After re-establishing his (correct) opinion that "Upgrade was a great movie," here is exactly what Blum very candidly told us:

"Upgrade should have been a wide release. I was pissed about that. We're working on a TV show. So working on the scripts. This first round, didn't come out. I didn't get the response I wanted to get. I don't want to be in development. I want an order. We're working on the scripts again, so that we can get an order. And I don't want to develop it."
