Gore Verbinski? He’s Back.

July 27, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

Gore Verbinski has had a successful career as a director with films such as “The Ring,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Rango,” and “The Weather Man.” In fact, I’d say he caught the zeitgeist twice in his career with ‘Pirates’ and “The Ring.”

His career came to a stall after he released one of the biggest box-office bombs of all-time, “The Lone Ranger” and followed that one up with “A Cure For Wellness” in 2016. He hasn’t directed a film since.

In 2018, Verbinski was going to direct a film centering around Gambit, set within the X-Men film universe, but he dropped out of the project. Now, he has another potential film lined up, and it does look as though it might happen this time around.

Verbinski had also reportedly planned to make an animated feature titled “Cattywumpus,” a film about cats in outer space. The project was previously set up at Netflix but was eventually dropped by the studio. He’s still trying to shop it around.

A fall 2023 production start was set-up for Verbinski’s “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,” that is, before the actors strike happened. The aim is still to shoot the film in the fall, strike-depending, with Sam Rockwell cast in the lead role.

Here’s the plot synopsis for the peculiarly titled “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die”:

“The film follows a married guy who spends too much time with an online fantasy role-playing game who meets a man from the future with a strange plan”

Verbinski has not always hit the mark with his films, but he’s always chosen to make original content, save for one ‘Pirates’ sequel, which makes this latest project of his, at the very least, intriguing.
