Try not casting for the name and cast for the part.
People don't give a shit who is in the next big blockbuster like they used to. There was a time when an Arnold movie would be awesome and we would go because it was Arnold. Now I wanna see a nobody that is cast for the character because they are good. Big names destroy the magic, when I see Jack Black is cast I instantly can't think of anything but "You don't always have to fuck her hard"
That is just not true. Star power sells.
Like when the Ballerina movie started putting Keeanu on the posters because it wasn't getting much hype.
It feels like Hollywood is 90% legacy actors at this point which is bullshit. Let new talent in!
