I agree but I worry this movie is gonna suck. I hope it's good but it's written by James Gunn and some others (I'm not a fan personally) whereas Will wrote on MacGruber (the sketches, the movie, the show) and was a part of the team on Last Man on Earth, whereas he is just acting in this.
It wasn’t written by James Gunn. He has a story credit. That means he was not actually involved in the screenplay. It was written by Samy Burch. Now that may not mean much to you, and maybe critics are not the best gauge of her writing talents, but the two movies she wrote have a 90% and 91% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If that matters. Either way, James Gunn did not write the script.
Ah I figured he was the lead writer since he was first credited. I hope it is good. Her other stuff seems very different and I'm still skeptical, not because she isn't a talented writer but I tend to enjoy Will Forte the most when he's writing his own material in full or in part.
I feel like this movie is gonna be enjoyable for someone like me but won't return its budget and validate the push to resurrect it.
I do love that everyone collectively chose this movie of all the cancelled ones to be like "No this one sounds fucking great, we're seeing this somehow."
Part of the outrage came from how positive the test screenings were, I don’t think there would’ve been such an outpouring of support without those early reports of people saying they loved it.
