Both of HBO's David Fincher Shows in Jeopardy

"As for Utopia, Lombardo admitted that HBO is "struggling right now trying to figure that out. Sources tell THR that Utopia — which is rumored to have cast Rooney Mara — is way over budget. "We're at that moment, trying to figure out if there is a path forward or not for Utopia."

Utopia was picked up straight to series in February 2014, with Gone Girl authorFlynn attached to pen the U.S. take."

I'm glad I picked the show just 1 week before it ended. Binge watching made it easier because I didn't suffer the waiting and the inevitability of cancellation. But then again, it felt like I had A+ piffery for 5 days, ate like a motherfukker and all of a sudden I had nothing and was left to starvation :mjcry:

And now HBO gonna fukk around because of budget? :pacspit:

Nah man....this looks like it's Fincher's fault. There's no way in hell a show this small should have budget problems.

Would it kill them to take a shot on some unknown? I hate when directors and studios rely on the name of the actors to carry the movie. That simply reeks of a pathetic plot to me and this is the only way to get a return. I've seen movies and shows where I didn't know a single actor and wasn't disappointing so why does it matter?

That's what I'm saying breh. Aside from some kinda known UK actors the entire original "Utopia" series was basically low budget. Not in terms of quality, I mean there was nothing on that show that would cause a problem with budget. U.S. always has to try and solve a problem by throwing more money at it, so this really isn't surprising.

"Luther" should be starting kinda soon. They finished filming a while ago.

"Sherlock" probably won't be back until late 2016, or later.
