Anyone else get the slightest of Dresden Files vibes from this?
I kinda did. Just a little. I'm really interested in this.

Max Landis helmed the recent Dirk Gently series and that was phenomenal.
Pretty sure this was pretty heavily rewritten by Ayer. Landis was all about this movie right up until the first week of shooting and then he has never talked about it again. Premise is still very recognizably Landis's pitch though.
Robert C Cooper is the showrunner, but it is technically "created by" Landis in that he had a take (and a good take TBH) on how to approach Adams' material that he and Cooper likely collaborated on as a series.
That's a good partnership, actually, because I feel a long-standing showrunner like Cooper, who built the entire Stargate franchise from one high-concept movie, can wrangle in a Landis high-concept idea and script because he's done it before.
I don't know if Ayer is at the level of knowing when to show restraint.

Wow all this time I thought Bobby Roberts was Max Landis
shitYou guys do know Max Landis wrote this shit, right?
So it's not just a David Ayer movie. It's a Max Landis-written David Ayer movie.

Landis also wrote like 6 eps.

Jesus, the guy does one dud of a movie, which was reported to have had a lot of studio interference, and he's suddenly a hack. This guy put out End of Watch!! At least give him more than 1 dud before you write him off completely.
Max Landis though, I have no excuse for him. Carry on.
And will Smith is will SmithJoel Edgerton as an orc. Edgar Ramirez as an elf.
Sure, why not.
Why the hell would they put 'from the director of Suicide Squad' in the trailer

Shadowrun starring Will Smith
Yeah, that sounds up Landis' alley.It's sort of hard to describe, but it's basically this glib mix of 20something dudebro party movie and violent globe-trotting colonialism party movie.
It said Suicide Squad and I groaned, but then it said Fury and I said "Okay" and nodded, and then it said End of Watch and I was like "Fuck yeah, I'm in."Why the hell would they put 'from the director of Suicide Squad' in the trailer
Has Bobby ever done like a podcast with Max or something? I feel like it could be great.
It did almost happen once, I believe.
We should invite Max to get a GAF account.
"Bobby Roberts" is all an elaborate ruse. The face, the name, the voice - all that. Just some dude I've been hiring the past 10+ years. Playing a role to provide cover for the real me: Max Landis.
