Yeah, pretty much. We already got four lackluster films. But I’m cautiously optimistic, since Stewart seemed a little wary to return. So I’m hoping that whatever they pitched him, was a good enough idea that will show in the finished production.
A large sack of cash is what they pitched him.
They got Hall H for Discovery at Comic Con, even though (reportedly) they weren’t able to fill it. CBS is in a spending mood.
