??Holmes and Watson??


It seems that Noah doesnt have much of a following here. I/m glad he is being noticed in the movie industry as well as critical review.
In ANY event, for anyone who is following his movies, there is one real disappointment.
You will see Noah listed in the cast of Holmes and Watson.
While I dont recommend this movie, I DEFINITELY DON'T encourage anyone to see it for Noah Jupe.
Noah has been like a beacon of light in Suburican , Wonder and A Quiet Place. He has a "presence" on the screen. So the question is, WHY was he far less than an "extra" in Holmes and Watson. His TOTAL screen time was less than 15 seconds in the entire movie. He seems to have been stuck in the background of a few different scenes as a newsboy, along with some other boys who were little more than extras. He appeared as an "imaginary" son to Holmes for about a 2 second screen shot. And he finally had a spoken line at the end of the movie as a boy delivering a telegram. His only REAL speaking part.
THAT'S IT
ANY kid could have filled this role, even an extra, although extras dont really speak
WHY bother to hire an actor who has had significant roles in movies and is KNOWN.
Was it "Name Recognition"? Did he have a more significant role that was cut?
I know that any screen time pays something but i dont see where this would be worth the effort at this point in his career. It would add nothing to a resume. This is so much beneath his talent or ability it is kind of sad to see him reduced to little less than wallpaper.
He has some more significant roles coming up next year 2019 (I Hope)
He has made some excellent film choices and has done VERY well in each of his roles.
It was kind of sad to see his name in the cast but not have him in a place where he could shine in his role in a movie.
I really missed that.
The movie is forgettable and his part is unnoticed unless you really look hard.
