You might be right or they realized since it's been 14 years they needed a name but even then, he was cast before guardians came out before he was a name. he was filming guardians while talking to the director for this. Again homie, I'm not saying he isn't a star but I'm also not saying he's this huge draw who can't lose right now. I'm looking at both sides of the argument and trying to find the middle because there are parts of the argument I agree with you on and parts I disagree with you on. The attraction for the jurassic park movies has never been the cast..ever. What hurt Jurassic Park 3 was the bad word of mouth, not the fact that it didn't have a star attached to it. A bad movie is a bad movie regardless of what kind of window dressing you want to put on it and that's what happened there. And you could argue the same thing for the lost world (most people do, I still don't) so in the minds of most, there is only one good movie in the franchise. I think a jurassic park movie that looks fun and with a sense of thrill and adventure can easily be sold. Jurassic Park 3 was none of those things and again, it's a bad movie. But you're mostly selling this movie to the nostalgia crowd and kids and I'm sorry man but as a kid, I didn't give a damn about a star. I begged moms to see this because it had dinosaurs, not because it had Sam Neil and Goldbum. I went to see the 2nd because I loved the first and again, it had dinosaurs, not because it had Goldblum and Julliane Moore
This isn't a "like it or not" argument for me because as I've said countless times, I like dude a lot and outside of delivery man, I've seen everything he's done in the past few years and liked it but I do feel like
@FlyRy has a bit of a point along with anyone else who's taking that stance. Doesn't mean anyone is hating and I'm definitely not, it's just looking at the situation as a whole rather than taking one part of it and magnifying that one part. Not everything is a black and white argument
