Gwendoline Christie wouldn't have a career without Game Of Thrones, so there's that. The only person who seemed to give a poo poo about her was Terry Gilliam, who liked her so much in a two minute role that he cast her in a second, even smaller role three years later. Now she's doing films, and has been a regular in two other tv shows, including Jane Campion's upcoming Top of the Lake.

Soul Glo posted:Uh how? It was a joke, the gist of which was that it seemed like a total waste to cast "Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie!" as Captain Phasma and then give her four lines, five minutes of screentime, and zero face time. The Vader comparison isn't really relevant -- JEJ's voice absolutely sold the character, but can you even remember a single one of Phasma's lines? Would you have even suspected it was her if you hadn't read the casting news? She had about as noticeable a role as Daniel Craig did.

Kit Harington was in the most recent call of duty, doing voice and facial mocap work for the main bad guy, a space russian/arab FURGNER who talks a lot about how he HATES FREEDOM.

It seems to me that it's exceedingly rare for a TV actor to transition to film and remain as successful, or they just stick with TV. Does anybody who knows more about TV/Movie production know why that seems to be the case?

Does anybody who knows more about TV/Movie production know why that seems to be the case? George Clooney comes to mind. I'd say generally 'bonafide movie stars' are a pretty rare thing, it's climbing 2-3 steps in the fame ladder so it's completely understandable why it's unlikely and pretty rare for people to make that transition (and why movie stars always find work in TV if they want to) The GoT leads have actually been given massive chances, it's just that they really kinda suck, pretty faces but not much else. Though I think Terminator:Genisys is getting a sequel so we're not done with Emilia Clarke yet. Although, look at Ed Skrein, went from having a minor role on GoT to getting prominent movie roles in a couple of years.

Most of these people barely had careers before the show anyway. For the older actors, it's mostly just another role.

Yeah, it's one thing to use a double for big/dangerous stunts or nudity. Using a double because an actor is lazy is pretty poo poo, though.

Body doubles are more ubiquitous than you think. You edited to big/dangerous but they're quite common. Most actors that claim to do their own stunts are bullshitting, and the ones that do are because they're Tom Cruise and they have the clout to overrule the studio safety representative. Not speaking to Emilia's work ethic - just the initial characterization of lots of body double work on a big action movie being a) unusual b) expensive. Those are the two bad opinions.

Probably just bad/rushed wording since I'm on a phone at work, but I wasn't trying to imply doubles are rare/used only for big things. Hell they can be used for something simple as 'this establishing shot is from behind and we don't need the actor's face'. It was more the implication they overused Clarke's double for little things because she couldn't be arsed committing to the role I find lovely. Whether it's true or not I have no clue, but with how disinterested she seemed throughout the movie I wouldn't be surprised.

Where are you guys getting this stuff? I was under the impression they decided not to make more of them because the movie didn't meet expectations financially, which is the exact same thing that happened with the previous reboot.

I linked two sources up above. Here's another: http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/678551-emilia-clarke-terminator-sequels#/slide/1 and another http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/620381-terminator-franchise-not-on-hold-just-re-adjusting#/slide/1 You have to actually read to see she was replaced, there's no bold saying "THIS IS WHERE SHE LOST EVERYTHING". She was signed on to do the 3 movies before the first one even came out, the studio refused to give advanced screening to critics, the moment the movie comes out Clarke is completely eviscerated by critics and viewers and it under performs financially (but still makes enough to qualify as successful) and yet the studio immediately released that they are "re-adjusting for the sequels by listening to what the fans didn't like", i.e. replacing the poo poo actors (Clarke wasn't the only one everybody hated, Jai Courtney was too). Then a few months later Clarke gives a particularly teenage angsty response when asked if she's still doing the sequels quote:"No. Can I say that? It's okay. No. Uh-uh. But I have some very different roles coming up."

This has very little to do with Clarke. You are reading too much into it. The movie was not successful, but the producers believe there is money to be made off the intellectual property. In the same article where they talk about 'listening to the fans', they also say "when we talk movies, we talk universes, even more than franchises. So the idea of a Terminator TV show fits into that universe." This is the simply a failed second reboot of a series whose last truly successful product was released in 1992.

If you actually read all 4 links you'd see they were/are very much wanting to make the two sequels which aren't even officially cancelled yet, they're still on hold, and they want to get them done by 2019 before losing the license back to Cameron. Also saying Genisys "wasn't successful" is dumb. It made a significant amount of money, well over the 20% return most studios look for, and is the second highest grossing Terminator film of all time despite costing much less than T3 and T4. It was not the behemoth Marvel movie gross they were wanting so they were looking for changes, like you know, the main lead actress and co-main male lead not sucking balls. Next you'll be arguing it wasn't her fault her Broadway play shut down after only a month despite all the critics eviscerating her there as well. Solice Kirsk posted:So what you're saying is it's the LA football teams of movie franchises.

They aren't keeping it, there is nothing the studio can do to keep the rights (outside of buying it back from Cameron obviously), they are going back to Cameron in 19. The only wriggle room they have was that if they made a TV show before the rights reverted they would've been able to keep that show running even after rights reverted.

I think Kit Harrinton's alright. In the first three seasons he didn't have the best material (first season: whining about being a bastard; second season: squinting into the camera because it's so cold + being the most incompetent ranger ever; third season: romance with Ygritte) but from Season 4 onward Jon has gotten a lot better.
