It does inspect the lead's ethics.  The draft I read was Keanu and Reece so it was pretty early BUT the main point is that even though he did it out of loneliness and potential love for someone he didn't know, he still told her.  She hates him for I can't remember how long but she later understands and they live a long, happy life together.  Yes, he's incredibly selfish by waking her up, but the script still covers his wrongdoings.  It doesn't right them, but it finds slight comedy out of the terrible situation they're in.  THE VOICES is a DARK comedy.  This isn't even a comedy, it's a drama, it's a love story set in a science fiction world.  Should it cost $100M, no way.  The budget has ballooned and unless it isn't done right, it'll struggle to make $ but it's a wonderful story with an incredible ending.

You're not an idiot.  Apologies for that.  I loved this script and I'm very glad it is getting made with the cast it currently has.

He is playing Arthur, the charming robotic bartender. One of the best parts of the middling script. {nm} tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 11:48

Middling script leads to mediocre movie? {nm} lesana Jul 17, 11:56

Long Story Short: Chris Pratt's character is ethically repulsive and the script plays with hard SciFi, then abandons internal logic. {nm} tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 12:04

Lol you're an idiot. Sorry, but that assessment deserves to be called out. {nm} doitdoitdoitnow Jul 17, 12:47

Care to elaborate? I understand that most people love this script. But the prat falls and queesy ethics turned me off big time. tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 13:08

That sounds different from the draft I read. tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 19:24

Has anyone else read this? Can you explain to me why it's considered a hot property and not just creepy and gross? tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 12:02

It was even more creepy when it was Keane Reeves waking Reece Witherspoon {nm} RazorHawk Jul 17, 12:17

Auto correct shut up... you get it wrong everytime {nm} RazorHawk Jul 17, 12:18

Heh - reverse Matrix. {nm} RogerMore Jul 17, 12:19

Scrubbed for spoilers? {nm} tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 13:09

Yes, that read like a massivev spoiler that completely changes one's sympathy for the character. {nm} Antibody Jul 17, 13:42

Understood. Apologies. To anyone who saw the previous post THAT IS NOT THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE. tawdryhepburn Jul 17, 13:50

That's good to know. {nm} Antibody Jul 17, 14:46
