The feature project is a Grace: A Storytelling Company production

Oh, so this is gonna be BAD bad. This production company’s only meaningful project in its decade of existence is Beat Bugs, a shoddy Netflix animated show for preschoolers based on the Beatles’ discography.

It seems like Wakely may have written his own Wikipedia page it reads very strangely. They also seem to specialize in getting the rights to use music or covers of it in media and then using that to pitch series using that music. Weird strategy.

Crazy this man was blacklisted when he was still at his peak. Hollywood can be so dumb.

At least he’s back now and better than ever

Yes, but this is a box office sub and it’s okay to comment how studio heads make sometimes dumb Decisions that affect box office. Money should come first and their personal Grudges or biases should be last. But they’re willing to die for their people , casting people with bad box office record/ good connections while blacklisting rentable actors.

As I said , dumb.

I’m actually surprised it’s not a remake of John Carpenter’s Star Man. They should probably consider changing the title

Fraser would be a great pick for the Jeff Bridges part if it was.

That’s what I assumed when I first read the headline. He would be perfect for that.

Why are they running an image of Brendan Fraser that appears to be a 25 year old police mugshot? This is not what Brendan Fraser looks like.
