Croque Croisette: Big Budget Failures in the Making

Date:

This year, the further out east you go, the more eye pollution there seems to be. We’ve got some horror items that are fighting the hard fight to gain traction — you got a pic I took of a collage of items from one sales company trying to unload Marcos Efron’s horror thriller with Amber Heard in the lead. In front of the Palais Stephanie where all the action takes place for the Director’s Fortnight, we have Eli Roth wearing his producer’s cap for the helming duo Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland’s The Other Woman.

Amber Heard

The Other Woman

Then you have the usual crap that junks up the front of the Carlton hotel and this year’s batch seem to be destined to flop. This year The A-Team takes up a lot of room on the green grass, so does Robin Hood and I’m betting that Rob Letterman Gulliver’s Travels featuring Jack White is dead in the water come release time.
