That's good stuff. But as you say there would always some chance involved.

What I'm wondering about is the point beyond the speculation of script, money, cast, & crew when the actors know - with metaphysical certainty - that the film they're in is a festering pile of road-kill.

I'm sure it's different for each individual actor and film but - with so many films out there - might there be a "typical point" at which this epiphany occurs for the bulk of actors on the majority of films?

If there is a way to figure a "typical point", I'm missing it.
