Least Appropriate Casting in Films

[gar3555]

Any wrestler in any movie.

what? you can't be serious.

I present: They Live

a great scene from the movie:

Kick ass and chew bubble gum

couldn't decide between the glasses fight and the above.

Oh hell,

put on the glasses

Connery played a Lithuanian. Not a Russian. If you listen to a Lithuanian speak Russian, it kind of works in hindsight. More convincing than a Ukrainian extra playing a Russian native.

 

[Kadarin]

Gary Cherone as the lead singer of Van Halen. Oh, wait... We're still talking about movies?

 

[olds]

Tobey Maguire in Spiderman.
I just can't stand his acting, he's more annoying than the kid in Terminator 2.
Also, he seems like much too much of a wuss for that part.

And that chick spidey is supposed to have the hots for? PUHLEASE.

 

[Possessed Freak]

John Wayne as Ghengis Khan. The Conquerer

Just came in to say that.

 

[zinfamous]

i guess it doesn't come off as being facetious

yeah, I was like..."wtf man? are you serious?"

 

[RPD]

eric foreman as venom.

Or anyone in Spiderman 3 for that matter..

Don't get me wrong, I'll catch Nick Cage movies when they hit HBO to see what new low he can sink to. Wickerman is a favorite simply because of the ending. "Ooh nooooes not the beeeeeez!!"

I think he's a bit of a nutcase IRL so it's fun to watch the train wreck. He bought a cemetery plot earlier this year in New Orleans that has a big pyramid tomb on it, not making it up.

That's when I started predicting he'll be dead in the next two years, will probably OD on something. I can't take anyone serious who says he's a good actor.

 

[zinfamous]

^ is this true?

that is fucking awesome. I have even more respect for Nick Cage, now. And I always thought he was awesome.

i love how the business suit of the distant future is actually a business suit from the 80's with the collar turned up.

Lol, yep. I laughed when I saw that again.

Roger Moore in Escape From Athena

 

[Farang]

Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

 

[eits]

i'm surprised no one said diane kruger and orlando bloom from 'troy'...

this was the face that was supposed to have launched a thousand ships? seriously?

and talk about COMPLETE lack of chemistry. they were SOOOOO damn awkward together. no chemistry whatsoever.

 

[eits]

John Wayne as Ghengis Khan. The Conquerer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA hoooooly shit. this wins.

 

[CottonRabbit]

Keanu Reeves in the film adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. Shakespeare and Keanu Reeves should never mix.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

justin timberlake being cast in anything is least appropriate

I thought he was really good in the Social Network.

Lol, wow! I don't think I've ever seen a John Wayne movie and now I'm not sure I want to. D:

i had no idea greece was part of scandinavia. i guess it's time to trade my smelly cheese for smelly fish.

 

[RPD]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA hoooooly shit. this wins.

Yes wow... Who directed that or who casted him..
That'd be like casting Jackie Chan for Michael Jordon's bio.

 

[zinfamous]

Roger Moore in Escape From Athena

this reminds me:

Roger Moore as James Bond.

fucking barf...

James Caviezel portraying Jesus in Passion Of The Christ.

first: you should see the DC. awesome tit-tays.

another thing: Paris = little bitch. Bloom = little bitch.

I actually think he was PERFECT in Troy. (and completely horrible in KoH)



I was quite annoyed by that flick when I first saw it. Then watched the DC. quite different (a bit more epic, as it should be--meaning: too boring for the mouth-breathers, but *still* kinda stupid...)

The only one that rubs me the wrong way after some time is Brad Pitt. He totally phoned that one in. good casting, lazy performance.

James Caviezel portraying Jesus in Passion Of The Christ.

he's like a born-again true believer in RL. ....that's about as close as it gets, no? ...and he could "kinda" pass for middle eastern right?


(I never watched it)

 

[zinfamous]

Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

the fuck?

dude deserves an Oscar just for hanging out with HST for a month in his ranch, locked in his room and hiding under his bed lest he take a few bullets during one of his late-night drunken rages.

true story...part of his research. lol.

Bill Murray was waaaaaay worse as HST. and I love Bill Murray.

He doesn't look the part, he looks the hollywood ideal for the part. Jesus was supposedly short, dark with woolly hair with a scraggly beard. James is 6'2, not really dark and doesn't have anything close to woolly hair. In all honestly Sherman Hemsley fits the description that was in my Bible. George Jefferson would have made a much more bad ass Jesus IMHO.
