Look at this circus. Powell is thirsty for another run because he knows the market loves a narrative, but Sweeney is stuck holding the bag while her guy plays heavy. It is typical Hollywood wash. You push the chemistry, you bank the tickets, then you get wrecked by the reality of the people behind the curtain. The pigeons are chirping. Braun is pulling the strings to kill the sequel buzz because he realizes the asset risk is getting too high for her personal equity. She needs to pivot or she is toast. And why is the waiter staring at my shoes? They are just loafers. If she does not detach from the pairing, she is basically letting someone else dictate her slate, which is how talent gets sidelined. Powell is still pushing, but that train has left the station. The whole thing is rotting from the inside out.
