I mean, it's campy female detectives...with the right cast I think that can work anytime, regardless of if people even know what the tv series is. Had this starred Zendaya, Lili Reinhardt, Lupita, Emma Stone, JLaw, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Awkafina, it'd probably have been fine. You could even keep KStew and just go bigger with the other two. But this was never going to sell with just KStew and two nobodies. And I do think Naomi Scott WILL be big eventually, but this was too soon to expect her to have any audience draw.

Emilia was fine in S8, but there was nothing extraordinary. She had some great facial expressions during Dany's downfall, but the actual talking scenes were as stilted as ever. Take away her wig and costumes and you basically have the same meh performances she's given in every film role she's taken on. I do think she has a likeable presence and I enjoy her interviews as herself, so I'm fine if she makes a post-GoT career for herself, but based on her output, it's just hard for me to imagine. The comparison to Emma Watson is pretty spot-on, tbh. They played iconic female roles that played to their strengths, but there's a certain stiff, forced quality to their acting when they try to expand their range.

I think most of the younger GoT cast are pretty bad actors, tbh. The writers learned to write for Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, but neither has much range. Harington and guy who played Bran were both so bad that I think it affected Jon Snow and Bran's arcs, because both characters are way more complex in the books. Emilia's performance was like 50% wig/aesthetics/cgi dragons. Madden was the only one who lived up to/surpassed what was in the books. I'm pretty sure they'll all disappear in the next 5 years.

Well. This is some creative spinning. -
Hyping bad projects is why actors get the big bucks. I think most would agree that part of the job is usually harder than the actual filming. I don't begrudge them doing whatever they have to to sell, sell, sell. That said, the Time thing really was ridiculous. That's not an EW cover. It's assuming a level of cultural relevance that wasn't earned. Black Panther earned its cover.

Nah, there was no way to make this franchise good. The first one gets a pass from people for the novelty of the lifestyle and literal porn, but after that there was just nothing left. The acting and storyline were just as banal there, but it was new and not exhausted yet. I see the studios underselling this BIG TIME so they can pretend that a $40 million OW will be a huge number.

Fifty Shades Darker | February 10th, 2017 | First Trailer on Page 13

Credit to Universal for staying strong when all those reports about salary demands were coming out, saying Dornan and Johnson wanted Twilight-esque raises. They probably looked at the legs and knew the second was likely to go down.
