I’m kind of tired of all these actors, especially in something with such a unique style. Let the story and robots stand out with some solid actors that aren’t in every other movie.

Hollywood is stuck on the same actors. I groaned when they cast Anya taylor joy for Furiosa, cause she's in everything and I'm sick of it.
It's like how 5+ years ago every movie had Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence
Agreed. Reusing the same set of hyped actors across films definitely reduces the level of immersion. Unless ofc the actors can truly transform themselves like Colin Farrell in the new Penguin series to give a recent example.
I think the issue is that nowadays the job of actors in big movies like these is just as much being a vehicle for marketing as it is the acting itself. I've heard that the rule of thumb is that Hollywood spends a similar amount on marketing as it does on production. So you want someone with a household name that people recognize, that people associate with a type of movie they like, and that can tour through the media circus and talks shows creating buzz.
Plus it helps with acquiring financing.
So as much as I'd want to see more fresh faces (and more normal people, not the unrealistic Hollywood standards), I doubt it'll happen.
I like the how the Robots look and Millie Bobby Brown was good in everything i saw her in, so i am carefully optimistic that this will be a fun watch.
I'm sick of Millie Bobbie Brown. Also hate how Hollywood refused to accept her as a young person and just made her 40
Wdym with the last sentence, can you elaborate.
Since she was like 12, Hollywood has been rushing to make her an adult. To the point where she was being put in these outfits and make up that made her look much older. Now she's 20 and it feels like she's 40 and is starting to look it already
Maybe she is a part of that as well? Now she's like 20 and wanting to be seen as an adult while having been on everyone's televisions for years as an actual child, pretty wild someone may be struggling with fame at a young age I know.
I'm annoyed that there's no mention of Simon Stålenhag despite the fact that this movie is based on his artwork.
Unless this was edited after your post, you just skipped this:
The project is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Simon Stalenhag. Shot in October 2022 and wrapping in February 2023, further reshoots took place in March and April of this year.
I missed that bit off, soz. I was rushing it on my phone. 😊 Thanks for including.
Yeah, I missed it heh. I was looking for the funny Swedish letters and missed his name.
Yep. Thats the real reason I'm excited for this movie.
I feel like having a bunch of A-list actors kinda takes away from it.
