Hollywood execs are pointing to such star-driven projects as “Land of the Lost” and the Washington-Scott actioner “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” which have faltered at the boxoffice, while concept-driven pics including “Up,” “Star Trek” and “The Hangover” have flourished. (Ironically, “Trek” star Pine was one of the actors who broke out in a concept movie; “Unstoppable” was to be a coming-out party of sorts.)Known for their high production values, Scott’s movies tend to travel in a higher-budget range. But Fox is known for managing costs by examining budgets critically.
Neither the studio nor producers would comment for this report.
BOOOO. I wanted to go see this. :(
