#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think those actors who commited to LOTR were all very brave. We take it for granted now. But it could have easily have turned out to be a total disaster and a humiliating waste of years of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I liked The Lovely Bones well enough. Not amazing or groundbreaking, but it was put together well and tugged at my heartstrings a bit.I think it got some sort of acting nomination, too - maybe Stanley Tucci?

Incanus 5,716 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Christopher Plummer would have made a fine Gandalf. But I understand that we didn't want to be committed to a multi-year enterprise like that. And now he has paid the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,696 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Most people didn't seem to like The Lovely Bones, although I think a lot of that is in comparison to the book.I really liked it - for all its flaws if was effective for me in telling the central tragic story.

Barnald 365 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Lying fucker. I bet he just auditioned for it and didn't get it. Then again, Stuart Townsend is a pretty shit actor so it's possible (and this is coming from someone who actually likes Cage - obviously he would have been completely miscast here).
