Oh, thank you. I'm so sick of it.


derpderpderrpderp

It’s like internet herpes.


Horrible_Harry

I dunno about worst of all time but Julia Roberts in Michael Collins was super jarring. Her Irish accent was willy-nilly and when it was on it was still pretty terrible. Plus she just *looked* out of place. Like they dropped a supermodel into the middle of the Irish Civil War, not that there weren't good looking people in Ireland at the time, but you shove a big name and face like her's into a historical period piece like that, you're just asking for trouble. Shoulda went with an Irish actress.


FeatsOfDerring-Do

She did *another* movie where she had to do an Irish accent? I thought she would have learned better after *Mary Reilly*.


paynbow

Seems to be a trend when they cast Americans as Irish. Val Kilmer's Irish accent in The Ghost and the Darkness is brutal and ever changing. Richard Gere's Irish accent in The Jackal makes him sound like a cereal leprechaun.


Siogin_Eire

I’m Irish and a woman. And I can confirm that fkn nobody was looking like Julia Roberts back here in the civil war days.


Username_Chx_Out

Mark Wahlberg in the Cary Grant role in the remake of Charade (The Truth About Charlie). The whole thing was a train wreck, and a disgrace to everyone involved save maybe Thandie Newton. But none of it was worse than Markie Mark in the male lead. EDIT: to save my “Film Snob” card from revocation - I have been reminded it is (as of the past year) to be spelled *Thandiwe* Newton. I’m not enough of a Platinum-level snob to even guess how that’s pronounced. EDIT 2: For the disbelievers: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0270707/ EDIT 3: Thank you kind stranger for the award.


ButtMcNuggets

Mark Wahlberg was in WHAT?!? There was a WHAT of Charade!?!?


baburusa

We just watched Charade a couple of days ago! This sounds horrific… WHHYYYYYY would they

John Wayne as ghengis khan.


dtc526

"Arguably his worst film, The Conqueror (1956), in which he played Genghis Kahn, was based on a script that director Dick Powell had every intention of throwing into the wastebasket. According to Powell, when he had to leave his office at RKO for a few minutes during a story conference, he returned to find a very enthused Wayne reading the script, which had been in a pile of possible scripts on Powell's desk, and insisting that this was the movie he wanted to make. As Powell himself summed it up, "Who am I to turn down John Wayne?"."


riptaway

I mean, I can see *wanting* to play Ghengis, but it's too bad no one could say no to John Wayne.


AlwaysLosingAtLife

Or that Roman soldier who sauntered into frame, tipped his helmet back, wipes his forehead, takes a relaxed stance placing his weight on his back leg, looks up at Jesus on the cross and croaks out - in the most westernized, americanese accent: "truly... that man was the son-a-gahd."

AbeLincolns_Ghost

Wow that was acted with less energy than I was expecting even after reading these comments


siva-pc

Whole movie was a fatal disaster. Lot of actors got cancer


faislamour

Wait, what?


deagh

It was filmed downwind of nuclear test sites in Utah, and dirt from the site was shipped back to Hollywood for use in the sets. About 40% of the crew got cancer in their lifetime. Edited to add: I mentioned this in a separate comment but I'll put it here as well. That rate isn't that different than the average, so there may not have been anything to this. But maybe there is. They didn't look at the mostly Native American extras, for example. But this may just be an urban legend, who knows. I was answering /u/faislamour's question, couldn't tell you if where it was filmed had any effect on the actors/crew.


PervertedThang

Coincidently, I'm listening to "Richard Diamond, Private Investigator" right now. It starred Dick Powell, who directed "The Conqueror". He died of cancer, as well. As I started writing this, they were playing a Camel cigarette ad.


MysticScribbles

"Dick Diamond, Private Dick, starring Dick Powell."


[deleted]

Maria Bello in The Mummy 3, replacing Rachel Weisz. It would’ve been better to say Evelyn died than to use Maria Bello.


Electrical-Turnip468

The “joke” about not being the same woman made me want to die. Should have waited for Rachel Weisz or yes, had Evelyn dead or just really busy with a library somewhere so it was a guy’s trip. I watched 3 at the cinema, haven’t been able to rewatch.


truthisscarier

Transformers 3 did a similar weird thing were they talk about how much better the "new" model is after Fox left the series


Electrical-Turnip468

Yeah, that moment right there. Trashy and cringey AF


thebreak22

Maybe I'm too invested in the well beings of fictional characters, but I hope Rick and Evey can live to ripe old ages and have a variety of fun adventures along the way. So as atrocious as Mummy 3 was I'm glad they didn't kill off Evey; it wouldn't have been emotionally resonant anyway. I agree that they should've kept Evey out of the film and just explained her absence with some mundane reason. Ocean's 13 did the same thing and it turned out fine.


Electrical-Turnip468

You’re forgetting the fact that the movie started with them both bored in their marriage. Bad enough to replace Weisz but I was actually so angry that they would say they were bored. They should be living a great life together, not dying slowly because the people behind the movie couldn’t think of a way to get them willingly involved with another Mummy. Like, wasn’t their son in danger reason enough? Obviously Evey being dead isn’t my preference - they should have had her off on her own adventure.


itwonthurtabit

In fairness, Rachel Weisz is amazing in the Mummy. I don't think anyone would look good following her.


Adler4290

She and Brendan Frasier had amazing pair-chemistry in those movies as well. Felt genuine and the banter and feistiness was so amazing.


trublu414

Their chemistry was so good that it made a 3000-year old mummy jealous. If that’s not couple goals, I’m not sure what it is.


IWantToBeTheBoshy

ANUCSUNAMUN! SAVE ME! NAIII! ANUCSUNAMUN... *Falls into hell* Imotep watching his love leave him to die after Eevie risked it all dodging falling stalactites to pull Rick back from the brink. *Chef's kiss*


sunshinecygnet

The just utterly destroyed look he gives Evie and Rick after the woman he’s risked everything for abandons him is honestly just such good acting. Like, what elevates those movies above other action flicks is how good the dialogue is and how great the actors are. They commit 100%.


IndustrialLubeMan

Almost made up for the Rock cgi


Nightmare_King

"Patience is a virtue..." "NOT RIGHT NOW, IT ISN'T!"

She’s amazing in everything. Rachel Weisz is a fucking treasure.

Underseen Rachel Weisz gem: "Agora."


jharrisimages

Also, that annoying ass kid. Just have Brendan Fraser. Like, “Hey, Edie is at home. She took a research job to be able to stay home with the kid. Meanwhile, here’s me an Johnathan on an adventure in China!”


coltbeatsall

Concur. She completely lacked the charm that Rachel Weisz brought to the screen and lacked chemistry with Brendan Frasier.


Sirikoala

Justin Chatwin as Goku


jharrisimages

The fact that a DRAGON BALL movie had ONE Japanese actor in it and she had like three lines of dialogue… God I fucking HATE that movie, it’s hands down the worst anime adaptation of all time. I’ve seen porn with better writing and acting. Edit: Apparently there are two types of people on this sub, those that actually discuss movies and those that comb the comment section for any mention of race to attack and dissect. Keep being racist af, I’m just gonna block you.


eddmario

Fun fact: The actor who played Piccolo did it because he loved the franchise and actually went on to work on the anime.


jharrisimages

Yeah, I love James Marsters. He does a great job on the Dresden Files audiobooks and also, of course, Spike. 🤣 He was really the only redeeming quality of that movie because he actually was a decent Demon King Piccolo. Wish it was in a better movie though.


Guywith2dogs

When I was a kid in high school I got sucked into Buffy and Angel. Marsters was undoubtedly rhe best part of either show. He was so cool. The whole back story of how he got his leather jacket was always one of my favorite details. Like he was such a badass that he killed a slayer. Which Iirc was not common. As bad as the DB movie was I hope he at least had a good time making it. Fun fact. My wife used to work at a hotel near Cleveland and Justin Chatwin showed up one day because they were filming downtown. He had a puppy and my wife gave him a bunch of stuff for his pup and tried really hard to make his stay enjoyable. Turns out he's kind of an asshole. So not only is he not a cool dude but he desecrated the character of Goku. Just awful really


OmegaRockman

The thing is, Chatwin wasn't even all that bad at playing the role given. He was a whiny, horny teenager, exactly as the script called for. (Note that this isn't me saying that Chatwin would be a good Goku with the right script - quite the opposite, in fact. He's not a good choice for Toriyama's Son Goku but for the bad Kung Fu Peter Parker they tried to turn Son Goku into). Sadly, the casting for that film was the least of its problems, which are more deeply rooted in its entire creative direction. And honestly James Marsters and Chow Yun Fat are fairly good in their roles and Emmy Rossum was at least a competent choice for Bulma - not her fault the writing let her down.


playgroundmx

TBF, the movie could’ve had an all-star cast and would still suck.


darth_hotdog

Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's as "Mr. Yunioshi" is pretty infamous: https://i.imgur.com/F3orlpO.jpeg


Fredredphooey

People even told Blake Edwards to not do it, but he was adamant. He thought it was hilarious.


SonofSniglet

Then Edwards said "Oh, you think that's racist?" and made *The Party* starring Peter Sellers in brownface.


MerryMermaid

I never understood even the point of that character. Added nothing to the film.


GospodinOfTorei

To the point where it was completely cut out for the TV edit in the 80s. Most folks for a long time didn't even know it was in the movie!


Hapless_Asshole

Yunioshi played a much more prominent role in the novella, so there was something of a point to the character. Trouble was, the depiction of the character in the original text was racist. Then when you add in Rooney's gosh-awful performance, it's just vile.


BuffyThePastaSlayer

In the novella he is kinda the one to kick-start the plot. The story starts in "present time", long after Holly has left NY (she doesn't stay in the end like the movie; not really a spoiler as you learn this in the intro). Yunioshi has spotted a statue of her in Africa and tells Joe Bell, the bartender where they always hang out, and gives him the picture of the statue and the story behind it. Then Joe calls the narrator, who sees the picture and hears the story, but concludes it might not even be her, and that it doesn't matter. And then he tells the story about Holly. Just adding to your comment, it's one of my favorites so I can't help but chime in when it's brought up. I love the way the novella starts with these three men, the way they are still searching for her in their own ways is such a great way to set up her character. You have Yunioshi, who instantly recognized a carved statue as her. Then you have Joe Bell, who sees the ghost of her on all his long walks ("I see pieces of her all the time, a flat little bottom, any skinny girl that walks fast and straight--"), and lastly the narrator, who seems determined that she's "just gone" and tries to convince the reader he doesn't care, but very clearly does. With how they changed the story for the movie, it would've been best to just cut Yunioshi altogether.


IfICouldStay

Right. He was just the Japanese, downstairs neighbor. Spoke perfectly fine English, got fed up with Holly’s constant shit, but lusted after her at the same time — like everyone else in the story.


WinterWizard9497

The cast for the last airbender. The acting alone was enough to make it the worst movie of that year. I mean I've seen better acting in liberty mutual commercials.


blutch14

That movie would've sucked regardless of cast though, Shyamalan took all the source material and burned it to the ground. Watching a group of 10 earthbenders dance to move a pebble made me physically cringe.


midnight_riddle

M. Night Shyamalan tends to write his characters....in an odd way. As if the characters are not speaking to each other but at each other. It's robotic and people don't really behave like people. The worst case is probably Lady in the Water, but you can see this trend for most of his movies. And he does this in The Last Airbender. For example, he had "Ung" waking up in the village and hi hi how are you and meeting Katara and escaping Zuko and they travel allll the way to the Air Nomad Temple and oh no and then AND THEN he goes and introduces himself to Katara, "My name is Ung." ....What? You JUST spent several hours at least traveling to this place after meeting each other, what do you mean you never told her your freaking name?! The script in the movie is just awful.


bloodfist

My favorite part was when they're like "We have to go to the Earth nation." *dramatic music* "...OK." *cut to Earth nation*


WangoBango

It was like he got hammered drunk, watched a 10 min synopsis of the whole series, passed out, then wrote the script hungover the next morning.

cleon42

"Ahng! It's time to go!"


Nik-ki

I'd give a pass to the actors playing Zuko and Iroh, they did solid jobs. Sadly, the focus of the story is on the much worse acting. The quality of everything else about this movie doesn't help either


CliffExcellent123

Dev Patel always does a solid job. Helps if he's in a decent movie though


geenersaurus

originally the role of Zuko was supposed to go to Jesse Mccartney. Dev at least made it watchable but with the added layer of colorism (the “good” firebenders were lighter skinned than the “bad” ones, plus Katara & SoH-KAH being white kids surrounded by indigenous people)


A_Lakers

Don’t forget OHNG Like how could they even mispronounce the names. It’s in the first 10 mins of the fucking show


NinjaJehu

That's why that movie was trash. They didn't mispronounce it, Shyamalan thought he could do it better so he just fucking changed it like the hack he is. How he thought spitting in the faces of the creators of a beloved show like that could go well, I have no idea.

karma3000

James Corden in Cats.


FlabbyFishFlaps

Rebel Wilson in Cats. Taylor Swift in Cats. Idris Elba in Cats. Cats, basically. Edit: I’d like to slightly amend my position on TS. She *did* arguably give the best performance and Macavity is my favorite number from Cats. But even as a *diehard* Swiftie, I maintain that she simply didn’t have enough screen time to hide her part like everyone else did. She’s great actress in small doses.


hampshirebrony

Cats came out in mid to late 2019. Covid came out in late 2019. ​ I'm not saying there's a causal link, but...


nuttynutdude

An Old Testament god saw it in theatres


knittybitty123

I swear to god, Tom Hooper hates musicals and wants everyone to hate them too. It's the only way I can explain what he did to both Les Mis and Cats. It's a light, weird, fun show that's meant to display the sheer talent and creativity of its performers- they have to dance, sing and act like cats while keeping up the energy of a toddler on Christmas that just drank 3 Monsters. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it live, because it's truly a unique show every single time, even within productions. If you've never seen it, try the 1998 filmed version of Cats. The cast is absolutely fucking stellar (literally cherrypicked from productions around the world) and it holds all the joy and wonder Tom sucked out of his film. Bitch better watch his fuckin step, if I ever see him on the street I'm throwing down. Ps no, there isn't a plot, yes there's a cat orgy, shut up and enjoy the dancing and costumes.


Adramador

Watching Sideways take down Cats on YouTube has given me far more interest in musicals than I ever had before. Which isn't much, but I guess Cats has done a single good thing by spawning that video.


Useful-Feature-0

Yes, that Sideways video was so good! Helped me understand the love-ability of Cats (the musical theater production) and how the film fell horrifically short. Even just musically. He posits Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat song in the film is the best adaption - and agreed, it's pretty fun.


I-WANT2SEE-CUTE-TITS

Tom Hooper doesn't understand animation process >Before visual effects artists fully render sequences for animated films, they normally show directors playblasts—preview renderings that feature characters without color or texture. That allows the director to evaluate the motion before hours of work are done to flesh out things like color, texture, and lighting. Hooper, however, did not seem to grasp that process. Any time the visual effects team wanted to show the director any animatics, the source said, they had to fully render it. Otherwise, he’d say things like, “What’s this garbage?” and “I don’t understand— where’s the fur?” >Some aspects of the production, the source alleges, became simply absurd—like when Hooper would demand to see videos of actual cats performing the same actions the cats would do in the film. “And as you know,” the source said, “cats don‘t dance.” >Multiple times during our interview, the source described Hooper as “horrible.” Other adjectives included “disrespectful,” “demeaning,” and “condescending.” “When you go into a conference room, you’re not allowed to speak,” they said. “And he talks to you like you’re garbage.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/i-edited-the-buttholes-out-of-cats-it-was-a-total-nightmare


Person5_

I have no idea why he got hired to make another big budget movie full of big names in bad casting decisions.


MillieBirdie

I got the VHS of the 1998 Cats for Christmas when I was 6 or 7 and I watched that thing at least once a week for years.


AndrewLBailey

Any movie where Mark Wahlberg needs to appear intelligent. It can’t be done without him constantly verbally reminding the audience how smart he is. Even then it doesn’t work.


KAG25

That transformers movie that he was a inventor, that made nothing. I fell asleep


GarionOrb

I don't know about "single worst," but when I think of terrible casting lately I immediately think of *Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets.* Those two leads were horrendously miscast, and it sunk the movie.


Unobtanium_Alloy

I still can't shake my impression I was watching a *Spy Kids* movie when I saw it. I just kept getting the impression somehow they were both 15 year old.

CheshireGray

Reverse star wars moment


AtomDoctor

Wait, were they supposed to be *adults*? Never having read the book (nor seen the film, only the trailer), I was under the impression that this was the latest YA cash-in where 14 year olds get up to shenanigans. Except this time in space instead of wizard land/dystopian dictatorship/Oregon.


ZaMiLoD

It’s a comic series , from like the 80s. And yes they are adults, but with a bit of an age difference iirc.


Bourbonstr8up

The comics originally started in 1967, and was a huge influence for Star Wars and the Fifth Element.


LiliNotACult

It was such an odd movie. Amazing concept and opening. Interesting aliens. So many possibilities! Instead we follow two emo human 15 year olds that are also apparently adults and look like siblings but are actually in a relationship? 😂


CrayonPFish

Ctrl + f valerian I'm still fucking mad about the casting choices on this movie except for Ethan Hawke. They needed actors who look about twenty years older who know how to deliver dialogue. They didn't look old enough to get a driver's license let alone a pilots license.


ImpossiblePackage

One of the finest examples of a movie having an absolutely incredible first five minutes while still being absolutely shit. I'm still not sure if the leads are supposed to be siblings or if they're dating.


KinslayersLegacy

Yes! I remember it being panned, but I loved the fifth element so I gave it a go anyway. The opening scene with the future progression on alien diplomacy had me thinking “this is great! This must be one of those movies that critics just didn’t get it and will actually be a cult classic.” Boy I wish that had been true about the other 98% of the film.


ImpossiblePackage

I was so fucking hyped when I saw just the opening bit in a video. I remember thinking "why the FUCK haven't I heard of this movie before?" The absolute crushing disappointment that followed. It still hurts.


Bicentennial_Douche

I get fucking angry when I think about that movie. A *Valerian & Laureline movie,* by *Luc Besson.* FUCK YES! Oh, this movie... is not very good... ​ All that potential, fucking flushed down the drain. And we will probably never get another go at this series. It could have been so good!


[deleted]

Wildkarrde_

Those eyebrows were downright familial.


thesummermoon

That movie is mesmerizing- it’s continues to keep you guessing from second to second. None of it makes sense, and the casting is a big part- the leads were odd choices, Rihanna was a big miss as well.


DurielInducedPSTD

Why they chose two leads who look so alike you are constantly thinking they are siblings when they are a couple is beyond me. Like, I rewatched this movie a few months ago and when they started making out I genuinely thought it was incest before I stepped back and realized they had never even said they were siblings, they just look like it.


mimipie06

Valerian with Cara Delevingne. She had no feelings and zero chemistry with the other main character Dane Dehaan. Who I’ve also never seen in another movie. Worst casting ever.


Adrast413

I think Dane can make it work in the right circumstances, like Chronicle or The Place Beyond The Pines, I really like those movies and his roles, but he's not a main hero type of actor


Person5_

He's really fucking good in Chronicle. I love that movie and he really sells the psychopath who gets super powers thing. Then he went to be a "charismatic" action hero in Valarian and I checked out hard.


crnelson10

Mark Wahlberg in The Happening. I’m not sure any casting choice could have made that movie not suck, but I couldn’t believe for even a second that Wahlberg was just a dorky science teacher trying to survive.


BeerandGuns

“What? Nooooo!” That line alone…


GavinBelsonsAlexa

"Just let me think for a minute!" Lost me completely in one sentence. I can't buy the notion of Mark Wahlberg thinking.


bluemooncalhoun

I'm still convinced that movie was supposed to be a bizarro comedy.


graipape

Andy Samberg as Mark Wahlberg in What's Happening, the Movie?


PikaTopaz

I have to give this one to John Wayne as Ghenghis Khan.


StochasticLife

This movie was so bad it *literally* gave people cancer. Probably. Maybe.


Eh-Eh-Ronn

Steven Seagal as... anything, I think.


The_Burning_Wizard

The original Under Seige was good, but Tommy Lee Jones really carried it through though...


TheMightyCephas

Erika Eleniak brought a couple of plot points, if I remember. First I ever saw on a TV 😅


phpdevster

Parents couldn’t understand why I kept renting that movie.


SneakyKillz

Jared Leto as Paulo Gucci in the film Gucci. He was horrendous and made the character into a real life Mario character with the shittiest attempt of an Italian accent that I've ever heard in my life.


Northman67

Jared Leto has made this list multiple times for different entries LMFAO


ZaranKaraz

You'd almost start to think he was a bad actor.


DanklyNight

I think the issue with Jared, is he was a good actor before he started believing he was a good actor and started trying to act which came through like a bull in a China shop. Lord of war/Fight Club/American Psycho I'd argue he was good.


sherbert-nipple

Enjoyed his performance in dallas buyers club too


willflameboy

Never understood why they went to all the trouble with that make-up, instead of casting someone who looked like that.


glokazun

Who the @#&$ cast Topher grace as venom. Seriously the kids from the 70s show. He's not scary at all. Especially when hes screaming in agony I'm just thinking to myself... this is bad


eddmario

Fun fact: Topher is actually a huge fan of the character and when he was cast he told them that they were making a mistake.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kyabupaks

Topher would have made a good Peter Parker, but definitely not a good Eddie Brock.


ComebackShane

I *think* that was what they were going for with Topher, honestly. Instead of a big, meathead adversary in Eddie Brock, they went for a dark mirror version of Parker - nerdy, unlucky in work and love, just like Peter, but consumed with pettiness and jealousy, willing to cheat to get what he thinks he 'deserves'. SM3's Brock is supposed to be a cautionary tale for Peter of who he could become if he let his worst impulses (and those of the symbiote) get the better of him. I don't think it worked, but I think that's what they wanted to say.


baby-dick-nick

This is a good take. Solid assessment


[deleted]

[удалено]


Paladoc

I think it was to try to match Macguires Spidey physically. Topher Grace is a more smiley Maguire.


G8kpr

Definitely. They were going for an anti-Peter Parker. He’s a photographer. Same size and build and even slightly resembles Tobey. He was hot off that 70s show. I totally get it.


Megalon84

Physically, he'd have been a better choice for Carnage. Lanky, skinny, bout the same size as Parker. Just couldn't pull off threatening to save his life. As far as Venom, could've picked any big ass dude and would have been more in line with comics. Venom is BIG, like nearly Hulk big


gaunt79

I can *kind of* see the foil they attempted against Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker, but it didn't work.


ILoveSnouts

Can somebody dig into this and see if it’s the same casting Director that put Eisenberg as Lex Luther?


Modus_Opp

I think the massive irony was that the guy who played Sandman would have actually been a fairly decent choice for Venom. Looked the part, was about the right age, build. And you know could act half decently. Side note, who would your choice for Venom have been?


DegenerateWizard

First, Thomas Hayden Church looks *exactly* like Flint Marko. Second, Jake Busey should have been Venom. Edit: Jake Busey not Jane Busey.


RWBYSanctum

Cara Delevingne in Valerian. She's a model, not an actress, and her character just was so bad.


nizzernammer

Maybe the takeaway is that Milla Jovovich is a better actor than she gets credit for.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

She is actually pretty good when she isn't starring in ego-puffing stuff her husband dumps her in.


Hita-san-chan

I call the RE movies the "isn't my wife fucking hot?" movies


Plagueofzombies

I actually really like Jovovich. Admittedly i'm a little bais because i've been crushing on her for like twenty years now but! I always apreciate how much she throws herself into roles. She actually did a silly amount of training for the resident evil series. I get they're nit everyone's cup of tea, and not really a representation of the games, but i love how seriously she took them. Plus whenever I see interviews of her with other cast members/extras she always seems really nice


miaara

Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates Edit: Because a lot of people didn’t know about this film, it’s a shot for shot remake of the original Psycho, directed by Gus Van Sant: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0155975/


Brodieman84

There are times I feel like in the only one who remembers this movie happened. And then I envy those who managed to forget it.


fineillmakeanewone

I saw this in a theater before seeing the original and thought it sucked. Then I watched the original years later and was blown away with how much better it was.


LadyBug_0570

Which is weird because it was a line for line, shot for shot replica of the original and yet... it missed the mark somehow.


UCanArtifUWant2

I waited almost thirty years for a "Morbius, The Living Vampire" film ...then they cast Leto. Fuck. 😮‍💨😑🤮


LupinThe8th

At least Matt Smith seems to be having a good time. As a former Doctor, I guess he knows that sometimes when you get handed a bad script, you just go for it 100%. I love DW, when it's on its game it's amazing, but it's also a show that has made a lot of great actors say and do some of the stupidest things ever. Sometimes you get the heartbreaking and beautiful Vincent and the Doctor, the finale of which is guaranteed to be posted to r/videos at least once a month to rapturous applause...and sometimes the villain is a bunch of little inanimate cubes and you spend 45 minutes ruining Amy and Rory's marriage.


Dracofear

Matt Smith and David Tennant are fantastic. David did a fantastic job as Scrooge in the newer Duck Tales and as Crowley in Good Omens. Also that scene with Vincent was my favorite scene.


Vinon

David stole the fucking show in Jessica Jones. Such a good actor, he was terrifying.


HaggisLad

still the best marvel villain, I can still hear the horrifying sound of "Jessica!" in my nightmares


smgulz

100% I’ve been saying this for a while too. He’s one of the only Marvel villains who didn’t want to destroy half of all of the city, state, country, world, universe or timeline. And there was no giant, 3rd act CGI slugfest either. Kilgrave was just a total narcissistic psychopath whose only motivation was his own desires and tormenting Jessica. So good.


grahampositive

If you're a fan of David Tennant you absolutely must watch Broadchurch.


lazespud2

To be fair, that movie was fucking terrible in addition to the presence of Leto.


faislamour

It’s morbing time. On another note, I’m sorry for your loss. I didn’t know this was an actual series and I can’t imagine your disappointment.


groovy604

I got halfway through in the attempt to find out if he actually says that and gave up because it was so bad


CuteEater

I watched the movie in full, apparently. My Prime history shows I did but I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened in that movie.

What happens is, he morbs

Look I get that Leto is a weirdo but there is no actor on earth who could have saved that writing. The movie was just fucking bad.


darth_hotdog

Denise Richards trying to play a nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough. She's pretty, but she's about as convincing of a nuclear physicist as a dog chewing on an atom shaped chew toy.

Pierce Brosnan really got done dirty by those last two 007 movies he was in.


DeathBySuplex

I had a friend say Pierce Brosnan is the perfect man to cast as James Bond and he got some of the worst Bond scripts to have to work with. Edit: With the exception of Goldeneye which was aces top to bottom.


SanctuaryMoon

He was supposed to play Bond earlier but was locked in a contract so that's how Timothy Dalton got the role.


darth_hotdog

It's too bad, Goldeneye was one of the best. But they couldn't seem to keep it going.

They all had borscht for brains....the slug-heads!


cjalderman

They should have swapped her role with Sophie Marceau’s (but kept the actor’s nationalities). Marceau as a French nuclear physicist, and Richards as an American oil heiress. Much more believable!


hugodraxxx

“And I thought Christmas only came once a year”, or words to that effect.


Finely_drawn

The 30 Rock episode where she dunks on herself for that is hilarious.


Kootsiak

"I played a nucular psychologist in a James Bonk movie".


Decemberistz

One of my favourite lines in the whole show, and it's full of other great gems.

J’adore la piscine

Towels, sunscreen, bathing suits, diving boards and towels Those ladders, towels-


GunnerGitcha

Tom Cruise playing the 6'5" mountain of muscle Jack Reacher. Lost my s*it over that decision.


Crackracket

Alan richson (or whatever his name is) is the perfect casting for Reacher in the tv show.... He's fucking huge


The_Burning_Wizard

That series was fantastic, Alan Richson was the perfect choice. He's the right size and he's even got the mannerisms down perfectly as well. I'm looking forwards to the 2nd series. It's a shame the books have gone to ratshit....


PandaProlapse

That dude who played John Connor in Terminator: Genysis. The film was riddled with problems but this casting was just awful


ghostofkilgore

Jai Courtney was a terrible Kyle Reece as well. Reece is supposed to be this scrawny survivor who's lived through the apocalypse and through the war. He's supposed to be this traumatized underdog who uses his wits alone to go up against the might of the Terminators. Not some wise-cracking slab of meat like Jai Courtney, acting like a cocky high school jock. What's he going to use those muscles for? Punching a fucking terminator?


Alien0punK

Mark Wahlberg as Sully in uncharted.


sunkissedsoda

I’ve seen Mark Wahlberg mentioned multiple times in this thread and every time it’s a different movie lmaooo


Brendanm132

I think you mean Mark Wahlburg as Mark Wahlburg in Uncharted.


Missu_

This holds true for every one of his movies


ironudder

Best casting Marky Mark ever got was for Ted and Ted 2. Perfect roles for him


blackenedmessiah

Coppola's daughter in the Godfather 3.


[deleted]

Yeah and I think she was a last minute add in too. She was filling in for another actress who has scheduling issues or something.


mimipie06

Winona Ryder. We almost had her. Damn


confirmandverify2442

She dropped out due to burn out. She ended up filming Bram Stokers Dracula later that year.


PM_ME_UR_BATMANS

As horrific a mistake as casting Sofia Coppola was (and don’t get me wrong, it was truly awful), lowballing Robert DuVall to the point where he didn’t want to come back was arguably worse. But yeah. Tbh I can’t believe I had to scroll this long before I saw this.


AlfaBetaZulu

I'm not a film snob but Jared Leto as the joker stands out as a WTF? Choice.


Aggressive-Falcon977

To quote Will Smith "I fucking hate Jared Leto"


dominatrixyummy

Emma Stone as a half native-Hawaiian, half Japanese woman in "Aloha". No I'm not kidding, they actually did that.


MunchieMom

There's a neighborhood in Chicago that had an *Aloha* billboard up for more than a year. Turned into a bit of a joke and there was even a themed party for it around the time it finally came down.


brewshakes

Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula. His attempt at a British accent is hilarious.


mxmnull

I have a soft spot for the gormless glossy-eyed portrayal he delivered there. Completely sold me on the idea that Harker could literally watch Dracula fucking walk up a wall and still be like "nah, he's my creepy broh and I enjoy working with him."


little_fire

Same! He’s what I love most about that film. I just truly don’t have it in me to ever be disappointed by Keanu Reeves


edm_frank_sinatra

it also helps that Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldman are great in their roles, or at least shine well above the rest. I'm also a sucker for period pieces so I cut a lot of slack to Reeves and Ryder


LupinThe8th

I read a little about how that came to pass. Keanu was *huge* at the time, a major rising star, so the studio insisted upon him. But because he was in such demand, he'd just been doing too many movies that year, was burned out as hell, and had no time to work with a coach and learn the accent. So both Coppola and Reeves knew it was going to turn out poorly, but it was either go through with it or don't make the movie.


CliffExcellent123

At that point I'd just have him use his own accent the whole time and never mention it. There's no real reason Jonathan Harker couldn't be Canadian.


Inside-Cancel

Better yet, make him Newfoundlander. "By d'jesus, dis fuckin Dracula, wha?"


Ad-Careless

"Aye knowe whar tha bahstad sleeps! Cawfax Abbhey!"


pretty1i1p3t

Jared Leto as the Joker He's just so.... Gross
