I dunno what counts as big budget, but 30 Minutes or Less was seen as tasteless in how it was based on a real-life serious event that had occurred.
On a false advertising note, the movie's run time is 1 hour, 23 minutes. Bullshit.

Man pitched this fever dream of an idea in 97, was laughed out of the room.
Folks only agreed with the same guy to make it in 2006 after seeing it was based on a best selling comic book.
That comic book was written by the person who initially pitched the idea in 97. He practically paid comic book stores to carry and give away the comic book so it'd be a "best seller".

I can't find it now but I remember finding it pretty funny at the time when Uwe Boll said Leatherheads was a completely unnecessary movie. He's right, but he also made the Postal movie.
