I think she does a decent enough job, it's just kinda weird. Are... you surprised that nepotism has more influence than other factors? The lead actor in the fantastic beasts movies is the brother of the guy that was the CEO of Pottermore.

Yeah, but how long are you willing to entertain an actor who was hired to do his part of the movie, and then goes to the publicity run calling the entire production a poo poo-show because he wasn't allowed to take over the director, composer, editor and scriptwriter jobs? No wonder he is stuck with Bruce Willis, the guy does not give a gently caress and just cashes his paycheck.

So I take it that Edward Norton's role in Birdman (2014) is more or less just how he acts in real life?

trapped mouse posted:So I take it that Edward Norton's role in Birdman (2014) is more or less just how he acts in real life? My understanding is more or less yes. And only reason why Norton took the job was to make him "able to laugh at his behavior", so a career-saving Hail Mary more or less. But to get back into the topic from the rear end in a top hat actor-chat I started here is a picture:

Norton wants to be a Serious Actor™ so I think he comes off as a snob to a lot of people but you have to wonder if he regrets jumping off the MCU train before it could have made him unimaginably wealthy

I watched a Colbert interview with Billy Boyd, who plays Pippin in the Lord of the Rings movies. He says on literally day one of filming, they're filming the scene in Fellowship where they all tumble down the hill onto the road with stolen vegetables in tow. After doing one take, Billy Boyd says to Peter Jackson "Hey, I have an idea. It would be funny if when they all land, they narrowly miss a pile of horse poo poo, and Pippin says something like 'Well, that was lucky!'" They're on location, filming on a hiking trail outside Wellington. Peter asks one of the WETA prop guys if he has what he needs to quickly whip up some prop horse poo poo. Prop guy says he can do it. Then they do another take, with that scene.  Billy Boyd said that it was one of the first times he had spoken to Peter Jackson, and he's this actor giving him notes, and he agrees right away. Unsurprisingly, he said that Peter was a dream to work with.

But it is not this day! https://www.austin360.com/story/entertainment/movies-tv/2021/03/05/alamo-drafthouse-lord-rings-stephen-colbert-austin-reunion/4592778001/ It was at that event, Alamo Drafthouse screening of the movies with interviews afterwards. Some other fun ones: Billy Boyd says that he gets asked about second breakfast literally every day of his life, and surprisingly, doesn't get tired of hearing it because he absolutely loved that gag. After being cast as Samwise, Sean Astin asked if he could be considered for Aragorn. He said the casting director snorted laughing and said no. He also said that at the time he was cast he had just finished his degree in American literature, and had literally never heard of Lord of the Rings ("it's English!") Cate Blanchett was warned by a trusted person in Hollywood to not take the role of Galadriel, because "it's 3 weeks of your life in New Zealand, and nobody's going to see the elf movies." She also made a habit of picking up and keeping discarded elf-ear prosthetic tips from the set, and the crew teased her for it and made her a very special metal cast of her ear and elf ears. John Rhys Davies had it written into his contract that he wanted a comfortable recliner everywhere they filmed, so the helicopters hauled up a big leather la-z-boy for him on all the shots on location. There was a guy the cast described as "some hermit living in California" who they would call at all hours of the night for questions on pronunciation for the elf language parts. They already had two lore experts on the crew at all times, but this guy was the expert among experts. Orlando Bloom was told he was cast in the role of Legolas 2 weeks before he was set to graduate acting school. He also amassed a huge collection of props and memorabilia by just writing letters and asking the prop guys for stuff. When they filmed the battle scenes at Amon Hen, Viggo Mortensen had already done a lot of choreography to prepare for orc slaying with some of the key stunt players. It was miserably hot that day, and all the stunt guys were now in full costume, rubber orc suits. So now that it's time to film, they've filled out the orc army and he can't recognize who he had practiced his choreography with and doesn't want to bash a poor extra with his sword. He asked the stunt coordinators what to do and one said "well, the ones who are running past you, just let them run past. The ones that are running at you, those are the guys you practiced with, so hit them". The other coordinator said "ehh, they're all professionals and their costumes are padded. Don't worry, hit all of them."

I think the good actor vs pain-in-the-rear end actor difference would be if the prop guy had said they didn't have the stuff on hand. Pain-in-the-rear end actor wants to delay/come back later to shoot it, good actor lets it go.
