Ludicrous/ comical casting in a film


JudyJudyJudy

Recommended Posts

There’s been loads . I watched “ a passage to India “ 1985 the other night . A very good film which was spoiled by the great Alec Guinness blacking up

as an Indian . Surely that was completely inappropriate for even then ? He was a great friend of the director so probably got the part due to this 

 He looks like he should be in “ it ain’t half hot mum “ 😂

Acting involves pretending you are someone you aren’t. There’s nothing wrong with applying a wee bit colour to someone’s skin. 

I know that Jim but sometimes it can look ludicrous . Can’t take them seriously 😂

Tom Cruise (4' 2") playing Jack Reacher (6' 5")

 

Keanu Reeves playing John Constantine (who, in the source material, is more like Billy Idol)

 

Steve Martine as Inspector Clouseau

 

John Wayne as Genghis Khan

 

Kirsten Stewart in anything she's ever been in

Jolie as Farrell's mum in Alexander was a strange casting call.  She was a sexbomb at the time...

And no that much older than him

I had always meant to watch it but only got around to it last week . It was excellent . Great film about the British colonial past and how it treated those countries .   Yes Sofia was panned , she was a laughing stock but redeemed herself with her directing skills

The casting I really hated was Christopher Lambert playing the bandit Turi Giuliano in Mario Puzo’s The Sicilian. It’s a great book and I would love to see the movie remade.

I'd have to say Christophe Waltz in Spectre. He just wasn't scary

I thought he was good in it
