Connell wasn't the only actor surprised to find that props promised by the script didn't actually exist.

So there was never a dress rehearsal and the performance was a cold read? AI may be to blame for the bad script, but there many other points of failure happening here.

Apparently they were given the script only a day before. And on the day of, they were told to just let people walk through, and improvise. Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-13134989/Embarrassed-Oompa-Loompas-actresses-Wonka-scam-talks.html

What a shame. The set pieces look great, but obviously look out of place on a concrete floor. I feel bad for all the actors involved.

Which srt pieces look great? All the ones I've seen so far look like shit.

Or, well, neighborhood Halloween party-level at best.

Is ai even to blame for the bad script? Because if a human being wrote it with the same effort and care applied to every aspect of this it’d still be terrible.

I’m not even saying ai can write as well as a person at the half ass level, but this isn’t even there
