That’s fair. Sony hasn’t done much lately with their own live action Spider-Man related projects to deserve the benefit of the doubt but I’m willing to be surprised. Nic Cage leading the series is at least enough to get me to give it an honest chance.
You say you’ve never even seen Doctor Who before so by your own admission your opinion is uninformed and therefore offers nothing of substance. This is a community for discussing movies and television. Not your personal soapbox for airing your uninformed culture war grievances. Take that somewhere else.
The official logline for “I Play Rocky” reads: “A struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment writes a script that a big movie studio wants to buy, but he refuses to sell it unless he gets to play the lead. Turning down an offer of life-changing money, he instead works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role. The movie becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, garnering 10 Academy Award nominations and winning Best Picture.”
But even without that context I don’t understand why that’d be strange. Loads of biopics have been made about famous actors who’ve appeared in lots of films with a much less interesting story than how Sly brought Rocky to the screen by gambling on himself.
