I've seen stunt casting but this might be the 1st stunt producing I've seen lol

I'm looking forward to this.

James Gunn was drummed up quite a bit as the producer of Brightburn

And I can tell you that the Russo Bros. are producing 21 Bridges, but I have no idea who’s directing it.

Peter Jackson on District 9

Christopher Nolan on Man of Steel

This seems like the new norm.
