I don’t know if you remember the controversy around Wanda. Wanda was not a fish, which sparked a media firestorm about who is appropriate for various roles, appropriation, and other topics the movie-going public was decidedly not ready for. It harkened back to the controversy around the Lassie movies.
Anyway, that movie almost single-handedly precipitated the end of fish in movie production. For some it was a victory, for others, it was a significant setback that signaled a nadir in human/fish relations.
And it set the stage for the 2010s and Taylor Swift.
John Carpenter probably owns the rights. I’m guessing streaming services would prefer to deal with smaller fish.
TIL that he’s a fish
A surprising number of 1980s actors and directors were fish.
Even Wanda?
Fish shaped but technically a dolphin.
