Chadwick Boseman took a pay cut on “21 Bridges” so Sienna Miller was compensated fairly

God, what a good guy. Hollywood could use more men like him!

Why aren’t the actors who make like $20 million per film doing this?!

Yes, because poor, milquetoast actress Sienna was living in destitution in a ramshackle Shoreditch flat with a moldy bathroom. Poor woman.

LOLGGG!

Now Whitey needs to take a pay cut in her next film so a blacktress will receive equal pay.

I doubt Daniel Craig, Jude Law or any of the other men she fucked would do the same for her or anyone else.

Not to mention Daniel Craig makes so much on those Bond movies.

You understand the idiocy of this more than most. Thanks for the laugh.

R4 But honestly, why should they? Actors not matter of which sex get paid quite well in such roles and salaries in movies are based on how many people an actor can get to spend money for a ticket. I think the movie came out after Black Panther, so of course Chadwick would get paid more. Who in the world is dying to watch the next Sienna Miller movie?

Certainly not me, r7

Why doesn’t she just get a better agent?

It wasn't the notion of bringing her up to Boseman's salary, he wanted her in the film, she had a quote that the studio wouldn't give her. Studios always have arbitrary reasons on why not to pay actors what they want. This isn't a Terrence Howard wanting to makes as much as Robert Downey Jr. situation. Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence were paid less than Christian Bale, Jeremy Renner and Bradley Cooper for "American Hustle". Adams tried to negotiate to get the same amounts, but the studio wouldn't relent. By that time Adams already had more Oscar nominations than any of the men and Lawrence. I don't see how it can be justified that she didn't deserve parity.

For the first "Bad Moms" film Mila Kunis Kristen Bell, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate were going to be paid more than third Bad Mom Kathryn Hahn, so they donated a portion of their salaries to bring her up to their salaries.

Sienna Miller’s biggest role was taking on Rupert Murdoch and her bringing down The News Of The World over phone hacking charges.

If Weinstein had the power to blacklist Mira Sorvino, then Jerry Hall’s rotting ball of decaying skin is going to do all her can to ruin Miller.

Good on Chadwick for being the good guy.

Amy Adams didn't deserve parity because she's a glorified character actress. Audiences don't give a shit about awards, actors and actresses salaries are based on popularity with audiences. And whether we like it or not, Christian Bale and Brad Cooper are more popular

So Chris Evans who can't open a film unless he's Captain America deserves more money than Amy Adams or Sienna Miller?

by Anonymousreply 13September 28, 2020 10:20 PM

Yes he does R13. Because being Captain America brings in extra viewers. If Jennifer and Amy can negotiate a higher salary then more power to them. If not, then not

Will there be Oscars this year??? If so, I’m sure 21 Bridges will be a shoo-in

by Anonymousreply 15September 28, 2020 10:33 PM

R15 It was released November of last year, so it's not eligible for the next ceremony.

by Anonymousreply 16September 28, 2020 10:46 PM

21 Bridges was actually good. A great action movie. Never a boring moment.

by Anonymousreply 17September 28, 2020 11:09 PM

It’s about bankability or how much weight your name holds. Chris Evans name holds a lot because he is Captain America. Chris Hemsworth also has mostly flops outside of Thor but he still gets many roles and paid millions because of his name.

Christian Bale SHOULD have made the most on Hustle, and he did. Lawrence has no business crying about how much she was paid for Hustle. She has like 17 minutes of screen time in a 2 and half hour film.

by Anonymousreply 18September 28, 2020 11:12 PM

PS she was paid 7 million for those 17 minutes

OP, other actors don't do this because they didn't come to Holywood to be a charity. This is nice and all but really not the actor's responsibility. The studios should be pushing of this. You also have the issue of popularity. No one really cares if Sienna Miller is in a movie or not. People may notice if Chadwick or another Marvel hero was in one. That is their value. The NBA isn't taking pay cuts for the WNBA. Separate companies but somewhat the same premise. You are paid based on popularity.

I think the pay should be close to equal based on popularity, status in the film, and career longevity.

What’s funny is no one acknowledges when a woman makes more than her male costars. For instance, J Law made more than Chris Pratt for that space movie. She made more than the males on most of her films minus a couple.

Scar Jo too. No one mentions how she made $20 million to Morgan Freeman’s $4 million. Or how she was the second highest paid Avenger as of Age of Ultron. Idk about after that.

Why do good people like Boseman die young of a horrible disease and scum of the earth Trump is still walking around causing misery!!
