Idris Elba....

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Gimme a break. Will Smith chooses to make those films. He can make any movie he wants. He pushed through that awful after earth film from the ground up by choice.


Will Smith is more interested in his "brand" then anything else.

yup. he could've been in django, an actual good movie, but decided to try to big up his son in that trash. His son ain't never gonna be shyt

 

[head shots101]

beasts of no nation might be a banger

what elba needs is to co star with a a lister to take the next step

Info please

You guys seem to forget that he's black. Even when will smith was the biggest star he was still only doing dumb summer blockbusters.

He's not exactly swimming in first rate scripts.

That's only because that's what Will Smith wanted to do.

He's talked about his formula for picking movies and how it involves picking the films that will make the most money.

i'm not..maybe its just a coincidence he picks worse movies when he uses his accent?

I dunno man.. I read it like you didnt wonna hear no other accent than US english..

 

[Food Mane]

I think some English actors really enjoy being famous in London more than being famous in LA. It hurts their careers.

 

[Apollo Kid]

Why isn't he James Bond yet?

 

[Jazzy B.]

He's doing alright, still kinda seen as a TV actor. He needs a real breakout performance in a film, if he ever wants to be an A-Lister though .

 

[MartyMcFly]

Why isn't he James Bond yet?

Cause Daniel Craig re-upped for two more flicks and has made the most successful entry to date and two others that are among the most successful to date

 

[SlowPaceThrillah]

Yall should check out "Ultraviolet", it's a one season british police procedural with vampires he filmed in the mid 90s, it's surprisingly piff apart from the soundtrack

I was pretty excited when I heard Idris was cast in King Arthur. He was good in RocknRolla (another Guy Ritchie film). He is a good actor that just needs to find his niche or better yet find a good director to team up with. That's what a lot of great actors do to get recognition.

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

He's had a decent career.. but I don't think Hollywood knows how to measure dude... he's lead actor material... bue he's constantly cast in supporting roles in major films and the few lead roles he's cast in he's miscast (He just didn't fit as Mandela IMO....).

Info please

Not too many details... From what I've heard the synopsis sounds somewhat similar to the movie Johnny Mad Dog (I recommend watching it if you can find it)... about an unknown African country engulfed in cival war; That revolves around a rebel army child soldier and his band of kids he commands as they slaughter and pillage their way through the country. And that it's being directed by the cat that directed season 1 of True Detective and Sin Nombre.. Cary Fukunaga.
