movies

Hollywood is stuck on the same actors. I groaned when they cast Anya taylor joy for Furiosa, cause she's in everything and I'm sick of it.

It's like how 5+ years ago every movie had Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence

Agreed. Reusing the same set of hyped actors across films definitely reduces the level of immersion. Unless ofc the actors can truly transform themselves like Colin Farrell in the new Penguin series to give a recent example.

I think the issue is that nowadays the job of actors in big movies like these is just as much being a vehicle for marketing as it is the acting itself. I've heard that the rule of thumb is that Hollywood spends a similar amount on marketing as it does on production. So you want someone with a household name that people recognize, that people associate with a type of movie they like, and that can tour through the media circus and talks shows creating buzz.

Plus it helps with acquiring financing.

So as much as I'd want to see more fresh faces (and more normal people, not the unrealistic Hollywood standards), I doubt it'll happen.

I'm sick of Millie Bobbie Brown. Also hate how Hollywood refused to accept her as a young person and just made her 40

Unless this was edited after your post, you just skipped this:

The project is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Simon Stalenhag. Shot in October 2022 and wrapping in February 2023, further reshoots took place in March and April of this year.

Yep. Thats the real reason I'm excited for this movie.

I feel like having a bunch of A-list actors kinda takes away from it.
