You and I have very different definitions of A list actors. The only A list actors in that movie were the suicide squad members that survived, margot robbie, john cena and idris elba. Also none of the people that died were in promotional material (like this guy suggested) which would add even more $$$ to the budget
-
I sure hope lots of the cast die unceremoniously at regular intervals throughout the film. Honestly would be great if it has a lot of big names in it and they just keep getting killed as the film goes on. By the end none of the original cast remain and everyone just acts like it’s always been like that
-
I’m worried about this movie. I don’t think Hollywood has it in them to make satire without being all self-referential. They have to have a guy beating me over the head with the message because they think I’m too stupid to figure it out. Helldivers only works if you play it straight.
-
Did anyone see Alan Ritchson in War Machine? He's so bulky he has trouble moving properly, and casting him as an actual infantryman with his current physique in anything is just ridiculous. Which is exactly what is expected from a Helldivers movie needs, so yeah... Put him in, coach.
-
I'm here for it, tbh. I hope this guy winds up doing something with Henry Caville for WH40k. He's a good actor, and I'm glad he's a big goofy left-wing nerd, too. Watching him piss off Conservatives by being (remotely educated) is a blast.
-
Gave up halfway through, I haven't seen a show that American and formulaic in ages. Couldn't get past the terrible characters and writing. Action and acting was decent however.
-
It’s pretty blatantly starship troopers though. I’m sure there’s like a thousand “starship troopers?” messages in the chat during the original trailer reveal
-
Still waiting for the announcement of the Wolfenstein movie with him playing BJ blaskowitz, it's too perfect to be more than a matter of time
-
Same with The Man From Uncle. Fantastic movie, did poorly. Didn't help that Armie had all that stuff that came out about him...
-
No no no, the final diver to make it out alone with the samples takes his helmet off in the pelican and it’s Daniel Radcliffe.
-
This is how Helldivers the movie was likely pitched. The movie culture is all a Mad Libs of “it’s [precedent] with [twist]”
-
Pmuch, imagine hemsworth, evans and downey help a seaf as they appear avengers style only to get crushed by a stratagem.
-
Daniel Radcliffe. He’s the one who makes it to the end. Pulls his helmet off in the pelican and it’s the big reveal.
-
“Remember: we’re here for one thing, and one thing on-“ cue explosion “Who were those guys?” “Doesn’t matter.”
-
Dudes in everything.. and he’s just another Jason Statham.. Literally the same character in everything.
-
It's like when someone says "that word sounds made up." I always respond with "all words are made up."
-
James Gunns Suicide Squad did exactly that. We all thought Pete Davidson was gonna be a character.
-
The only good starship troopers IP to come out in the last 30 years was the mod for Squad
-
The thing is, I don’t really mind the guy, but it seems like he’s phoning in now
