Contains major plot spoilers for the film Passengers, and some spoilers for Interstellar

When I first read a version of Jon Spaihts's script Passengers, I was informed that, for years – since 2007, in fact – it was considered one of the best unmade screenplays lying around Hollywood.

This enthusiasm was echoed by Chris Pratt, who stars in the soon-to-be-released film.

“It was maybe the best script I had ever read. John Spaihts wrote the script, and it was just so great,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
