That shiit made no sense to me either. The budget was $100 million but, one of the main actors only got paid $60,000 :patrice:

You guys understand Jonah is filthy rich right? He probably gonna see 8 million upfront off The 21 Jumpstreet sequel. plus he's producing the movie, so he'll get back end. Jonah gets at least 5 million for most all his movies. He took this job as a career advancement. Wolf of Wall street upped his profile as a serious actor, and will get other directors after him for big roles in serious movies. Not just comedy. Working with Scorsese does wonders for your career. He can afford to take the hit on this movie. Because it sets him up big time for bigger future paydays. And he will get looked at for big roles in serious movies with other A list directors.

There are certain directors that you drop everything for when they call. Scorsese is one of them. You don't hold out for more money in a Scorcese film unless you an idiot.

Actors like Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and others are acting in Terrance Malick movies for peanuts. They probably getting scale, which is like 60 - 100 grand just to be in Malick's movies. Why? Because it's the prestige factor. And it ups your profile.

Can yall nikkas please stop writing this over and over? We understand the logic behind his decision. It still doesn't absolve the studio from being greedy soulless muthafukkas. The studio heads may think Jonah Hill isn't a serious actor but, he's still relatively high profile to the movie going audience. People know who he is. $60,000 is disgusting. If they threw $300,000 to $400,000 at him, thats respectable, then you can say, "he took a paycut to better his career". $60,000 isn't a paycut. Its disrespectful as hell. Thats the salary you pay that nikka who starred in Napoleon Dynamite.

i get his predicament and his logic..

but they couldn't break him off at least 6 figures?

they gave him the LEGAL MINIMUM?:bryan:

his agent must be :why: every time he accepts a serious role.

get your client a significant role in a scorcese movie to be paid and be paid 3,000 :lolbron:

if Jonah was black (or gay), they could start a fuss over this.

pretty boy Leo, OG Marty, and the studio execs get paid tens of millions while fat boy gets paid like he working the graveyard shift at Wal-Mart.



(of course I'm just clowning)

when you're fat and unattractive thats what yo....ok ok that's mean :troll:

nah but seriously, Jonah is a very intelligent jew. He knew it was an investment. Oscar nominee, Scorsese , DiCaprio, all under your belt in one film? you're pretty much GOLD after that. From here on out, his movies will all be 2 mill+ min. Plus the audience he got from that. How many people saw that compared to Super Bad? His face is now officially recognized.

That's what you call a smart ass investment. take note, sacrifice can be beneficial.
