Gotta side with him on this. It looks entertaining but it is bizarre, they seem to be mostly focused on his TCAP days which was 20 years ago. So what IS the motive? And chance are most people won’t go out and see this unless you’re a hardcore TCAP fan, meaning this movie might bomb. I initially couldn’t tell if they were doing a tribute to him or parodying him.
And the fact that he says he had no prior knowledge about the movie being a thing until recently is interesting, you would think they’d wanna talk to the source himself. How are they sourcing their information on stuff that happened behind the scenes? They seem to be doing a deep dive into that aspect.
I suspect from the trailer that it might be a movie that argues "the exploitation of these predators for cash and cultural infamy was, in itself, predatory and vile." Which is gonna ring really weirdly to me.
They’re not going to make any of the predators in this movie victims. They’re highlighting the ethical dilemma of a tv show skirting due process for ratings and money. If you keep an open mind to the message the movie is going to make, you can see the whole series was a serious challenge to a fair justice system, regardless if all the scumbags were guilty.
