Francis Ford Coppola Megalopolis was an absolute disaster at the box office, but the failure of Kevin Costner’s film Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 proves that it could have been much worse. Megalopolis and Horizon: an American saga both followed an eerily similar path to the big screen.

None Horizon…

Whenever a Bond actor retires from the role, producers don’t just have to find a new actor to don the tuxedo; they need to find a way to reinvent the franchise. They ended up following the silly, tongue-in-cheek humor of Moore’s tenure with the darker, grittier, more faithful Timothy Dalton Bond films – but that wasn’t their first thought. When Moore left the role of 007 after A vision for a deathhe was widely criticized for…
