But Passengers wasn’t even out in 2010. How the hell did you get the first draft. That’s without mentioning that the film must’ve gone through development hell to have taken over 6 years to make.

It was one of the more talked about unproduced screenplays for years and years. Keanu Reeves spent about 5 years trying to get it made with him as the lead IIRC, but eventually let the rights go when he couldn’t get the money together. When I read it he was still involved.

EDIT: from Wikipedia: “The film was originally written in 2007 by Spaihts but was kept in development hell, with multiple actors attached throughout the years.”
