Another Hollywood film shooting in London...wish they'd consider Indian locations too. We have amazing historical sites perfect for period dramas!

Jean Reno is a legend! But honestly, the plot sounds similar to many other revenge thrillers. Hope they bring something fresh to the table.

Not sure about the title "The Butler" - sounds too generic. But with this cast and crew, it might surprise us. Will wait for trailer before judging.

Hope Molly gets substantial screen time and not just a token female lead role. Hollywood has been improving in this aspect lately 🤞
