Sister Act and Armageddon and G.I. Joe have so many screenwriters labored so much to produce so little. (This is not about whether the movie's any good. It's about yet another unoriginal movie idea emanating from Hollywood and how it was developed.)

This is Hollywood we're talking about, backstabbing, lies, taking credit where none is due...is this really a surprise?
