Please Stop Hurting by Wanting
How much personal money does a typical real estate developer put into a major project ? Almost none. They only use OP money.
Can actors Neal, Peter, and Missus Suit afford $1.5M each to seed a 90 minute movie for TV production ? Yes. Can actors Clinton Jones and Diana take below their markets pay for deferred earnings ? Probably. Can the actors Mozzie estate give blessing and a couple hundred thousand to resurrect and post humously honor The King Con ? Easily.
Yet all these big studios have declined. Indicating that the expense of paying the key actors was prohibitively high, quashing commercial viability. Meaning, the people essential to preserving this family were not being more than lip service familial.
Actor Neal has been enormously successful post WC. Actors Peter, Diane, Clinton, and Missus Suit have all filled in with new gigs / career moves.
If the people that supposedly felt all warm and sibling during production can neither make an income-potential sacrifice for sake of THIS art nor put in their own money, it is obvious that fans are FEELING feelings a lot more strongly than the humans essential to the ART.
Put simply, if this is not for current market value AND using O P money, these actors ain't down. Let's enjoy what is out their instead of acting the beggars. It has become unbecoming in light of how little they really care about a sequel requiring any sacrifices. Nope.
