There are bad movies, and then there are bad movies that somehow attract top-of-the-line stars. Who remembers Serenity? No, not the Firefly spin-off directed by Joss Whedon, but Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight's harebrained thriller that has one of the most unpredictable twist endings in recent memory. The movie featured Interstellar co-stars Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey in the lead roles, alongside Diane Lane, Jason Clarke, Jeremy Strong, and Djimon Hounsou. But their involvement couldn't convince its distributor, the now-defunct Aviron Pictures, to invest in a proper marketing campaign. Serenity grossed only $14 million against a reported budget of $25 million, and now holds a 21% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. It was only a year later that Hathaway's The Devil Wears Prada co-star Emily Bluntheadlined an even stranger movie.
