I guess Di Bonaventura wants to be the puppet master and not have his authority over taken by a big name director.  What a better way than to get someone who has no action movie experience but has some fruity ones in his resume.  

This has bad written all over it.

It just wouldn't be right to do it without George Carlin.

Pray the writers come through.  And Tatum took acting classes.

I'm not necessarily defending Tatum but keep in mind that it is the Director's role to tell actors how to act. Sommers, Bay, Lucas, etc are known for not giving good direction and just telling the actors what is happening in the scene and go with it. That's not good directing.

And I don't disagree with you on that point either.  I think Tatum was also miscast to be honest.  As were Miller and Nichols.

Ripcord was my biggest beef. I didn't like the "wrong" love triangle/sibling thing either. I thought Miller was a beautiful Baroness when she was being mainpulative, etc. Nichols woulda been perfect as Scarlet in a different script. She's the one I'm most sad is not returning.

I hope the new movie takes more of a Special Missions / A-Team approach. Sort of like Renegades.
