The important response was savage, although the film itself ended up making some cash on worldwide field workplace and DVD.

Since that point, Fox and others have tried new takes, sensing that it might nonetheless work with the appropriate artistic group, however nothing has made it to screens. Now Purple Sparrow and The Lone Ranger‘s Justin Haythe is tasked with writing a brand new script for the recent take, whereas producer Don Murphy is as soon as extra shepherding this one.

The plan is for the film to debut on streaming service Hulu, which signifies that if it comes collectively, it’s going to hit Disney+ within the UK.
