ive enjoyed most of the marvels et al but nobody elevated any of them that i can recall unforch
― puppy bash (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 21:25 (five years ago) link
training day was the best argument for david ayer sticking to scriptwriting over directing, or maybe an argument for antoine fuqua not being able to spin straw into gold when it comes to some of the other scripts he's directed

I'm not sure what anyone is talking about anymore. If that is at all my fault I apologize.

When are they making a Carvel movie?
wow, just perusing Hawke's filmography and I guess he starred in a Fuqua-directed Magnificent Seven remake in 2016
where is your Bergman now, Ethan?

hawke is v interesting is there a marvel for him out there
― puppy bash (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 21:42 (five years ago) link
obviously he ranks that as acting in a kurosawa adaptation remake, top flight material
the point is fair though: most of the superhero movies, at their most serious, aren't that far off from magnificent seven. only instead of tracking down a guy who can shoot uncommonly well to join your team, you end up recruiting a guy with claws or w/e

A lot of them are like "let's get the band back together again!" stories, except instead of a battle of the band at the end there is just a battle.

searching for Hawke today gets you: "Ethan Hawke Joins Terrence Howard, Wesley Snipes In The RZA-Directed Heist Thriller ‘Cut Throat City’"
he really should stop criticizing other people for having a shtick when he keeps doing these roles that are definitely a shtick

lol also: "Ethan Hawke on Why Vincent D'Onofrio Deserves an Oscar More than 'Some British Dork'"
hmm what's D'Onofrio been up to lately
― mh, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
Yeah, but he does those movies to pay for stuff like "First Reformed," right? Five for them, and one for me.
Ethan Hawke should try for one of those tons-of-makeup roles, or a CGI animal person or something. Get that Groot money.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 21:47 (five years ago) link
Acting AG, iirc.
i think he may be great idk tho its the kind of suspicion that would disappear if i looked harder than sideways at it
― puppy bash (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 21:48 (five years ago) link
i believe i’ve already established itt that ethan hawke will be playing johnny blaze in the ghost rider reboot i am casting in my mind
― We're in 2009—it's time to take risks, (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 21:51 (five years ago) link
I get the point that movies that have an actual artistic intent and involve more work from the actors in the realm of, say, acting rather than having the patience to sit in a makeup chair for eight hours are preferable work and are subjectively better as art. Reading about how the Coens decided they'd rather pitch to Netflix than try to make a play for traditional studio money for their oddball project is kind of disheartening. But if actors can work on smaller projects and parlay that success into a big paycheck wearing a cape and pretending to punch people, then sure, go for it

Max Lord was and is still Sam Neill hawke is v interesting is there a marvel for him out there
Speedball ffs, read the thread Reading about how the Coens decided they'd rather pitch to Netflix than try to make a play for traditional studio money
afaik they pitched and sold it to Annapurna, then Annapurna got it financed by Netflix

If Hawke is passed over for Blaze and Speedball, I'll see if I can pull some strings with the casting director for the upcoming D-Man flick.

If Hawke is passed over for Blaze
he directed the solo film iirc so that would be a real snub
― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 22:53 (five years ago) link
anyway he should play a middle-aged, battle-weary Cyclops

I was reading a review of her new movie and just thinking how Natalie Portman somehow managed to avoid the MCU, but then suddenly remembered she not only was in two of those Thor movies but is really the only actor to have jumped ship from the whole MCU enterprise.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link
Ed Norton! (Though really he was pushed out.)
― resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:36 (five years ago) link
Jeremy Renner too (?)
― rob, Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link
As was Terence Howard. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
― Plinka Trinka Banga Tink (Eliza D.), Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link
Yeah, and (Academy Award nominee!) Terrance Howard was sort of pushed out, too, right? But Portman opted out.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:39 (five years ago) link
Renner is still involved, isn't he? He just wasn't in the last one.
xxxxposts (geez guys) Hugo Weaving is another that comes to mind. Zachary Levi opted for Captain Marvel (the other one) over Marvel. Terrence Howard and Edward Norton were some less voluntary émigrés.

Remains to be seen if any of the Guardians cast are going to split in the wake of the Gunn mess. Bautista sure seems checked out at this point.
― For a superlative chug, only the eggiest nog will do! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:43 (five years ago) link
Bautista rules
― resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:46 (five years ago) link
Zachary Levi was in two Thor films. He hardly features in Thor 2 and his character was killed off in seconds in Thor Ragnarok. I don't know that there was much in the way of opting out there.
― treefell, Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:21 (five years ago) link
a) He was not portraying the character who was killed off in Ragnarok, b) I have a feeling that at least some of the dead Asgardians will be returning.
