They seemed to have the right talent lined up:<br /><br />- Popular, interesting, money-making property. Check.<br /><br />- Retain Key Actor, Peter Weller. Check.<br /><br />- Get solid director, Irvin Kirshner (Empire Strikes Back, Never Say Never Again). Also check.<br /><br />- Get bad ass story writer, Frank Miller (Sin City, 300, Dark Knight Returns). Check again.<br /><br />I guess any studio can squander even the best assets and talent.Todd Uncommonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437373592094383737noreply@blogger.com
