Joblo: KREEV passed on [AKIRA] Antibody May 17, 12:45

Probably realized what we already knew: how bad it would suck with him starring in it. {nm} secretstalker May 17, 12:46

thats like blockbuster passing on buying netflix or every studio passing on Twilight {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 12:46

wow, is AKIRA going to be that big? know what kind of budget it's getting? {nm} lobogotti May 17, 12:53

Some guy told me $220 million. {nm} secretstalker May 17, 12:54

lol....let me guess, was he a stuntman? lobogotti May 17, 12:55

BWAHAHAHA! i just think its a mistake for him, at this point in his career, to pass on a tentpole. its just stupid. {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 12:56

yeah, was thinking the same thing. if done well this could kick him out of the Henry's Crime status back up to Matrix levels {nm} lobogotti May 17, 12:58

He chose to do indie films, not forced to. {nm} Antibody May 17, 13:04

Street Kings and The Day the Earth Stood Still tanked pretty hard. {nm} lobogotti May 17, 13:07

Unless he thinks the script sucks & the director can't pull it off. If it's obvious that it fails it would put a final nail in his coffin. {nm} medusa May 17, 13:02

He's still A-list with 47RON already on tap. {nm} Antibody May 17, 13:03

for now. but it's interesting to see his and Nic Cages' careers taking similar turns. if 47RON sucks that will really hurt KREEV. {nm} lobogotti May 17, 13:05

I don't see any similarity in their careers. KREEV has been choosey, while NCAGE is just collecting paychecks. {nm} Antibody May 17, 13:06

that's true, he was neever nearly the draw of what Nic Cage once was. beside Matrix he has only had 2 films open over 30M lobogotti May 17, 13:15

what do you guys think about all that other stuff in the article about the pre-viz dept being shut down?...false alarm? {nm} tealfan May 17, 13:04

The studio rep denies the movie was even greenlit as of yet... they probably were doing R&D only. {nm} secretstalker May 17, 13:49

Joseph Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy they will be big draws next year {nm} gogreen May 17, 13:19

Definitely Joseph. I'd like to see him as Tetsuo. Guy's got range. {nm} djMinion May 18, 09:20
