The excitement continues with upcoming films like Chris Hemsworth’s Crime 101, Emerald Fennell’s steamy romance Wuthering Heights, and Glen Powell’s How to Make a Killing.

Who Is The Director Of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die?
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is directed by Gore Verbinski, whose filmography is nothing short of impressive. After helming Mouse Hunt (1997), Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts’ The Mexican (2001), and the supernatural horror hit The Ring (2002), he went on to direct the first three films in the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Dead Man’s Chest (2006), and At World’s End (2007). He later directed Johnny Depp’s Oscar-winning animated feature Rango.
With such a diverse and accomplished body of work spanning comedy, horror, swashbuckling adventure, and animation, there’s every reason to be excited about his next big-screen venture, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.
