RELEASE
This movie looks fantastic! Warner Bros. might have a surprise hit on their hands, and M. Night Shyamalan almost always makes great movies. So, we might have an absolute gem of a film on our hands this summer! Last year, Josh Hartnett made a sensational return to our screens in the Oscar-winning film OPPENHEIMER. It is wonderful to see him take on this material with such enthusiasm. He seems perfectly at home in this role, and I eagerly look forward to seeing how he brings it to life.
