I also wonder how many times it's a 180º - the crew thinks it's awesome and it's panned or they think it's trash and it goes up for an oscar.  |
I'm not an expert... but an educated guess is Christopher Lee will read the script, know his payment, the film budget, what other actors are in it, and what other films the director and production company has made. And by that, he'd know if it's likely to be trash. Still, even if the budget is small and the past directors work has been poor, there's always a small chance it will be a good film. But it's hard to get past a weak script.
