Are there really? I don't see any real stars on the horizon just replaceable pieces.
Well, I think there are. They may not be able to get $100+ million by themselves but they'll still be household names (...eventually).

There’s probably more :yeshrug:


It’s not a super drastic overhaul, and veteran actors are still good. But Hollywood is currently going through a transition period.

All these people named are currently in big franchises, we’ve yet to see them be bankable outside of a franchise.

Out of the three major stars in the original Star Wars trilogy, only Harrison became a star while Carrie and Mark could never get a non-SW hit

He's a great success story and I'm happy for him.

BUT..he's a limited actor. He thought the faux-Nigerian accent was enough to get him an Oscar nom. for Concussion, and when it didn't ,he hid behind his wife throwing darts.

He won't see the best scripts first anymore..won't be the first choice for the hottest projects. He hasn't come to terms with that yet and is still chasing hits.

All the established movie stars not named Leonardo DiCaprio are in danger from this DC/Marvel universe sh!t

but maybe he can revamp by turning his other movies into Franchises ( I am Legend 2 / I-robot 2 / An independence Day reboot/ Hancock 2/ Hitch 2 )

I don't think you know what "star" means.

Those are some talented actors you just posted but no ones going to see a movie because Andre Holland is in it. Or even Ali. If they were moonlight wouldn't be one of the lowest grossing best picture winners ever

Big Willie just ain't got it no more. Just bad decision after bad decision. Focus was really the last aight movie he made, everything since then is bad or not talked about. He just hasn't aged gracefully acting wise into his 40's.

Plus the definition of a blockbuster hit has changed. You can't make a one off movie hit anymore, there has to be a sequel or tied into "a universe". Even when he tried that, Suicide Squad happened. :francis:

Yeah seriously. Star isn’t the same as good actor or actress.

I like him in the get down. Yeah as a person he seems bugged the fukk out but he can do his thing on film
I'm gonna be real with you...I didnt see a problem with After Earth. Will was hardly in the movie and Jaden wasn't even bad. The vitriol that came from the reviews of that movie had me thinking it was the worst movie ever and it was nowhere close but I think we all know what that was about. People in this very thread got bamboozled and said Will tried to put him in all his movies when he's only been in 2 (One of which everyone liked). People were itching to hate on that movie especially with M Knight being involved and Will trying to pave a way for his kid....."Hollywood" didnt like that at all...
As far as Will and his career you're right. He's always been a mixed bag. Top box office draw at one time and dominated for damn near a decade but movies never really been all that critically acclaimed. Times have changed and he's adapted pretty good IMO people just looking back caught up in nostalgia when the reality is he's always been this way.
