3. "If by 'too many' A-listers you mean 'none,' then I agree..." In response to In response to 2 Sun May-12-13 07:20 PM by The Analyst
Don't get me wrong, it looks like a really interesting ensemble and shit, but I don't count a single A-lister on the whole cast outside of MAYBE Melissa Leo and that's a stretch.
Whitaker is a beast but he's more on par with like a Philip Seymour Hoffman. Great actor. If you want to call him an A-lister, fine, but I wouldn't. He ain't Denzel.
Then you got a bunch of very good actors, a bunch of pretty good actors, some washed-up former-A-listers, and Lenny Kravitz.
Also, if this thing is as trashy and pulpy as Longo thinks it's going to be (in other words, if it's even a FRACTION of The Paperboy), it ain't winning a damn thing...
