John Marston Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Why did Carey Mulligan have her own poster for The Great Gatsby? It's like they think she will help sell the movie. all the main actors did. Including Joel Edgerton and Elizabeth Debicki. Neither of who are household name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Good God. I didn't there were people that actually hate Carey Mulligan. I like her though. She's a harless little actress. I don't mind watching her in movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babz06 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Today the ladies candidates would be Amber Heard- she cant act and has not opened a box office hit. Yet is the face of Guess, invited to major events and her face on the cover of magazines. The only reason she is barely relevant is because she dates Johnny Depp. Her agent must be great b/c there is no rhyme or reason for her to keep co-starring in studio movies. No one cares. Shailene Woodley- She had a role in Spiderman, The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent, and other indie projects for industry cred. Hollywood is clearly trying to make her into the next Jennifer Lawrence/Kirsten Stewart, let's see if it works. Olivia Wilde-Has not been in a box office hit or hasn't ever been the reason for it. Yet i consistently see her name and face pop up in magazines, events and prestige projects. (Her and Rush to name a few.) Margot Robbie- After the Wolf of Wall Street she just booked a bunch of high profile projects.(Focus with Will Smith, Tarzan) Im sure more projects are coming. Hollywood is poised to try and make her a new star. Chloe Moretz- Hollywood is trying to make her a teen star but she has no real hits to speak of. Carrie was a blimp on the radar, Kick-ass 2 disappointed and Let Me In never registered. Any other films that shes done were supporting roles. Atleast Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus had a Disney fanbase. "If I Stay" is gonna prove her worth, because any success that The Equalizer gets is solely b/c of Denzel Washington. In the past its been Jessica Beil and Jessica Alba, but both have fallen off the map. Rightly so. For the men, the list is verrrrrrrrrrrry long but i dont have the time or space to list them. But here are the main suspects. Ryan Reynolds- Hollywood is still trying it with this guy but the audience will never catch on. He's not good looking or charismatic enough. Chris Pine- Star Trek had success because of the name brand not him. Jack Ryan proves that no one is here for him, yet he still has projects lined up. Chris Hemsworth- the Marvel brand name is bigger than him. Hollywood will continue trying to cast him in lead projects but the audience wont care. Hes just not a good actor. Chris Evans- Another case of the Marvel brand name being bigger than the lead. I bet no one even knows who he is, not a household name at all. All three Chris's are interchangeable as far as im concerned. Chris Pratt- Hollywood is in the process of trying to make it happen for him. But it will be another case of Marvel brand being bigger than the actual star. Same with Jurassic World. Taylor Kistch- for a spell they were really trying it with him. I dont think so anymore but i was baffled when it was happening. Alex Pettyfer- they are still in the process of trying to make him happen but its never going to happen. Zac Efron he is not. Colin Farrell- I thought HW was done with him but apparently not. Winter's Tale and Total Recall prove that no one really cares. In the past it has been Orlando Bloom, Ryan Gosling and Josh Harnett.

lilmac Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's difficult for me to answer the opening post question and include actors who you like? I imagine most of the choices people will make are actors/actresses they also hate. If you like them, then Hollywood isn't forcing them onto the public. You welcome them.

dashrendar44 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Alex Pettyfer- they are still in the process of trying to make him happen but its never going to happen. Zac Efron he is not. Because Zac Efron is a huge superstar nowadays? I mean I know he's the former hearthrob from High School Musical but that was like 4 years ago, wasn't it? There has been other fangirl trends since (Twilight, One Direction), my perception is that he kinda fell off the map and he's not heading into being the new DiCaprio (successfully switching from teen-idol flicks into more serious roles) like people wanted him to be. (But I don't really follow his career's path maybe he is still bankable and onto something bigger, I don't know).

Alex Petyfer is just a dick though, such an arrogant asshole who needs a punch in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acetabulum7 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 How about that girl Ziyi Zhang that was in Crouching Tiger and practically EVERY F'ING MOVIE WITH AN ASIAN FEMALE FOR 10 YEARS. URRRRGHH!!!! Oh, and Sam Worthington was in like everything for a few years and no one cared, so he disappeared into oblivion but lucked out with the lead role in Avatar. And still no one cares about him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Shailene Woodley She is trying very hard to be Jlaw 2.0. Time will tell if she can pull it off. We are going to see her a lot in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 No way. You have to be as hot as JLaw and she doesnt come close. I dislike looking at her directly. She rubs me off the wrong way for some reason. She is trying very hard to be Jlaw 2.0.Time will tell if she can pull it off.We are going to see her a lot in 2014.

Sorry, A for effort on this list, but it's a laughable one. You're basically saying any actress not named JLaw is being shoved down our throats. Who do you expect them to put in their films if not for these people? I'll hang up and listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 babz's list is flawed (aside from Amber Heard) because he's talking about actresses who are getting lots of projects RIGHT NOW. The thread is supposed to be about past attempts that failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Tom Hanks. His films only done well because they were good films, no - one cares about him. Cast Away only done well because of the scenery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
