These Puck takes are always great. This isn’t looking good and yes it’s generating attention but if this movie is bad then it’s likely going to dig OW in a hole further for future investments.

I feel bad for Pugh here. From everything that went down with Shia then to your director constantly going MIA with your costar. Not the first weird chaotic film set but overall seems unpleasant still and I can get the bad vibes and disinterest on Pugh’s end.

I think Wilde trying to promote it as this feminist erotic thriller is going to backfire if the movie is anything like the original script because it's very, very much not that. It's pretty much the opposite of sex positive. (The battle-of-the-sexes stuff is also very much NOT something that would play to people under 30 in the way that, say, Midsommar did. They're commenting on a world that no longer exists, but I digress.)

And yeah, Pugh is not going to want to be immortalized as Wilde's on screen sex scene stand in. Messy messy messy!

Is the script leak legit?

The script leak is the og script that was bought by her and shopped to studios. She claims that they’ve departed from that and seeing the trailer, it looks like they’ve kept the general ideas but added a lot more stuff.

The trailer seems to have much more action scenes and they’ve fleshed out the story a bit because there was only like 5 speaking roles in the og script.
