>>925 I'd always suspected this given your posts. Good to have it confirmed.

I can't tell a tent-pole from an indie sleeper so I won't even guess. He himself said pre-Tayto that he was the bridesmaid more than the bride. OLLA was Fassbender's before TH's. CP also belonged to someone before it fell to him, as noted here. The Sony leaks showed us that it wasn't false modesty on his part. He was never top of the list, even for a stinker comedy like Grimsby, and was considered B list by studios.

>>932 I think you're right. He and his people were betting on this. ISTL, TNM and Tayto were all meant to catapult him into the big-time. TNM worked in the UK, less so in the US. To paraphrase the song, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but .75/3 is.

I'm sure he'll get another job but maybe not what he was wanting or expecting last year in March, April.
