Whenever I see posts here complaing about actors and Hollywood trying to make them "happen" please stop. I see this on the boards for actors like Austin Butler, Glenn Powell, and Sydney Sweeney but you don't seem to understand it's time for Hollywood to create the next generation of Movie Stars. Your favorite actors from the 70s-90s are getting older and some won't be around much longer.
shareI hadn’t noticed that phenomenon taking place in GD - the individual film and actor boards is another story though.
shareNo one is against up-and-coming actors, we just don't like how shit they are. For every Florence Pugh, we get a bunch of Rachel Zeglers, Zendayas, and Finn Wolfhards.
shareI think Timothy Chalamet's head is too tiny! If you sprayed him with a hose, it would look no bigger than an apple.
shareJudging by how technology has changed the entire movie-going experience, frankly, I think the concept of the "famous Hollywood actor" trope is going away. Different studios used to market actors as a product, just like their films, usually choosing specific actors who stood out from the others and magnifying their image for the public. These select people were one of many ways a studio could get people to come and watch a film, because a fanbase would grow out of that, and they'd go just to see their favorite actor, never mind the film.
The trouble is, we're so saturated with movies and tv shows now, thanks to Streaming, as well as having access to those people via social media, that a lot of actors who could have fit that bill are now mostly lost in the flood. They too get their 15 minutes of fame, just like any online influencer, and then they're gone. Very rarely are they able to find a good PR firm that can promote them and get them more exposure to the public. Even the PR firms are overflowing with 15-minute people, and it's hard for them now to find someone that stands out or is willing to go the distance like the Hollywood legends we know today.
