Its a precarious place, but seems to always be where movie production sits. Any movie.
Persuading actors with name-draw that people are familiar with, the "stars", to participate is part of the strategy to pull in viewers, helping to make a profit. But this handful of folks is small, and they get huge sums to join in. So the dance into the black isn't guaranteed by including marquee stardom.
The story/script part seems really tricky to pull off, so the same trick is employed as with adding the big-name actors. Use a story, or previous film theme, that was successful before. Example: the A Star is Born retreads. Or go the infinite sequel route.
Follow Ups:
With The Irishman you have former box office top stars combined with a former great director
for a film that is already famous for reaching an astronomical production budget that has yet
to include marketing/hype and distribution.
Ten or so years ago it sounded like a movie with serious potential.
As each year goes by, it just seems like something already... done.
And somewhere in that mix of ego, talent, work, strife, and possibly
art, someone expects it will make money?
Questionable.
And I like all involved.
