Too soon
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoIndeed. It seems like we're waiting less and less time between a news story and a movie about it. I suspect if we waited longer, the tone of the movies would be different, with the additional perspective of anything that has yet to be announced or go public.
- ethbro 10y agoI thought this was what The Daily Show pioneered. When reality and current news is a farce, why let it age?
- ci5er 10y agoAgreed. This play has not been played out yet...
- torgoguys 10y agoWhy do you say that? While we may not know the ultimate fate of the Edison machines or the company, there is already a compelling story that can be told, one that most are unaware of the details. Doing it soon when the company is still in natural news cycles helps build interest for the movie. My only worry with something so soon is real world repercussions if Hollywood decides to play too fast and loose with the facts.
- baking 10y agoIt has been a well established medical fact that the blood from a pinpick does not provide a representative blood sample for most medical tests, yet you are worried about Hollywood playing too fast and loose with the facts? Maybe you should be more worried about Silicon Valley selling the hype and ripping off investors. People who believe in science fiction should be working in Hollywood, not Silicon Valley. The problem is they make more money in SV.
