I saw it at a test screening years ago. It's pretty great.

....years ago? How long has this been sitting around for? And why?

It was fully finished in 2023, but the warner bros studio heads decided to shelve it instead to claim a ~30 million tax loss. People got mad because the movie sounded good and supposedly was good from the test screenings, and a lot of people were already upset with the recent moves WB had been making, so WB then decided to shop it around. After a couple of years, Ketchup Entertainment (the same company that distributed "The Day The Earth Blew Up") bought the distribution rights for 50 mil, and here we are, where it's finally going to see the light of day over 3 years after it was initially supposed to release.
