When it comes to shoddy maneuvers, no Hollywood company is lacking, but after 2010, Warner Bros. definitely had the most.
As unavoidable as it is for people to only consider outcomes, some of Warner's later exposed operations shocked everyone to the core. How could so many industry elites conjure up such idiotic decisions?
The failure of "Gods of Egypt" had put enormous pressure on Jon Berg, and the fiasco that led to his predecessor Ellen Horn's departure was botching "Terminator 2018".
Daniel wasn't doing much better either. No matter how he tried to pass the buck, "Gods of Egypt" was a project he had pilfered from Martin and forcefully recommended to the company.
As Jon's mind slightly steadied, he thought of another film project that had already started production, the one he saw in Martin Davis's office — Jack the Giant Slayer!
This magical epic, adapted from a classic fairy tale, had a massive production budget of 200 million US dollars, and failure was not an option.
