*WHY: i’m glad its looking to be a grand flick. I bought this stock, back when, of the description and now have a +154 profit.
Will be SOO AWESOME! Will scratch our gritty anachronistic noir itch left by LA CONFIDENTIAL and SIN CITY. Will def put some air under Eckhart and Hartnett. Swank is a no-brainer to bank on. Kirschner will raise for like a second—she doesn’t have another project setup yet. And Johanssan will def get a nice boost, keepinf her soaring charts consistant. A month and a half- can’t wait!!
