Love a back to basics and this cast are great, but so baffled they’re dropping the whole “dinosaurs in the wild” thing…

Reminder that The Faculty had the most stacked cast of the late 90s genre scene (Josh Hartnett, Clea DuVall, Jordana Brewster, Salma Hayek, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Elijah Wood, Robert Patrick, Jon Stewart and friggin’ USHER).

Will only accept a remake that reunites them ALL. Thank you.

She does. But those views are harming trans people, and JK Rowling should face consequences for that.

“Lynn, film idea. Man travels back in time and makes a film so it’s existing IP that he can then remake in 2024. Maybe starring Glen Powell.”
