I enjoyed "The Adjustment Bureau", which this new writer (George Nolfi), directed.
This project is still doomed though - having both Damon Lindelof and Steven Knight walk away from it is not an encouraging sign.
Anything that Damon Lindelof isn't a part of has a chance of being good, though.
I used to think the same about Lindelof, but I like The Hunt (2020), and things like Watchmen and The Leftovers have been critically praised. I decided that I'd unfairly lumped him in with JJ Abrams and his gang. As with Knight though, whatever you think of his stuff, he's an experienced writer, and both of them nope-ing out of whatever it is that Disney wants doesn't auger well.
It could just mean they're leaning away from depressing melodrama.
Honestly I just wanted to take the piss out of Lindelof. He's a talented writer... but like Abrams, what he creates isn't good. It's just easy to consume for the masses.
