Kinda like the Hunger Games series, huh? Sure, J-Law is big now, but like what is Josh Hutcherson up to and the other guy who was in the love triangle?

That other guy just played the lead in the Independence Day sequel. They thought he would be a good substitute for Will Smith. Laugh's on them.

He was in it? Are you sure? I don't remember that.

the double toasted review of miss peregrine comparing sam jackson's performance to his performance in THE SPIRIT is the first thing i've heard that gets me excited to see it.

He's also in the Dressmaker with Kate Winslet that just came out here.  (It was pretty much made for and released in Australia, where he is from.)   I don't know if he has more work in the pipeline, though.  Hutcherson has been in / is in some films I can't call to mind, and I think he just had a tv series picked up.

 

I'd frankly rather have Liam Hemsworth than Edgarton opposite Jennifer Lawrence in her upcoming Red Sparrow, though, particularly if they plan to turn it into a franchise using the three books in the series.  I understand Edgarton is a fantastic actor, but if they are going for her Hunger Games following, they should remember that they are used to having eye candy along with Jen.

 

I mean Bogart always had pretty female leads..... 

 

Anyhow, I don't think those actors are as bad as some here do.

Reminds me of one of those YouTube critics reviewing Suicide Squad and he said he wasn't sure if it was Jai Courtney or Sam Worthington. /deceased.

Man, for as big as the Twilight movies were, they seem to have done no favors for any of its young stars (aside from KStew, duh), did they? Kellan Lutz was quickly sent from big Hollywood movies to the DTV market overnight, and Lautner is now doing Adam Sandler movies and Ryan Murphy shows. And I can't even tell you what anyone else is up to. The only people continuing to get consistent work from that franchise are the ones who were already established beforehand (KStew, Dakota Fanning, and all of the major grown up players).

Just like Star wars. Ford, Hamill and Fisher didn't get anywhere after all that exposure.

Happens with franchise actors

Miss Peregrine is Tim Burton back on form, I do wonder how it would have fared had it been released at Christmas

lol wut? Ford went on to become one of the biggest stars ever.

[Rman823]

I'm still curious why Miss Peregrine received a PG-13 rating considering it was obviously marketed to kids.

I'm sorry did you just say HARRISON FUCKING FORD got nowhere after being in Star Wars?

[robertman2]

And Hamill is one of the best professional voice actors ever!

I don't expect less from Burton. Does it still feel like a kids movie though ?

It's the MPAA, don't try to make sense of it's rating.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Dang, I was expecting Peregine to flop and Deepwater to succeed, dang.

[That One Girl]

YES!  FINALLY, A FILM THAT DIDNT FLOP THAT I WAS STANNING FOR.

 

@MrPink Sucks to be you still with the curse.  If Girl on the Train hits 30M next week, it's gone and you're still with it.  AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA  

[The Panda]

September has surprisingly done pretty well.  3 30m openers is great for this month.

I'm keeping expectations in check with 25 million for Girl on the Train. If it were to get above 30.
