Can Ritchson Carry A Big Theatrical Movie?
This movie’s creation is good news for Ritchson, but it also indicates that the producers are putting increasing faith in him. While Ritchson is currently leading one of the most successful streaming TV series out there right now, the actor has not spent a lot of time as a big-screen movie lead. With projects likeFortune, studios will rely on him more to be the driving force of what brings people to the theater. Whether this succeeds or falters remains to be seen until movies likeFortuneget released.
