Worse.
You know how he played young indie with the help of deepfake and other tricks? We're going to enter an era where actors will be sought out for how well their face structure matches old actors, they won't be seen as [actor], they'll be seen as Harrison Ford's double. You thought you'd be rid of Harrison Ford when he can't get out of a wheelchair? He'll be back, played by someone else.
>He'll be back, played by someone else.
If they're smart, they'll get him to sign over the complete rights to his likeness while he's senile, then dig through their archives or find some photographer's old b-roll of him to scan in high resolution so they can make their own Harrison Model to use with AI. They won't even need a double, just prompt the computer to tell him what to do.
Kevin Heart makes a living making credit card commercials, i don't know how relevant he still is.

Its been talked about but people care less and less about stars
Who will be the first sector to sell a greenscreen pack of them doing 10,000 different actions on a screen to a studio for them to just splice into 80 different movies over the next 20 years
Nah, this will soon be obsolete and far too restricting. Studios have 3D models of many actors by now, for complicated CGI work ("CGI doubles") where real actor on a green screen doesn't cut it. This is something that many high-profile actors are really paranoid and concerned about, like reportedly Tom Cruise. Right now, the tech isn't quite there, and a feature-length fully CGI movie with a photorealistic CGI Tom Cruise would still be far far far more expensive than filming Tom on a green screen. But in 2034? In 2044?
What they'll do is a hybrid that keeps a handful of marketable stars without the unchecked proliferation of star salaries and have them come into a training data collection session at a performance capture studio where they basically do the hundreds of actions thing to train infinite AI animations for their digital likeness. Some close ups against a green screen where they emote, say lines, etc. from various angles and with different emotions, accents, etc. to train the voice model and facial animation. They'll pitch it in a way where dipshits will consider it real acting, no different than Andy Serkis type shit, but it's all about studio control.

I think it's very likely that he was planning to transition into politics sometime in the early 2020s, but this plan was considered like 10 years before that. Much like Schwarzenegger before him, I think he would have liked very much to wait out his "awkward aging years" in a role that doesn't require him to look alpha. Look at Schwarzenegger, he made his move right when he was aging out of the "prime alpha macho man" roles that he couldn't pull off anymore, and when he returned to movies, he gracefully embraced the image of the "badass old guy with grey hair but who can still beat up young punks if needed". But no matter what your health routine is, there is this awkward aging phase, which for normal men is roughly at 45-60 years old, where you are in between and it's not a good look for an action star.
But then Trump happened, which really poisoned the whole concept of a celebrity president. Way too many people apparently started questioning, even if subconsciously, whether or not it's a good idea to have some memey pop culture star as a president, as opposed to a seasoned politician. So Dwayne had to set this plan aside, either completely or for a decade.
Maybe this even can somewhat explain his recent-ish movie career struggles, because there was no particular roadmap for these years hollywood-wise and a lot of this is bad on-the-fly improvisation.
>Look at Schwarzenegger, he made his move right when he was aging out of the "prime alpha macho man" roles that he couldn't pull off anymore, and when he returned to movies, he gracefully embraced the image of the "badass old guy with grey hair but who can still beat up young punks if needed".
I wonder what Statham's aging plan is, btw. He seems to be a health nut and he is great for 55-ish years old, but he is showing signs of aging lately. For now, probably for the next few years, he can still pull off the gruff "middle-aged" roles. I think in Beekeeper, at one point, his on-screen character is said to be "in his early 40s", and, like, sure, ok, it's not too jarring.
There will be a time when Statham will have to embrace being a "badass old man", Liam Neeson-style, and probably with a grey beard or something, but how will he transition into that over the next decade or so?

I think he started visibly aging, in a controlled manner, since F&F 8 or so. He was still in peak "prime age" form in F&F 7, looking fresh and lean and at the top of his game. Then, in the second half of the 2010s, you started seeing signs of him becoming definitely middle-aged.
And I think Beekeeper is a good example of how he might embrace aging in terms of his "look". I don't think I've seen him with this kind of beard for a long time before it. It might be his / his team's chosen look for this upcoming era.
> in the latest Expendables movie
That one was filmed in 2021 (originally intended for a 2022 release but Ukraine happened), so it shouldn't be too different from Wrath Of Man. Probably deliberate, with makeup etc. It's also the movie where Stallone's character jokes about Statham's character being not as young as he was.

Yeah, it was filmed in 2021 for an Aug/Sep 2022 release. It was presented at a big enough industry event in early 2022, and although there were no direct footage leaks from there, they showed a trailer which, by text description, is the exact same one that was released when the promo campaign kicked off in summer 2023. They were gearing up for a 2022 release.
But Ukraine happened, and the movie's plot deals with topics that made it a very bad timing. Nuclear bombs, Russia. Dolph Lundgren revealed too much of it in one interview around that time and started drawing parallels, and someone clearly reached out to him and told him to shut up.
Also, and this is another thing that most people don't know, but Expendables and the whole 80s action heroes thing is a big enough thing in Russia and other ex-USSR countries that Lionsgate didn't want to lose that market. Throughout 2022, they road tested releasing their movies in Russia through a shell distributor based in Cyprus. It's a fully legit scheme, legal distribution, no under-the-table deals, they just didn't want the bad PR of "Lionsgate is doing business with Russian distributors and cinema chains". After making sure that it works fine, they could now safely release Expendables 4 in Russia, which they did.

Sure, but imagine him at 80, he won't be able to pull off the kinds of roles that he does today.
There can be fun roles for the future 80 year old Statham, including some "badass old man" kind of roles, but there will be a very awkward transition period very soon where he will look too old for his current schtick and too young to be a badass old man. This is what I'm talking about in that message above.

I'm not sure how that's supposed to save time. I'm also not sure how actors are allowed to just constantly be late. There's so many stories of actors like Johnny Depp, Lindsay Lohan or Brando just consistently showing up hours late or not at all and still being paid millions of dollars even while costing the production millions more as they force people to just stand around waiting.
What other industry are people permitted to do that and get away with it?
>What other industry are people permitted to do that and get away with it?
Every industry where you are indispensable and the project basically stands and falls with you. This is usually owners fault because he pushes more and more of his stuff on you and then one day he realizes that he cannot fire you because the cost would be higher than the pain of keeping you around.
This is my current situation at work. Now they want me to work two positions because a guy is on vacation for the 4th time this year. Boss has even told me the company heavily relies on me and that theyve invested a lot and no one else can do what I do. But when it came to talking about raising my pay he suddenly didn't seem to think that way. So now I do what I want. I'm not doing 2 jobs, eat a dick.
Because at a certain level you can behave and act almost anyway you want, particularly when the movie hinges on you. Now I’m starting to take Vins side and believe Rock was the one showing up late and frickignaround

Lindsay Lohan was blackballed and paid dearly for being late and unruly. So let's not lump her in with the others. We lost so much potential kino in the 2010s because Hollywood turned her back on her.
>Lindsay Lohan was blackballed and paid dearly for being late and unruly.
It took so long for her to actually get blackballed and even after she did Paul Schrader gave her a chance on the Canyons and then she went and still did the same shit halting production for hours each day.
It's not about saving time, it's about bulking up. You see, The Rock overheard some people talk about how Batista got so swole. The problem is Rock thought they said Batista drinks his own piss, when in reality it's that Batista consumes his own jizz. So Rock's constantly drinking his own piss and getting pissed that his muscles aren't bulking the way Batista's did.
Listen, there are "degrees of bullshit you should put up with on actors depending on talent level".
Low-tier (immediately fire)-
The Pebble (TM)
Lindsay Lohan
High-Tier (they catch a warning but know they are so good they can ignore you and even you know it too)-
The Depp
The Brando
The secret to this is Depp and Brando will make you money for decades while being absolute trainwrecks. The other two are just casting coucher and nepo trainwrecks.
Don't even have to fire him. If the contract stated he was to pay $xxx penalty for delaying filming, they could sue him after the production, and he would suddenly learn to be on time.
depends on how the contract is written and the star power. Some actors are chained very tightly to the schedule while others have basically full control. Like Kevin Costner
It was going to be released in December 2023, for Christmas, because it's a Christmas action movie.
But the strikes happened, and The Rock couldn't promote the movie on his socials, which I imagine is a huge part of their planned promo campaign.
Sure, the strike ended in November, but it was too late. It was evident that very early into this strike the studio decided "if this doesn't get resolved within 2 weeks, we will miss the deadlines for the start of our promo campaign".
And again, mind you, this is a Christmas movie. You can't release it in June or something. So it got pushed by a whole year into December 2024 despite being finished.
Also, the strikes threw a wrench of incredible size into Fast & Furious. Follow along:
> Fast X is being filmed without The Rock who is too cool for this shit > Black Adam fails, which is the newest one in the line of The Rock's underperforming or lukewarmly received projects, there's a lot of talk in pop culture about how his career isn't too hot anymore > He caves in, agrees to return to F&F, films a cameo for the Fast X post-credit scene, and arranges the Hobbs & Reyes spin-off which is set to happen between the events of Fast X and Fast XI, and to be released between them
> SURPRISE MOTHERFRICKER STRIKES
> can't work on the script for Hobbs & Reyes > can't film it > the strikes cause Red One to be delayed by a whole year (see above) > the strikes eventually resolve, but now you still need a script and all that > to save his career and his image as an actor, The Rock signs up to film that indie drama about the UFC fighter, which takes priority > even if Hobbs & Reyes has a rushed production after the indie drama, it will definitely not be ready for release by autumn 2024 > can't release it in winter (or even early spring) because that's too close to Red One > therefore looking at late spring / summer of 2025 for Hobbs & Reyes > can't put two Fast & Furious tentpoles close together, and they've always been summer blockbusters > Fast XI is likely to be pushed into spring/summer of 2026 > could have been released in 2024 if not for all this bullshit
I like to imagine when the Rock strolls in eight hours late he goes up to sitting teamsters who are struggling to stay awake after hours of doing nothing and full of energy he pulls them their feet yelling platitudes at them like, "Come on, guys! Let's get to it, we've got a movie to make!"
Worked as an extra for Ballers a few times. One day it’s a huge cattle call. 300 background actors show up at 6 am to fill the Rose Bowl (they did this thing called “tiling” where we all filled one section then got up and filled the next section so they could composite the shots later). We’re all on set (which again is the bleachers for the Rose Bowl) at 8 am and we’re just sitting around, baking in the sun (if you’re an extra the set medic will provide sunscreen but only if you ask for it, which I eventually did but they should have offered it at the start of the shoot day) waiting for the Rock to show up. Someone looks at his Instagram and realizes he isn’t on set because he’s working out. So we couldn’t start shooting until he was done getting a pump. He finally showed up around noon. That’s some punk ass jabroni shit frick you Dwayne. You know what I do when I get a job? Show respect for the rest of the cast and crew by showing up fifteen minutes before I have to be there!
>they did this thing called “tiling” where we all filled one section then got up and filled the next section so they could composite the shots later
Did you see any complex camera movement, or were they filming static shots from (I presume) predetermined positions? Because if the camera moves around on the field, things would have to be very precise for the stitching of actual captured angles to work.
Him getting a pump is necessary for his job. You're unironically just mad that you have to be a fricking extra getting treated like shit while a multimillionaire movie star... gets to act like a multimillionaire movie star.
Red Notice is apparently the most popular Netflix movie of all time. I don’t know anyone besides myself who has actually seen it, but I guess it was a mega hit.
Netflix likely promoted it very heavily, The Rock probably demanded good numbers no matter how they got them, and N fudged those numbers a lot, eg clicking on it is one view, or something shady like that
Jumanji 2017 was definitely very well received. Jumanji 2019, not so much, but it still had a decent box office. Then again, I guess these are "ensemble" films.
The most clear-cut answer is probably Hobbs & Shaw.
>What was the last hit film The Rock led? I don't think he's the draw people seem to believe he is
He's been consistently flopping the last few years.

The fact that people won't pay for that movie tells you the Rock's career has taken a hit. And this is a guy that has extensive and even insane demands in his contracts if you want him starring.

Jungle Cruise (2021) was a super flop. Made $220M off a $200M budget when it needed it to make at least $400M.
Black Adam (2022) was a flop. Made $394M when it needed to make $520M or more.
>Jungle Cruise (2021) was a super flop.
When judging box office fails, I give a pass to anything released in 2020 and 2021, for obvious reasons.
Also, I think it's important to look at the overall reception and hype, not just box office numbers.
Going further back, Skyscraper was a very serious and noticeable misstep, and I got a distinct feeling that people were disappointed in Baywatch.
>When judging box office fails, I give a pass to anything released in 2020 and 2021, for obvious reasons.
Black Adam was October 2022. That was well after any remaining lockdown issues. Top Gun: Maverick released in May 2022.

Companies care about making returns, especially when we're dealing with big investment. For major studios that's anything in the hundreds of millions range.

I stopped fw him when he did the Toothfairy movie. But the objective answer is that once they paired Rock and Kevin Hart more than one time, it was the beginning of the end for both. Hart would have become irrelevant without Rock by now, but Dwayne picked up some of that backlash and now he's the ones becoming progressively irrelevant. Hopefully, they both disappear.

Oh, so they have an official synopsis now?
Judging by Rock's uniform in all these bts pics and by the title, I thought that he is supposed to be a pilot of some modernized Santa's sleigh or some shit. "Red One" like "Air Force One".
Oh for sure.
No doubt Dwayne has been reasonably careful since he started becoming super famous, but with his kind of personality, I'm certain that there's something juicy from the early 00s or so.
>piss bottles
probably does not want anyone to test his piss to see what drugs he is taking. no reason for a mega millionaire to piss in bottles. i'd just hire an assistant to drink my piss instead
The Rock has always been the new Arnold for zoomers. But hes also past his wrestling days and past the point of impressiveness. He knows it, his movies are shit. He cant act, his voice acting is ok. But you could get something better if you are looking for versatility and range from the guy who buffs the floors at night, or Mark Hamills muppet ass
Hes just trying to get some money to live, like many hollywood tards. Trapped in 60 million dollar mansions they paid for when they were making more money and now look like fools and dancing monkeys for the screen..
The Rock thinks he's bigger star than he actually is. His entire schtick is being the tough guy in an action/comedy while having none of the on charisma of Stallone, Arnold, and Bruce. He's barely a step up from Cena.
If he's always that late then how did he manage to spend months doing his latest WWE program? You simply can't turn up late to live shows under any circumstances and he was involved in a ton of stuff. If he was doing that on the set of a movie then it was a very selective choice.
>You simply can't turn up late to live shows under any circumstances
Lmao have you heard countless stories of Madonna being some 3-4 hours late to her own live concerts in venues?
And also, >You simply can't turn up late to live shows under any circumstances
You just need to know what people/superiors you can't piss off, and who can frick right off. It's reasonable to expect that Dwayne thinks he can't piss off the boardroom of WWE, and also his fans in public. Meanwhile, the film crew is far below him. He is the most important person on the set of a movie produced by himself, not the noname director who doesn't have the weight to slap manners into him.
It's like I have this one friend who is chronically late to any gathering with friends or any activity. But you know to which events he isn't late? He isn't late to the airport to catch a plane, he isn't late to the railway station to catch a train. He knows that the pilots won't be waiting for him.
This is the reason for the smear on The Rock.
Warner Bros thinks that The Rock is the one spreading shit about James Gunn/Peter Safran hiring to be the new bosses of the DC Studios.
So they hired Humberto Gonzales, from The Wratp, to do a smear campaign on The Rock.
Personally, I'm *more* amazed that Gunn walked right into that cancellation. Sure maybe you don't remember every single tweet that you ever wrote, but come on dude, you definitely remember the *kind* of tweets that you wrote. Just nuke your entire twitter history, or delete your account citing something something social media unplugging, wait for 3 months then come back with a clean new account.

But that's because James Gunn have a lot of skeleton in his closet.
For example recently some of the people that hate the idea of him running DC found out about a book that he wrote, called The Toy Collector, where the protagonist, also called James Gunn, talks about how he finds children sexually appealing, how he once came inside a friend's cup, and other outrageous things.
Then there was the fact that he was personal friends with two guys that were convicted as pedophiles. Or that a minor was raped in a theme party inside his house that was based on How to Catch a Predator.
>is recorded saying that he won't openly endorse Biden >this happens
Huh.
Know what's really interesting? I'm supposed to believe this about the guy that quite literally ripped his own garage door with his bare hands to avoid getting late to filming.
All this talk about piss bottles reminds me of long-circulating stories about Stallone having a scat fetish and indulging in it with call girls in the bathrooms of hotels. And then leaving this mess there, and when the hotel complains, his representatives are like "you should understand that Mr. Stallone is a very busy man, he has no time for doing it separately on the toilet, hence he does it right in the shower"
What mental condition causes a person to piss in bottles? Because a not insignificant amount of people do it. Usually it's NEETs, but I've seen some generally "well put together" people fall into it, too.
For people with depression (which many neets are), it's general apathy / executive dysfunction. Same phenomenon as why people don't shower for days or lie in bed for hours. They aren't dumb, they know about the necessity of doing such and such action, but they can't force themselves to do a set of actions that feels like a complicated plan to their very weakened willpower. Getting up, walking down the corridor, messing with your clothes, preparing your bathroom towel and all the other stuff, getting into the shower, etc etc etc is a complex action. Just sitting in your chair and stinking is easier.
For high-functioning people though, I have no idea. Unless someone is super duper in the zone working on some project very urgently and they don't want to break their concentration for 2-3 minutes. In which case I still don't approve but that would be sorta understandable.

You thought you'd be rid of Harrison Ford when he can't get out of a wheelchair? He'll be back, played by someone else.
Disgustingly soulless future.
really puts a new twist on "body double"
i can't wait until they find an 18 year old latina they can use as a movement template for salma hayek
>He'll be back, played by someone else.
If they're smart, they'll get him to sign over the complete rights to his likeness while he's senile, then dig through their archives or find some photographer's old b-roll of him to scan in high resolution so they can make their own Harrison Model to use with AI. They won't even need a double, just prompt the computer to tell him what to do.
Chalet is an actual actor. But can't really think of any besides him.
The Devil (jews) have to push them, they're not getting new souls as of lately

Its been talked about but people care less and less about stars
How soon before you can pay Dwayne $500 bucks on cameo.com to congratulate you on your wedding?
KINO
Pictures like this make me feel sick.
Who will be the first sector to sell a greenscreen pack of them doing 10,000 different actions on a screen to a studio for them to just splice into 80 different movies over the next 20 years
Nah, this will soon be obsolete and far too restricting. Studios have 3D models of many actors by now, for complicated CGI work ("CGI doubles") where real actor on a green screen doesn't cut it. This is something that many high-profile actors are really paranoid and concerned about, like reportedly Tom Cruise. Right now, the tech isn't quite there, and a feature-length fully CGI movie with a photorealistic CGI Tom Cruise would still be far far far more expensive than filming Tom on a green screen. But in 2034? In 2044?
What they'll do is a hybrid that keeps a handful of marketable stars without the unchecked proliferation of star salaries and have them come into a training data collection session at a performance capture studio where they basically do the hundreds of actions thing to train infinite AI animations for their digital likeness. Some close ups against a green screen where they emote, say lines, etc. from various angles and with different emotions, accents, etc. to train the voice model and facial animation. They'll pitch it in a way where dipshits will consider it real acting, no different than Andy Serkis type shit, but it's all about studio control.
So what you're saying is that after these models get leaked, I'll be able to have my own digital Ana de Armas on my desktop?
If your desktop is massive Disney mainframe running their proprietary AI system, or possibly if you use Gentoo.
How much computing power is needed to play Quake 3 Arena duels against an Ana de Armas AI and to chat with her over voice talk?
What kind of a moronic title is REDONE anyway
Why are they throwing him under the bus? Isn't he playing their game? Isn't he a big Democrat shill?
He said he regretted voting for Biden.
He’s currently setting up his Republican down the road run after Trump. Maybe like in the 2030s.
>Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 2032
I would have added an AI image but Bing doesnt let us do anything fun now. Especially not political satire.
I think it's very likely that he was planning to transition into politics sometime in the early 2020s, but this plan was considered like 10 years before that. Much like Schwarzenegger before him, I think he would have liked very much to wait out his "awkward aging years" in a role that doesn't require him to look alpha. Look at Schwarzenegger, he made his move right when he was aging out of the "prime alpha macho man" roles that he couldn't pull off anymore, and when he returned to movies, he gracefully embraced the image of the "badass old guy with grey hair but who can still beat up young punks if needed". But no matter what your health routine is, there is this awkward aging phase, which for normal men is roughly at 45-60 years old, where you are in between and it's not a good look for an action star.
But then Trump happened, which really poisoned the whole concept of a celebrity president. Way too many people apparently started questioning, even if subconsciously, whether or not it's a good idea to have some memey pop culture star as a president, as opposed to a seasoned politician. So Dwayne had to set this plan aside, either completely or for a decade.
Maybe this even can somewhat explain his recent-ish movie career struggles, because there was no particular roadmap for these years hollywood-wise and a lot of this is bad on-the-fly improvisation.
>Look at Schwarzenegger, he made his move right when he was aging out of the "prime alpha macho man" roles that he couldn't pull off anymore, and when he returned to movies, he gracefully embraced the image of the "badass old guy with grey hair but who can still beat up young punks if needed".
I wonder what Statham's aging plan is, btw. He seems to be a health nut and he is great for 55-ish years old, but he is showing signs of aging lately. For now, probably for the next few years, he can still pull off the gruff "middle-aged" roles. I think in Beekeeper, at one point, his on-screen character is said to be "in his early 40s", and, like, sure, ok, it's not too jarring.
There will be a time when Statham will have to embrace being a "badass old man", Liam Neeson-style, and probably with a grey beard or something, but how will he transition into that over the next decade or so?
My mother commented recently that he looked "so old" in the latest Expendables movie. I haven't seen him in anything since Wrath of Man and I thought he looked fine in that.
I think he started visibly aging, in a controlled manner, since F&F 8 or so. He was still in peak "prime age" form in F&F 7, looking fresh and lean and at the top of his game. Then, in the second half of the 2010s, you started seeing signs of him becoming definitely middle-aged.
And I think Beekeeper is a good example of how he might embrace aging in terms of his "look". I don't think I've seen him with this kind of beard for a long time before it. It might be his / his team's chosen look for this upcoming era.
> in the latest Expendables movie
That one was filmed in 2021 (originally intended for a 2022 release but Ukraine happened), so it shouldn't be too different from Wrath Of Man. Probably deliberate, with makeup etc. It's also the movie where Stallone's character jokes about Statham's character being not as young as he was.
>That one was filmed in 2021 (originally intended for a 2022 release but Ukraine happened)
I never saw it. The way my mom was talking I thought it must have come out recently.
Yeah, it was filmed in 2021 for an Aug/Sep 2022 release. It was presented at a big enough industry event in early 2022, and although there were no direct footage leaks from there, they showed a trailer which, by text description, is the exact same one that was released when the promo campaign kicked off in summer 2023. They were gearing up for a 2022 release.
But Ukraine happened, and the movie's plot deals with topics that made it a very bad timing. Nuclear bombs, Russia. Dolph Lundgren revealed too much of it in one interview around that time and started drawing parallels, and someone clearly reached out to him and told him to shut up.
Also, and this is another thing that most people don't know, but Expendables and the whole 80s action heroes thing is a big enough thing in Russia and other ex-USSR countries that Lionsgate didn't want to lose that market. Throughout 2022, they road tested releasing their movies in Russia through a shell distributor based in Cyprus. It's a fully legit scheme, legal distribution, no under-the-table deals, they just didn't want the bad PR of "Lionsgate is doing business with Russian distributors and cinema chains". After making sure that it works fine, they could now safely release Expendables 4 in Russia, which they did.
>I wonder what Statham's aging plan is, btw. He seems to be a health nut and he is great for 55-ish years old
You can ask the same thing about Cruise - who is even older at 61.
he can just do characters like the invincible grandpa from breaking bad/BCS
Statham is way easier to do this with. Both because of his lack of hair and his entire career except for Snatch and Revolver has been playing the exact same character everytime. He's gotta be the lamest action star of all time.
Sure, but imagine him at 80, he won't be able to pull off the kinds of roles that he does today.
There can be fun roles for the future 80 year old Statham, including some "badass old man" kind of roles, but there will be a very awkward transition period very soon where he will look too old for his current schtick and too young to be a badass old man. This is what I'm talking about in that message above.
>which really poisoned the whole concept of a celebrity president
Ronald Reagan was a celebrity president and he's responsible for fricking up the world way more than every president after him combined. If the american public learned nothing from him then they just won't learn at all.
>Ronald Reagan was a celebrity president
This was a decent amount of time before Trump happened. The public learned nothing - but actually "forgot" - because a lot of time passed.
The public doesn't have memory, not really, people do. That aggregate firsthand eyewitness knowledge and experience dies off and fades first into minority and then into oblivion.
If you put oprah winfrey up tomorrow that b***h would win in the biggest landslide you ever saw.
Is she still highly popular? I thought she was mired in a big scandal somewhat recently, something along the lines of her being fake, kind of like The Rock actually?

I'd rather have President Camacho from Idiocracy rather than The Rock. At least that guy had charisma and some initiative.
He recently said he wasnt endorsing anyone this time, and off course that made the looney liberals start sperging out and calling him a h h h h hecking trump loving nazi!

THE FUTURE OF MOVIEMAKING
Man, just make an animated movie at this point.
> make regular classic non-CGI scenes live-action with actors
> but make anything that would require massive CGI budgets a cartoon instead
> these two styles are combined in one movie
Are there projects like this, anons?
>Pees in water bottle to save time
>Is still regularly 7-8 hours late for work
I'm not sure how that's supposed to save time. I'm also not sure how actors are allowed to just constantly be late. There's so many stories of actors like Johnny Depp, Lindsay Lohan or Brando just consistently showing up hours late or not at all and still being paid millions of dollars even while costing the production millions more as they force people to just stand around waiting.
What other industry are people permitted to do that and get away with it?
>What other industry are people permitted to do that and get away with it?
Every industry where you are indispensable and the project basically stands and falls with you. This is usually owners fault because he pushes more and more of his stuff on you and then one day he realizes that he cannot fire you because the cost would be higher than the pain of keeping you around.
They should be made dispensable then. They're just grown ups playing pretend.
This is my current situation at work. Now they want me to work two positions because a guy is on vacation for the 4th time this year. Boss has even told me the company heavily relies on me and that theyve invested a lot and no one else can do what I do. But when it came to talking about raising my pay he suddenly didn't seem to think that way. So now I do what I want. I'm not doing 2 jobs, eat a dick.
Because at a certain level you can behave and act almost anyway you want, particularly when the movie hinges on you. Now I’m starting to take Vins side and believe Rock was the one showing up late and frickignaround
>There's so many stories of actors like Johnny Depp, Lindsay Lohan or Brando just consistently showing up hours late or not at all and still being paid millions of dollars even while costing the production millions more as they force people to just stand around waiting.
>What other industry are people permitted to do that and get away with it?
This is why I have no respect for Hollywood actors. They are all spoiled, entitled b***hes.
>There's so many stories of actors like Johnny Depp, Lindsay Lohan or Brando just consistently showing up hours late or not at all and still being paid millions of dollars even while costing the production millions more as they force people to just stand around waiting.
Lindsay Lohan was blackballed and paid dearly for being late and unruly. So let's not lump her in with the others. We lost so much potential kino in the 2010s because Hollywood turned her back on her.
>Lindsay Lohan was blackballed and paid dearly for being late and unruly.
It took so long for her to actually get blackballed and even after she did Paul Schrader gave her a chance on the Canyons and then she went and still did the same shit halting production for hours each day.
It's not about saving time, it's about bulking up. You see, The Rock overheard some people talk about how Batista got so swole. The problem is Rock thought they said Batista drinks his own piss, when in reality it's that Batista consumes his own jizz. So Rock's constantly drinking his own piss and getting pissed that his muscles aren't bulking the way Batista's did.
Listen, there are "degrees of bullshit you should put up with on actors depending on talent level".
Low-tier (immediately fire)-
The Pebble (TM)
Lindsay Lohan
High-Tier (they catch a warning but know they are so good they can ignore you and even you know it too)-
The Depp
The Brando
The secret to this is Depp and Brando will make you money for decades while being absolute trainwrecks. The other two are just casting coucher and nepo trainwrecks.
Sometimes studios will put a clause in the contract to recoup costs if the person is habitually late
I found skyscraper enjoyable
>constantly 7-8 hours late
>cost an extra $50M
Don't Hollywood contracts cover stupid primadonna bullshit like this?
What are you gonna do, fire The Rock who is the reason why this movie exists and why people will watch it?
Sue for breach of contract.
>fire The Rock
Why not? He's shit
Don't even have to fire him. If the contract stated he was to pay $xxx penalty for delaying filming, they could sue him after the production, and he would suddenly learn to be on time.
> If the contract stated he was to pay $xxx penalty for delaying filming
That don't work for me brother, next movie please
depends on how the contract is written and the star power. Some actors are chained very tightly to the schedule while others have basically full control. Like Kevin Costner
>RED ONE
Has anyone actually watched this movie?
It was going to be released in December 2023, for Christmas, because it's a Christmas action movie.
But the strikes happened, and The Rock couldn't promote the movie on his socials, which I imagine is a huge part of their planned promo campaign.
Sure, the strike ended in November, but it was too late. It was evident that very early into this strike the studio decided "if this doesn't get resolved within 2 weeks, we will miss the deadlines for the start of our promo campaign".
And again, mind you, this is a Christmas movie. You can't release it in June or something. So it got pushed by a whole year into December 2024 despite being finished.
Also, the strikes threw a wrench of incredible size into Fast & Furious. Follow along:
> Fast X is being filmed without The Rock who is too cool for this shit
> Black Adam fails, which is the newest one in the line of The Rock's underperforming or lukewarmly received projects, there's a lot of talk in pop culture about how his career isn't too hot anymore
> He caves in, agrees to return to F&F, films a cameo for the Fast X post-credit scene, and arranges the Hobbs & Reyes spin-off which is set to happen between the events of Fast X and Fast XI, and to be released between them
> SURPRISE MOTHERFRICKER STRIKES
> can't work on the script for Hobbs & Reyes
> can't film it
> the strikes cause Red One to be delayed by a whole year (see above)
> the strikes eventually resolve, but now you still need a script and all that
> to save his career and his image as an actor, The Rock signs up to film that indie drama about the UFC fighter, which takes priority
> even if Hobbs & Reyes has a rushed production after the indie drama, it will definitely not be ready for release by autumn 2024
> can't release it in winter (or even early spring) because that's too close to Red One
> therefore looking at late spring / summer of 2025 for Hobbs & Reyes
> can't put two Fast & Furious tentpoles close together, and they've always been summer blockbusters
> Fast XI is likely to be pushed into spring/summer of 2026
> could have been released in 2024 if not for all this bullshit
I like to imagine when the Rock strolls in eight hours late he goes up to sitting teamsters who are struggling to stay awake after hours of doing nothing and full of energy he pulls them their feet yelling platitudes at them like, "Come on, guys! Let's get to it, we've got a movie to make!"
I know a grip who worked on Black Adam, he said it was exactly like this. Dude talks in real life with the same inflection as his characters.
Does he have one iota of self awareness about what a phoney butthole he is?
It's funny I actually mentioned this movie months ago because I know someone working on it. It's going to be such shit.
A movie starring the Rock that wasn't shit would be a surprise at this point.
Worked as an extra for Ballers a few times. One day it’s a huge cattle call. 300 background actors show up at 6 am to fill the Rose Bowl (they did this thing called “tiling” where we all filled one section then got up and filled the next section so they could composite the shots later). We’re all on set (which again is the bleachers for the Rose Bowl) at 8 am and we’re just sitting around, baking in the sun (if you’re an extra the set medic will provide sunscreen but only if you ask for it, which I eventually did but they should have offered it at the start of the shoot day) waiting for the Rock to show up. Someone looks at his Instagram and realizes he isn’t on set because he’s working out. So we couldn’t start shooting until he was done getting a pump. He finally showed up around noon. That’s some punk ass jabroni shit frick you Dwayne. You know what I do when I get a job? Show respect for the rest of the cast and crew by showing up fifteen minutes before I have to be there!
>they did this thing called “tiling” where we all filled one section then got up and filled the next section so they could composite the shots later
Did you see any complex camera movement, or were they filming static shots from (I presume) predetermined positions? Because if the camera moves around on the field, things would have to be very precise for the stitching of actual captured angles to work.
The Rock is such a homosexual, pretends to represent the working man, yet literally does not give a frick.
why does he wake up at 4 am if he's going to be late to work anyway
Reality check, his time is infinitely more valuable than yours. You should thank him because he got you a bigger paycheck that day.
BASED WORK APPRECIATOR ANON.
There's a reason everyone considers The Rock a jobber.
And there's a reason everyone likes you.
Him getting a pump is necessary for his job. You're unironically just mad that you have to be a fricking extra getting treated like shit while a multimillionaire movie star... gets to act like a multimillionaire movie star.
Blatant hit piece. Likely paid for by Bezos.
Not surprised, he's a racist nazi incel
why are they turning on the rock? who did he piss off?
What was the last hit film The Rock led? I don't think he's the draw people seem to believe he is
Red Notice is apparently the most popular Netflix movie of all time. I don’t know anyone besides myself who has actually seen it, but I guess it was a mega hit.
Netflix likely promoted it very heavily, The Rock probably demanded good numbers no matter how they got them, and N fudged those numbers a lot, eg clicking on it is one view, or something shady like that
>N fudged the numbers
dont flippantly say that if you don't have proof otherwise it's just cope.
imagine simping for Netflix. Of course these streaming companies are exaggerating their numbers, there is no easy way to verify them
I'm not denying the possibility, I'm just saying you need proof of you want to say it about the literal #1 movie on their catalog.
Jumanji 2017 was definitely very well received. Jumanji 2019, not so much, but it still had a decent box office. Then again, I guess these are "ensemble" films.
The most clear-cut answer is probably Hobbs & Shaw.
I just want one more Jumanji while Karen Gillan is still hot. Please? 🙁
>What was the last hit film The Rock led? I don't think he's the draw people seem to believe he is
He's been consistently flopping the last few years.
>Red Notice is apparently the most popular Netflix movie of all time. I don’t know anyone besides myself who has actually seen it, but I guess it was a mega hit.
The fact that people won't pay for that movie tells you the Rock's career has taken a hit. And this is a guy that has extensive and even insane demands in his contracts if you want him starring.
>Jumanji 2017 was definitely very well received. Jumanji 2019, not so much, but it still had a decent box office.
Jungle Cruise (2021) was a super flop. Made $220M off a $200M budget when it needed it to make at least $400M.
Black Adam (2022) was a flop. Made $394M when it needed to make $520M or more.
>Jungle Cruise (2021) was a super flop.
When judging box office fails, I give a pass to anything released in 2020 and 2021, for obvious reasons.
Also, I think it's important to look at the overall reception and hype, not just box office numbers.
Going further back, Skyscraper was a very serious and noticeable misstep, and I got a distinct feeling that people were disappointed in Baywatch.
>When judging box office fails, I give a pass to anything released in 2020 and 2021, for obvious reasons.
Black Adam was October 2022. That was well after any remaining lockdown issues. Top Gun: Maverick released in May 2022.
>Also, I think it's important to look at the overall reception and hype, not just box office numbers.
Companies care about making returns, especially when we're dealing with big investment. For major studios that's anything in the hundreds of millions range.

What? You talk like a homosexual. Kys reditgay.
>Black Adam was October 2022.
And none of my words were in defense of Black Adam or any other Rock's projects.
Notice that my message to which your first reply was actually in agreement with your position, and is even stronger in picking at his career. Dwayne's troubles started even before Jungle Cruise or Black Adam.
>Notice that my message to which your first reply was actually in agreement with your position, and is even stronger in picking at his career.
I didn't say you did. I'm pointing out the lockdown excuse can't save him regardless.
>Dwayne's troubles started even before Jungle Cruise or Black Adam.
I stopped fw him when he did the Toothfairy movie. But the objective answer is that once they paired Rock and Kevin Hart more than one time, it was the beginning of the end for both. Hart would have become irrelevant without Rock by now, but Dwayne picked up some of that backlash and now he's the ones becoming progressively irrelevant. Hopefully, they both disappear.
>That's literally every "A list" star. Have you not noticed there isn't a single one under 30? Fricking hell, poor Harrison Ford will legit be doing Indy 7 hooked up to life support.
There's a difference between getting roles, and getting *starring roles* in films worth hundreds of millions. It's time for Dwayne and Hart to beat it.
>Skyscraper was a very serious and noticeable misstep
San Andreas movie was a shitty mess too. Like they collect all the components needed for such a movie, and do not realize there is more than just that to making a good movie.
>San Andreas
This reminded me of a pattern I noticed: apparently Dwayne likes to work with some actresses that he likes, but exactly TWICE?
Alexandra Daddario: San Andreas and Baywatch
Emily Blunt: Jungle Cruise and the upcoming Smashing Machine
Carla Gugino: Race To Witch Mountain, San Andreas
Karen Gillan: Jumanji 1, Jumanji 2
What's his problem?
Maybe they all share similar management companies and are all just thrown into the hot new formulaic slop by untalented and unimaginative slopmeisters.
here's a PR secret-
Rocky was never a draw.
But they just kept telling you he was.

Reynolds' entrepreneurial spirit was probably offended by Rock being late at all.

Oh, so they have an official synopsis now?
Judging by Rock's uniform in all these bts pics and by the title, I thought that he is supposed to be a pilot of some modernized Santa's sleigh or some shit. "Red One" like "Air Force One".
Rock and Bam, linked up!
Need it or keep it?

Yep.
Don't do the crime unless you can do the time, Mr. Pebbles.
Oh for sure.
No doubt Dwayne has been reasonably careful since he started becoming super famous, but with his kind of personality, I'm certain that there's something juicy from the early 00s or so.

Makes me think.
Yep, the rock is kino
The Rock has always been the new Arnold for zoomers. But hes also past his wrestling days and past the point of impressiveness. He knows it, his movies are shit. He cant act, his voice acting is ok. But you could get something better if you are looking for versatility and range from the guy who buffs the floors at night, or Mark Hamills muppet ass
Hes just trying to get some money to live, like many hollywood tards. Trapped in 60 million dollar mansions they paid for when they were making more money and now look like fools and dancing monkeys for the screen..
The Rock thinks he's bigger star than he actually is. His entire schtick is being the tough guy in an action/comedy while having none of the on charisma of Stallone, Arnold, and Bruce. He's barely a step up from Cena.
like a mexican
>piss in bottle to save time. still 8 hrs late.

It is because of Warner Bros.
Reminder that this "Insider" from The Wrap, Humberto Gonzales, is a plant hired by Warner Bros.
If he's always that late then how did he manage to spend months doing his latest WWE program? You simply can't turn up late to live shows under any circumstances and he was involved in a ton of stuff. If he was doing that on the set of a movie then it was a very selective choice.
>You simply can't turn up late to live shows under any circumstances
Lmao have you heard countless stories of Madonna being some 3-4 hours late to her own live concerts in venues?
And also,
>You simply can't turn up late to live shows under any circumstances
You just need to know what people/superiors you can't piss off, and who can frick right off. It's reasonable to expect that Dwayne thinks he can't piss off the boardroom of WWE, and also his fans in public. Meanwhile, the film crew is far below him. He is the most important person on the set of a movie produced by himself, not the noname director who doesn't have the weight to slap manners into him.
It's like I have this one friend who is chronically late to any gathering with friends or any activity. But you know to which events he isn't late? He isn't late to the airport to catch a plane, he isn't late to the railway station to catch a train. He knows that the pilots won't be waiting for him.
This is the reason for the smear on The Rock.
Warner Bros thinks that The Rock is the one spreading shit about James Gunn/Peter Safran hiring to be the new bosses of the DC Studios.
So they hired Humberto Gonzales, from The Wratp, to do a smear campaign on The Rock.
I'm still amazed Gunn managed to get uncancelled despite all the nasty shit he talked about
I wonder who he has blackmail on
Personally, I'm *more* amazed that Gunn walked right into that cancellation. Sure maybe you don't remember every single tweet that you ever wrote, but come on dude, you definitely remember the *kind* of tweets that you wrote. Just nuke your entire twitter history, or delete your account citing something something social media unplugging, wait for 3 months then come back with a clean new account.
That's what he did.
Now his Twitter deletes everything every couple months.
But this is now. Back then, people didn't find those old tweets through archive.org or some shit, those 10-year-old tweets were directly accessible on his account.
But that's because James Gunn have a lot of skeleton in his closet.
For example recently some of the people that hate the idea of him running DC found out about a book that he wrote, called The Toy Collector, where the protagonist, also called James Gunn, talks about how he finds children sexually appealing, how he once came inside a friend's cup, and other outrageous things.
Then there was the fact that he was personal friends with two guys that were convicted as pedophiles. Or that a minor was raped in a theme party inside his house that was based on How to Catch a Predator.
>is recorded saying that he won't openly endorse Biden
>this happens
Huh.
Know what's really interesting? I'm supposed to believe this about the guy that quite literally ripped his own garage door with his bare hands to avoid getting late to filming.
>/pol/tards have to pretend to love the Rock and his slop just because he said biden bad
Kek
Familia bros? will we ever stop winning?
w-whats the best way to get rid of old bottles like that
>piss bottles
So, was The Rock a gamer or trucker before he joined the WWF?
the rock is 6'6" so chris must be standing on a box. the rock wouldnt lie about his height.
All this talk about piss bottles reminds me of long-circulating stories about Stallone having a scat fetish and indulging in it with call girls in the bathrooms of hotels. And then leaving this mess there, and when the hotel complains, his representatives are like "you should understand that Mr. Stallone is a very busy man, he has no time for doing it separately on the toilet, hence he does it right in the shower"
What mental condition causes a person to piss in bottles? Because a not insignificant amount of people do it. Usually it's NEETs, but I've seen some generally "well put together" people fall into it, too.
For people with depression (which many neets are), it's general apathy / executive dysfunction. Same phenomenon as why people don't shower for days or lie in bed for hours. They aren't dumb, they know about the necessity of doing such and such action, but they can't force themselves to do a set of actions that feels like a complicated plan to their very weakened willpower. Getting up, walking down the corridor, messing with your clothes, preparing your bathroom towel and all the other stuff, getting into the shower, etc etc etc is a complex action. Just sitting in your chair and stinking is easier.
For high-functioning people though, I have no idea. Unless someone is super duper in the zone working on some project very urgently and they don't want to break their concentration for 2-3 minutes. In which case I still don't approve but that would be sorta understandable.
>allegedly
He gets to work 8 hours late then pees into bottles to save time? What now? Can you keep this bullshit consistent within a single post?
He's a very busy dude does all sorts of different shit. WWE desperately need him back to save their plummeting viewership ratings
They literally make millions of having a recognizable name and face. And they frick that up. Actual subhumans.
