Worst casting decisions.

[Wor-Gar]

If we are digging up the numerous crimes of The Godfather III I have to add Andy Garcia to the list. Not as bad as Sofia, but close.
Sonny is one of the all time great characters in cinema, we?re introduced to his son and heir apparent, and its Andy Garcia? Not good enough.

G3 is a disaster for many reasons. Hoo-Haw!

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Andy Garcia was the best thing in GF3. As for other bad casting choices, a-dev will feel this post somewhere in Ireland.

Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese. Sorry, he was a good Ringo in Tombstone tho.

That?s kind of like choosing the best turd in the bowl.

I don't think GF3 is a bad film, just misunderstood.

The most recent thing I can think of is the netfix witcher series.

A lot of the casting directly clashes with the established lore the characters have in the books.

Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo

HAHA! I felt the betrayal, perfect response. Clown is mistaken about a great many things, but this above all else. Biehn was perfect as Reese.

On the casting decisions, I've always wondered what James Remar's Hicks (Aliens) would have been like before he was fired. Remar was the one who put the graffiti with the heart and a lock over it on the armour which Biehn apparently thought was lame (although certainly iconic now). Again Biehn to me seems the perfect choice for Hicks. You can still see one of two scenes with Remar in the movie (I think they were all from the hive scene, either with his back to the camera or distance shots which would have been too expensive to redo).

Maybe for you, but this was a good casting choice for Spielberg . . .

Mmmmm, I would say it work out better for Capshaw

Plenty of people were considered for the role of Quint.....

I can safely say , any of those choices would have been very bad for Jaws as, in the end, Shaw helped pen the famous Indianapolis story at the end.

Well, on paper he wasn't a bad choice. He had the look and talent for the role.

We're waiting for the Snyder cut scene for final judgement.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Emilia Clark as Sarah Connor
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor
Jeep Swenson as Bane
Channing Tatum as Duke
Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka

Those are good ones.


Also, Nolan's choices for the female roles in his Batman Saga -- Holmes, Gyllenhaal, Hathaway

First one that came to mind. They needed a charismatic and likable actress to sell that character, and she's not either of those things.

She is those things. The majority of people will say that. We know the real reason her name is predictably being mentioned here. There are a dedicated bunch of bitter individuals who will continue their failed mission.

I just watched a summary of the scenes for the original. And there is nothing that can save that acting. It?s just over the top and it does not work for me at all.

It?s not the Joker to me. Random crazy person maybe, but not the joker

I agree. Revolori was ridiculous, and Depp was borderline sacrilegious.

 

[Prime Clone]

Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo

The casting was one of the few things about Solo that actually worked for me. If you can accept Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan...

I concur.
