47 Ronin (2013)
The movie 47 Ronin was doomed to fail before it even began. First, while having the same name as the Japanese film it was supposed to be based on, the the American version completely went away from the Japanese source material.
The writers were off to a bad start by disenfranchising the fans of the original movie. Second, the movie used mostly unknown Japanese actors. This made the American audience loose interest in the movie as well. Third, the studio played to heavy of a role in making the movie. They even took back the reins from the director. This caused the movie’s cost to skyrocket right away by attempting to reshoot major parts of the film.
