Zero faith in anything Simon Kinberg touches.

David Leitch hasn't made a boring movie yet, so I'll happily give Kinberg a shot at making one of his rare good movies.

He was a writer on Mr and Mrs Smith, Sherlock Holmes (the RDJ one) and Days of Future past so that's like a 1 in 3 chance of making a good movie.

His last movie was The 355 and he managed to make a total snooze fest with a stellar cast.

Love both Leitch and Tatum but Simon Kinberg being involved with anything is a bad sign by this point.

Didn’t he last do that 355 movie with Jessica Chastain? That was completely awful and generic. Seriously I’ve seen better DTV action movies.

I mean "X Men: First Class", "X-Men: DoFP", and the first Kingsmen were still alright. Should be fine as long as he's not directing.

> Red Shirt starring Channing Tatum. Based on an original pitch by Simon Kinberg, David Leitch is aboard to direct the pic. Kelly McCormick and David Leitch are producing under their 87 North production banner; Tatum is producing through his company, Free Association; Kinberg is producing through his Genre Films.

Story > Plot details are under wraps other than it being described as an international spy thriller.

I had hoped someone finally said let's adapt Red Shirts from John Scalzi

FlashbackUniverse t1_iy5tu3m wrote

Yeah, same here.

I wonder if things like The Orville or Lower Decks caused it to lose some of its luster as a media project.

Maybe. Orville has really become really solid on it's own and Lower Decks has me getting back into Star Trek again

Oh, I thought for sure this was going to be from Scalzi's book. Ok then, I'm out.

That's exactly what I thought this was. Now I'm disappointed!

Aw, I was hoping for a Star Trek spoof from the point of view of a disposable throw away side character.

Yikes 😬. Being sent to a streaming service is the new straight to DVD and with Simon kinberg involved you know it’s utter shit. This man keeps failing upward.

Eh i kind of disagree. Some great movies are going straight to streaming.

You have to take into consideration the director and people involved tho. This director did Hobbs and Shaw, Channing Tatum is the lead and Simon kinberg is involved, that’s straight to DVD material.

What happened to Channing Tatum? It seemed he was a top biller one day, and just gone the next.

Amazon aren't the only ones trying to land Channing Tatum's hot package.

Is this the famous script about a 'Red Shirt' member on the Star Trek ship that survives?

I have heard about it since the 90s but it never gets made.

I loved him with Sandra bullock in The Lost City. I think he’s charming and fun and just really needs the right material. That said, international spy thriller seems like it might not be it, but I guess we’ll see.
