Very disappointed that this was not based on the J.L. Bourne book.

This sounds good and I could honestly could see Pratt playing a high school teacher recruited to be in a military conflict.

Although they should have a grizzled Tom Berenger as a shop teacher who goes and wins the whole thing lol.

They should have Michael Ironside as the history teacher that keeps asking if you want to live forever.

The hook is that by bringing people forward in time, they prevent the birth of the hero that would have won the war.

Spoiler Alert - This time Sarah Conner goes forward in time to save John Conner.

That sounds interesting.

But I'm curious how Amazon can recoup its investment? Did C2A2 require an additional fee to watch via Amazon Prime?

There is no finer moment in TV history than in V: The Final battle when Ham Tyler chokes Stephen the Visitor to death by stuffing giant handfuls of red toxin dust into his mouth.

When I win the power ball, I will make a movie using de-aging technology starring Ash, Ham Tyler, and Jack Burton.

Becuase you can only travel back to the future, not forward to the future.

Real answer, I'm guessing humanity was wiped out, so no future to travel to.

They will just offer an additional 75000 shares for the world to buy.

Maybe this time travel series does it correctly. they only recruit specific people from the past. Ones that died in the 30 years that didn't have an outcome in the war in the future and ones that if they die don't prevent someone from being born that is influential. I would guess the 7 year old daughter of Pratt's they mention is important in the future but he died in the 30 years before the war

Honest question, but what would be the budget on a movie they were willing to sell off for 200 million?
It's a completely different paradigm, you don't have to worry about marketing, or what percentage of the box office you get in various countries etc. And in the current world maybe they take a discounted amount to just be happy to break even? I was thinking maybe 125 million, 150 on the outside?
I legit don't know.

Those two numbers would have been my exact guess range as well. Maybe slightly lower since this isn't proven IP, but I can't see something like this costing less than $115M. Unless, of course, it happens to look particularly cheap when we see the trailer, but I seriously doubt that's the case, given the plot description.

so this is a feel good 12 monkeys meets starship troopers?

What's interesting is if this model sticks. you could eventually get to the point where you commission a film, set a budget, set a price and sell it before you green fully light it, and you have cost and profit certainty. The risk is transferred to the buyers. It's almost like moving toward the TV model. Without the pilot concept.
