I thought that was the way for them to say it was more of a passion project than a full AAA film. Like, when directors know the material and do a trial run of what their view is to test the waters for a massive sequel.

Good movies don’t need big name actors to be good, they need a good story, good world, and a cast that can pull off the immersion with a director that knows how to harness it all together.
Big name actors are just a draw and I would argue a lot of the time they don’t help so much as ruin immersion a bit.

Yeah but you could say the same about a lot of people. Doesn’t mean it’s a “good movie” so much as a lot of people want to see that person in a thing and would pay regardless of what the thing is.
That’s the attitude that gives us the race to the bottom in creative work
Deadpool started out on an insufficient budget and only made it because of fans. The 2nd one did better but fell short. The 3rd one knocked it out of the park and set the franchise up for greatness.

Counterpoint:
Sydney Sweeney’s tits are worth every penny.
Well, yeah. But that’s an exception to the rule not the rule itself.
If it was just her dumping a No. 10 can of creamed corn on herself it’d probably sell well.
