Current Talk '24 I / Re: WB ORDERS FILMING OF NEW DS PILOT

It was bad enough that Rob Bowman's exit as director of the pilot in favor of his directing Elektra was likely a contributing factor to the pilot not going to series because the WB didn't like what P. J. Hogan had done as director (even though the WB hand picked Hogan), but now to learn that Jennifer Garner was basically forced to star in the movie -
Actors who were forced to play roles against their will: Jennifer Garner - Part 1
Actors who were forced to play roles against their will: Jennifer Garner - Part 2
- really makes Bowman's exit and the turn of events because of it sting. If Garner hadn't been forced to do the movie, perhaps there wouldn't have been no movie and Bowman never would have exited, so who knows what may have happened because up to P. J. Hogan taking over it was widely believed the '04 DS was a sure thing to go to series. But then, unless someone really can use I Ching wands to go back and change things, everything is moot at this point...
