Pedro Pascal pulled a Joaquin Phoenix and dropped out of “Weapons” last minute

Uh, not the same situation at all.

But, you knew that, didn't you, OP?

Here's the details. You decide if it's just like what Joaquin has done on several movies:

[quote] “I had a whole different cast for this movie. And then we had the strike, and then Pedro Pascal’s schedule threw us into turmoil. I had to recast the entire movie,” Cregger said.

[quote] “This is what happens, right?” he added. “The strikes delayed us, and then when you delay, people’s schedules get conflicts, and then you’re back at square one. I bear no ill will towards anybody. We just kept getting delayed and delayed. It’s like a domino effect. So I had to start over again.”

Good. One less movie he's in the better.

With Fantastic Four flopping, I'm hoping to see less of him in other projects. I used to like him as a character actor, but he's not leading man material, no matter how many times Hollywood miscasts him to prove otherwise. I've grown tired of him.

Gosh. If by staring on F4 he has become utterly insufferable, only god knows how annoying he'll become if he ever gets an Academy Award nomination. (Let's pray it never happens).

R3 Well, I'm sure Hollywood is listening. Pedro is as good as gone!

[quote] ‘Weapons’ director says Phoenix dropped out last minute sending production into turmoil.

I'm confused.

Fantastic Four isn't exactly a flop...it's grossed nearly $400m in less than two weeks.

R7 but when Superman did exactly that (it made more than FF in the same amount of time) you called it Superflop

A cunt move by a grade A cunt.

R8 I did?!?!? Are you in my house right now?

just got back from the theater. amazing. give amy madigan the oscar.

R11 agreed, the whole film was superb but she was a particular stand out. When she first appeared I thought it was Kathy Griffin.

He was a super-hot twink who lost his looks and must be punished.

This was the director's comment:

[quote]“This is what happens, right?” he added. “The strikes delayed us, and then when you delay, people’s schedules get conflicts, and then you’re back at square one. I bear no ill will towards anybody."

cregger said he wrote the characters as different aspects of his grief over the death of trevor moore. trevor moore fell from his balcony just before 230 am. very interested to rewatch with that in mind. i couldn't figure out how the paul character relates to that. barbarian seemed more thematically cohesive, but this was more entertaining.
