No. This will not end well. Although, to be fair, Insomnia was not bad. It's just that the Norwegian original was much, much better. The remake was not necessary. We can only pray that these jokers choose a decent writer and director for like the first time in their lives. This should have been tagged with "whatcouldpossiblygowrong".
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
Just an FYI, if you go in to the Adjustment Bureau expecting Adjustment Team you'll be quite disappointed. It's meant to be its own story but uses a similar entity to the adjustment team for controlling events. That's not to say it'll be either good or bad, just that it's really not intended to be a telling of a Dickian story.
Are Hollywood writers so creatively bankrupt
Hollywood thinks so little of writers that they don't even credit them. They'll credit the Key Grip, for xchrist sakes. And the caterer. But not the writers. The story is a ancillary concern to the 'splosions. And here we are.
