    so what? It will either be terrible or interesting. Either way, we, personally, have nothing to lose from this being made and a lot to win if it’s not terrible.

      We have a lot to lose because it’s taking money away from other projects that aren’t likely to suck.

        There isn’t a fixed budget somewhere that all these projects are competing for. Whomever is financing this movie is not going to finance whatever projects you’re talking about. However, it might just be that if this is a success and brings a profit and visibility, those other smaller projects will get more funds thrown their way.
