Yep, though great acting with the wrong look would always be my preference than the other way round. Surely both are possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, watched in in the summer over here in Sweden, and I recall reviewing it in a past iteration of the Watched/Watching thread. Surprised that it didn't come out in the US at the same time, and indeed was held back for so many months. Wonder what the story is behind that.

SpaceChampion Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I can't imagine what's appealing for Glover an ongoing series about this story. But I never saw that movie anyway.
