Cowboys and aliens.
Man pitched this fever dream of an idea in 97, was laughed out of the room.
Folks only agreed with the same guy to make it in 2006 after seeing it was based on a best selling comic book.
That comic book was written by the person who initially pitched the idea in 97. He practically paid comic book stores to carry and give away the comic book so it'd be a "best seller".
Movie execs got hoodwinked lol
Cats (2019)
Directed by Tom Hooper, a guy who doesn't know shit about cinematography but somehow had two previous films gain critical ablation despite this.
Released years, even decades after the West End and Broadway shows had been discontinued.
Relied heavily on a star-studded cast featuring Ian McKellen, Rebel Wilson, James Corden, Idris Elba, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo and Taylor Swift.
Horrifically bad CGI which costed an absolute tonne to produce because Hooper was an arrogant arsehole and didn't listen to the people on his crew who actually handled special effects for a living.
Most of the songs are significant downgrades compared to the original stage show, i.e. musical vs film version of Magical Mr Mistoffelees.
