Once upon a time , Gore Verbinski was releasing film at a reliable cadence , from Mouse Hunt and The Ring to thePirates of the Carribeantrilogy . Things took a turn in the 2010s with a pair of box office bombs : 2013’sThe Lone Rangerand 2016 ’s A Cure for Wellness . He ’s been in director purgatory since then , but a potential comeback may be on the horizon with his next film .
PerDeadline , Verbinski has rounded up a cast for his upcoming action mechanism - adventure movie Good Luck , Have Fun , Do n’t pop off . Leading the ensemble dramatis personae is the ever - reliable Sam Rockwell ( most recently seen in Argylle ) , who ’s joined by Haley Lu Richardson ( The White Lotus ) and Marvel alum Zazie Beez ( Deadpool 2 ) , Michael Peña ( Ant - Man ) , and Juno Temple ( Ted Lasso ) . The search is underway for more castmembers forward of production starting later on this year in Cape Town , South Africa .
The ilm ’s script issue forth courtesty of Matthew Robinson , who co - wrote 2020’sLove & Monsters . Plotwise , it see Rockwell as a “ humankind from the future ” who shows up at a diner in LA to levy several of the people inside ( Richardson , Beetz , Temple , and Peña ) . Their mission ? Go on a “ one - night - six - block quest ” to save the world from an AI that ’s plump out to go scalawag and put the universe into peril , a la Terminator .

After Cure came out , Verbinski was attached to lineal adaptations forBioShockand George R.R. Martin’sSandlings , plus theChanning Tatum - lead Gambitfor Fox . All those fell through for their respective understanding , so it ’s nice to see him get back behind the television camera after well-nigh a decade away .
