Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Posted by: pataos on Oct 10, 10:21 in response to StarBondFund's post When in doubt....DDAYL He can play anything.

Mark Wahlberg is a Dorchester boy which is a stone's throw from Whitey's stomping ground. He would know what Southie background in Old Colony projects is all about. Norman Reedus has the "tough" needed to do it. Whoever it is will need to look good blonde.  Bulger was not a bad looking man.

I cannot in my wildest imagination see Tom Cruise or Johnny Depp as Bulger.

THR: Inside [BMASS] standoff. CAA has approached Tom Cruise about the project, but the financiers are trying to find a solution with Depp. Antibody Jun 05, 11:03

From Johnny Depp to Tom Cruise. Don't think I've ever heard that substitution before. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:22

Cruise seems like the wrong choice here...Bulger is a Boston guy, so Matt Damon seems like an obvious fallback {nm} lapuckfan Jun 05, 11:24

The could also try cheaper actors who've played gangsters, wise guy types, etc. in the past. I don't see this movie having huge upside. {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:28

They not the. For some reason I'm thinking Ray Liotta might work well in this. {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:30

he's probably too old for the younger days {nm} lapuckfan Jun 05, 11:34

Only 8-9 years older than Cruise and Depp, and Liotta's from Jersey which I think of as akin to Boston in some ways. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:41

Änd makeup can do wonders these days. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:42

Bulger is probably in his mid 30s at the beginning of the story, makeup can only do so much...a lot easier to make someone look older {nm} lapuckfan Jun 05, 12:27

Liotta can't sell tickets. The oversea financers need an A-lister. {nm} Antibody Jun 05, 11:44

But apparently won't pay A-lister prices. And I doubt this is ever doing $10M let alone $20M salary business. {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:50

good supporting actor, but I don't think he can carry a film on his own. When was he last the lead in a successful film? {nm} tatoufan Jun 05, 11:46

I guess it depends what they realistically expect from what might otherwise be a TV movie. If he's right for the role, maybe Liotta... KalElFan Jun 05, 11:52

... can carry a movie like this to $25M+ domestic, maybe more if it's good and Universal really backed it. {nm} KalElFan Jun 05, 11:55

When in doubt....DDAYL He can play anything. {nm} StarBondFund Jun 05, 12:15
