Film starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence somehow gets greenlight

Sometimes I just don't understand Hollywood.

Ok, so this is pretty spooky, guys. Passengers - a sci-fi film written by Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts that has long been stuck in development - has seen two massive changes in status this week, almost at the same time!

First hugely attractive and bankable movie stars Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence sign up for the movie, and then it gets the go ahead for filming! This kind of coincidence is almost worthy of a film itself.

A spokesperson for Sony, who are foolishly bankrolling this completely original film with surely no hope to make any kind of return, said:

When informed that the film is titled Passengers and is about a guy who awakens from stasis in deep space 90 years before everyone else and decides to wake up a woman to keep him in company on a journey through a deep, dark void of nothingness until the end of their living days, the spokesperson said:

Then he got in his solid gold limousine and very, very slowly pulled away to meet an appointment to have his pupils surgically lasered into the shape of dollar signs.
