The Toymaker Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 bk03, I don't think you understand what A-list means. Granted, there are people that are on the verge, like Wahlberg and Bale, but to be A-list is a very special place to be, and sorry but they're just not quite there yet.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Wahlberg makes Norton a supporting role in 2003. He is one of top paid 70s actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not A-list anymore, but certainly 1 great performance and film away from getting back in. Speaking of which: Sony’s Captain Phillips, directed by Paul Greengrass, in which Hanks plays the American cargo skipper who ransomed himself to free his crew from Somali pirates. He's also prepping for In the Garden of Beasts, a film from The Artist director Michel Hazanavicius, in which Hanks both produces and stars as a mild-mannered college professor who finds himself appointed America’s ambassador to Germany just as the Nazis are consolidating their power and moving against Europe.These two sound FANTASTIC!

fishstick Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Ok, Wahlberg is an A-lister.He should be because he`s a successful producer, and they want him as an actor for both prestige and commercial and he has boxoffice clouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Walhberg and Tatum are A-lists. Are you fucking kidding me? Tatum sold 3 MOVIES in his name this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Precisely, Tatum is just hot this year. Not A-list. Last time I checked "flash in the pan" did not equate to "A-list". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 A List never really lasts.You stay A list 5 years on average, 10 if you are lucky and then there are guys like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, super superstars who defy any reason or logic.Even a guy like Tom Hanks lost it.A list is a lot more difficult for women and it lasts less longer.

The Toymaker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yes, it doesn't always last very long, but it certainly takes longer than Tatum has been in the business to earn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Precisely, Tatum is just hot this year. Not A-list. Last time I checked "flash in the pan" did not equate to "A-list". Tatum is definitely more than flash in the pan. FitP would be types like Jennifer Beals (one-hit wonder), Borleando(lucked out with a built-in fandom movie, a depp movie and a Pit movie but crashlanded as soon as he tried to fly solo and didn`t pick himself up since). he`s not A-list yet,though.

chasmmi Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Maybe we need to have an A+ list.Because you can't compare somebody like Will Smith who can make exactly 0 films in two years and remain in the A list compared to somebody like Tatum who is huge now, but if he took a multi year break tomorrow would be having to start from scratch upon his return again.Actors such as Schwarzenegger, Smith, Hanks, Cruise, Pitt can essentially retire from acting for 5 years and still be a smash hit draw on their comeback film.Other A listers who are big in the box office right now and could command huge salaries for years to come will still never fill that bracket. Even a Bale or Wahlberg would need a film or two in a supporting role to bring themselves back into the headliner role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenithtim Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) So what do you think, after IM3's opening, do you think that RDJ is the top of the A-list in Hollywood? I mean he has 6 500M+ WW hits in the last 6 years, 8 100M+ DOM in the last 6 years as well, 4 300M+ in the last few years. Yes, I know that in most of them he's playing Tony Stark or Sherlock, but it is pretty clear that he is one of the main reason why Avengers and the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe is having such a HUGE success. And also, if he chooses to return for Iron Man 4/ Avengers 2, he might become the first actor to be paid 100M+ for a single movie. That's impressive considering his situation a few years ago.

fishstick Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Theer`s no top of A List. A List really means actors who are most in demand for prestige and commercial projects. If RDJ is tied up with franchises and thus known to be unavaliable than he isn`t top of every director`s list. Bradley Cooper has entered it or has come very close. A List really isn`t only about how much money someone`s movies make but what big names and how many of them want to work with an actor/actress. Pretty much, if you want to know what actors are sure-fire A List go down their previous decade filmography and see who they headlined movies for.
