It's bizarre how under the radar this film has been... would like to see FF given back to Marvel, but we'll see.
I have some friends close to this project in the industry who assert that the hiring of a very young and inexperienced director has ultimately been a decision most of the keys involved have come to regret sorely. Sometimes these gambles work, sometimes they don't. We'll see how the end product is shaped as a result, but I'd be surprised if the radio silence didn't have *something* to do with this.
