I think, based on an interview I saw with Jessica Chastain a while ago about this movie, she was the one who put the project together and asked Kinberg to join. Kinberg seems to be a nice person (Jennifer Lawrence would only sign on to return for Dark Phoenix if he directed it, in order to encourage him to start directing), and he must have been a competent director on the ground, delivering things on budget and on time, and also working well in colaboration with the cast. That is an important component of getting more work opportunities that we don't often take into consideration.

Maybe, but he won't be given any more chances unless he comes up with a hit real soon.

They should've put this on streaming and called it a day, this was supposed to have come out early 2021 because the first trailer for this released way back in October of 2020.

 

This had a good amount of star power and kinda had it's heart in the right place but just putting a bunch of women together and having them kick ass isn't enough anymore, especially when it apparently still relies on some old cliches/tropes and isn't striving to do anything particularly new or creative with the premise.

[Cruel Summer]

none of the actresses attached to it has any pull in the box office, it'd have bombed either way

Can't argue with this

Another case where they thought to everything except a good script.....

Finally out of its misery. Universal have plonked this film online where it should’ve been in the first place. RIP.
