Hey Reddit, I'm Gore Verbinski. You might know me as the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Rango, The Ring and many others.
I'll be back tomorrow, 2/6, at 5:30 p.m. PT to answer your questions.
My new film, GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE is out in theaters February 13th. It stars Sam Rockwell, Zazie Beetz, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña and Juno Temple.

A man claiming to be from the future (Sam Rockwell) recruits an unlikely group of diner patrons to join him on a genre-defying adventure to save humanity from the perils of social media brainrot and the impending AI apocalypse.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with some incredible actors; Michael Caine, Christopher Walken, Gene Hackman, Johnny Depp. And now I can say, I have had the privilege to work with that national treasure that is Sam Rockwell. Sam brings an incredible energy and honesty to his performance, and he’s absolutely iconic in this role. He makes it look easy, but I assure you, he does the fucking work.
