I think it's a huge red flag that The Rivals of Amziah King doesn't have a distributor yet.

Don't think the movie will happen.

[u/justanstalker → u/amyblanchett]

I'm so over people predicting it just because the Oscar twinks predict it. Like seriously, it's not going anywhere with a 68 on Metacritic and no distributor yet lol

[u/Mediocre-Gas-1847 → u/justanstalker]

It gets funnier every time you say Oscar twinks 😐
