>When a successful New York advertising executive suffers from a great tragedy, he retreats from life. While his concerned friends try desperately to reconnect with him, he seeks answers from the universe by writing letters to Love, Time and Death.
Is this literally a movie about a guy writing letters to non tangible concepts for two hours?
wasnt tom cruise a hitman in this movie?
That isn't even the best part.
>With the company in dire financial straits, Howard's minority partners Whit (Edward Norton), Claire (Kate Winslet), and Simon (Michael Pena) conspire to wrest control by hiring three struggling actors (Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley, and Jacob Latimore) to randomly sneak up on him on the subway or while he's eating and pretend to be personifications of death, love, and time while an unscrupulous private eye secretly records their interactions and doctors the footage so that it looks like Howard is talking to himself.
and then of course
the twist is that the actors they hire ARE ACTUALLY Death, Time and Love.
How the fuck did this get greenlit?

I'm glad you got away from scientology Will but we need to talk about your project selection
The whole concept is pants-on-head retarded.

Is Will the new Leo when it comes to Oscars?
Will Smith does one of these every year, but how do they get people like Norton and Winslet to sign on for this schlock?

Sounds like reverse A Christmas Carol
Nah. Leo actually has a little bit of talent and subtlety when he's not just shouting his lines.
Now you'll have to excuse my pleb source of speculation Sup Forums but while this sort of personification thing isn't new, going back all the way to and past Greek epics, I get the strong impression with the focus on Love and Death specifically that someone read Sandman and Thanos Quest, which are concepts soon to have some form of movie by WB and Disney so rough scripts are likely floating around, and said
>That's interesting. What if I did that, except take out the comic stuff so mainstream audiences aren't turned away?
Death is even being played by an actresses instead of the conventionally male or ambiguous skeletal figure. An elderly woman instead of a 20-something, but when she starts being kind and caring you don't have to like that I'm right, but you'll know.
>the twist
im in
God the reviews for this are so brutal. I might have to see it.
Has Armond White weighed in yet? You know he loved this shit.
>the twist
But they tell you that in the trailer?????
Sort of? The trailer is clearly trying to misrepresent the actual plot of the movie, and make it seem less like his partners are trying to fuck him over.
has anyone with less talent ever worked this hard to bait their way into an oscar?
Wait Ed Norton is in this? I thought he only chose good movies to be in.
savage roeper
Roeper's pretty cool. He was one of the only critics to know how to enjoy BvS and who had the balls to say Ghostbusters (2016) sucked. And he's a much more relatable guy than Armond White.
Why does Will Smith always make these Oscar bait movies every year? His closest chance to getting one was with Ali, but now his chance is all but gone. I miss when he was just an enjoyable action star.
Remember how liberals chided Based Clint Eastwood for talking to a chair?
At least he didn't write fucking letters to it.
>Wait Ed Norton is in this? I thought he only chose good movies to be in.
Yeah he can choose, that doesn't mean anyone wants him to be there
Yo homie
Legitimately the worst movie I've seen all year. It's like if Scrooged was written by a committee of the most boring and mean spirited people in the world. Not a single person is likeable at any point in the film. I have no fucking idea why they let this movie release instead of canning it after screening. If I was a part of the production I would hang myself out of shame.
...
That sounds amazing.

> nig nog
> writing
It's going to be garbage.
Shouldn't Love, Time and Death have better things to do?
Jacob Latimore's qt though.
dear Time, i wrote you but you still ain callin
This film would be better if it was will smith writing to the actual actors about how to cope with not having an Oscar
What the fuck are you doing still posting on Sup Forums?
LITERALLY BRIAN GRIFFIN TIER
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
Quality shit user
Will Smith is a nice guy, but his project selection is kinda' whack. Look up "The City That Sailed".
>In London, a girl's wish to be reunited with her father causes Manhattan -- where her dad lives -- to break away from the U.S. and head toward England.
