Hollywood is so pitifully lacking any shred of risk taking or creativity.
But the former wrestler The Rock is a totally versatile and talented actor tho! /s
People write roles for him to be that way
People aren’t paying for him to be someone else
Nothing about his acting ability
I ain't paying shit to see a brick wall make funny faces but y'all do you, I just don't get it. Moana is the only movie I can think of that his lack of acting ability wasn't distracting to me. There are plenty of people I like as people but who can't act and I wouldn't pay to see them ... Try
I was talking about producers
The Other Guys?
Haha so true! I only actually liked him in that movie with marky mark where he’s a coked out body builder
Watch Poor Things if you want risk taking and creativity. It was weird in the best of ways, imo.
The Lighthouse, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Infinity Pool, Beau is Afraid, the animated Spiderverse Movies, Jordan Peele's movies, Talk to Me, and definitely more I haven't seen.
There's risk taking and creativity, but they're much harder to find because they don't get the advertising budget of the standard boring action-adventure bull crap.
Add "The Northman" to this list. It's amazing and Alexander Skarsgard is fantastic.
The Lighthouse was awesome. Love me some crazy Willem
Dune 2 sticks out like a lighthouse in a sea of mediocrity. One of the greatest, and boldest movies I have ever seen.
You mean the third adaptation of a very popular book? Not exactly wildly original.
Still a great movie though.
Not original exactly, but the 1984 version was critically panned, and most people don't even know the scifi miniseries even exists. It was said by most people to be unadaptable after those attempts. Taking the step to out that kind of money behind it is pretty bold, and it's original in that there's nothing else like it in the cinema right now, or in a while.
How is it bold?
I think he meant to say baldest instead of boldest.
Really leans into the fan fiction aspect of the original books.
Bold? Nah
Because adapting a book that is considered unadaptable isn't bold
This version of it is by far the best and really does the book justice, but "bold" is not a word I would use to describe the third adaptation of the same classic piece of literature.
Money does that. The more it costs - the more safe it has to be.
