This is true. Denzel is a great actor but he has little or no range....
Nonetheless, Denzel would be sullying his rep. if he was in garbage like F&F.
So they really thought they could get Denzel to take a non lead role in Fast & Furious

I agree...but I would rather him do a fast and Furious......than a "safe house"...or those two movies i mentioned...at least I know they will do alot of the writing around him

Of course he has range...The movies that he gets casted for are all alpha male roles which he pulls off.....
Malcolm X is a clear indicator of this......
Tom Cruise(who is great) is typecasted the same way as of late...That is the Hollywood way now
Execs aint knockin on Depp's door unless they want him to play some eccentric weirdo.
But if you look at these guys entire body of work, its obvious they have range
And the comparison to Daniel Day Lewis isn't fair because his films don't have to "make money"
He is afforded the luxury of being a thespian and choosing a varying array of roles to show off his "range"
Let me see him when the pressure is on and he has to deliver on a Hollywood flick(Lincoln was almost an HBO original movie)..Then get at me....
The gangs of NY put him on and he was cold-blooded in There will be Blood......Lincoln was grossly overrated and only caught a Buzz cause Spielberg was attached to it...
All his films are Oscar Bait on purpose......and casual fans are dikk riding him because the critics say he is great....
Let me see what he does if he has to do a true "Hollywood" flick in contemporary times
Nine sucked ass and the only other film that he righteously stood out in was In the Name of the Fater......Daniel Day Lewis is a fine actor, but he is not the gold standard by any means....
Anybody is great if no one is watching....
hahahahaha anybody can be great if nobody is watching? wtf kind of pretentious nonsense is that?
lincoln made 275 million. gangs of new york made 193 million. there will be blood made 73 million......i could go on.
ddl picks and chooses his roles because he cares about the art.
Nobody is forcing denzel to choose safe, easy roles. if denzel cared he could cut his salary and make films for art. instead hes in 2 guns and a bunch of flashy,empty tony scott films. ddl would laugh at the script for unstoppable.

Rounding out the top five: Denzel Washington. For every $1 Washington was paid his films earned an average $4.25. Looking at the box office of Washington’s last three films it might be hard to see how he made our list. Unstoppable earned $167 million and The Book of Eli earned $157 million. But Washington is an actor who can command as much as $20 million per film. At those prices, movies have to do much better than Washington’s have at the box office in order for him to offer a solid return on investment.

nikkas in here talking about Lincoln. It was about abraham fukking lincoln. you also have to look at when it came out. It came out during the thanksgiving/christmas holiday block. and it had an Oscar buzz.
You keep throwing out these box office figures without adjusting for other factors like production budget marketing and promotion. Not to mention other expenses. Most companies are happy just to break even. Which is why they go to actors like Denzel Washington.

Are you recovering from a stroke?
Outside of Lincoln, Lewis' movies are losers or barely broke even. And on top of that, he's only done like 5 movies in the last 15 years......
Aint no Box Office Studio execs knocking down his door to turn a profit........FOH
man just admit you hate denzel
Number one, what does how much profit a movie makes have to do with what we were discussing? You said nobody is watching ddl movies. I proved you wrong so now the conversation is there profits? fukk outta here idiot.
Secondly, ghandi made 52 mill on a 13 mill budget.room with a view made 20 mill on a 3 mill budget.my left foot made 14 mill on a 600,00 thousand budget. last of the mohicans made 75 million on a 40 million budget.in the name of the father made 65 mill on a 13 mill budget.gangs of new york made 193 mill on a 97 mill budget. there will be blood made 76 mill on a 25 mill budget.
so tell me again how nobody sees ddl movies and they all lose money
daniel day lewis doesnt have to make a film in hollywood contemporary terms because his films make money and he cares about acting, not a paycheck.
Nobody is forcing denzel to make shytty movies with safe easy roles. He could be ddl if he wanted. But apparently making money is more important so he makes movies with ryan reynolds and mark wahlberg.
The thought of ddl stooping so low to make a buddy cop flick with marky mark has me
