Verbinski Returns With Gonzo AI Thriller Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die

Gore Verbinski returns to directing after a decade with Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, a roughly $20M Briarcliff/Constantin indie shot in Cape Town about a dystopian future man who recruits Norms-diner patrons to save the world from AI; eight years in the making from Matthew Robinson’s TV-pilot concept to a feature, with Sam Rockwell leading a cast that includes Juno Temple, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña and Zazie Beetz, and supported by an avant-garde marketing push culminating in a Fantastic Fest premiere.
