Chris Pratt movie, Passengers. Horror alternative version.
That movie would have been a lot better if they switched they switched the perspective.
It also would have been interesting if Pratt died in the end.
Or it just didn't pretend to be a romance at all. I don't know who belongs on a watchlist for greenlighting the script, as producers are well known to override the actual writers, but someone does.
It being a romance in the beginning works well, especially with the reveal.
Continuing the romance through to the end should have been handled a lot differently.
The best explanation I've heard for continuing the romance after the reveal is down to marketing.
No one wants to take a date to a romance that turns into a horror, especially when the horror is the guy being a predator, so you either give the twist away in trailers and lose half your draw or try to pretend the creepiness was necessary somehow.
