I made a prediction about OFAK, and I was right about that; did one also for BOTB, and I was right about that, too. Both were based on the trailers. That's why I'm so anxious to see the trailer for Out of Reach. I'll have a better sense of where it is on the spectrum from Truly Awful to Mediocre (which, unfortunately, is as high as any of Steven's recent efforts have gone) once I see it.
I'm a realist. You want to call that negativity, you go right ahead. I'm just saying I'm not encouraged by the details, sketchy as they are, I've seen so far.
Come on - Pornstar Pets? That's supposed to instill confidence in me that the guy knows how to write? Oh, please. I did a search on the internet for this Trevor Miller to see if he actually had any other writing credits that aren't movie related. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I even did a search on the other guy supposedly co-writing the film (Alan Levin, according to the actionkings.com site). Nothing on him, either.
I've read "first efforts" of writers who have since become successful. Believe me, it's a very rare bird that flys well the first time out. I know writers who would give anything to get their earliest efforts eradicated from existence, because of their sheer awfulness.
However, I get the sense here that it doesn't matter how awful, how badly written the movie is, it's okay, because as long as it's got Steven Seagal in it, it's the best movie in the world.
I hold him to a higher standard than most people here, so I guess if that makes me negative in those people's eyes, so be it.
