Honestly don’t understand why they keep putting him in movies
Well it’s produced by Leto, so ask him why he put himself in it.
Oh, damn, someone needs to take his money away he keeps spending it on terrible actors
Eh, as much as the dude creeps me out, he was phenomenal in WeCrashed. Probably because the character was relentlessly insufferable.
Suicide Squad and Morbius were awful scripts, I don’t think anyone could have saved them. I also get the sense that sci-fi/fantasy isn’t really his jam, so I’m not hopeful when it comes to Tron.
Doesn’t he have a sex island for his cult?
Hypothetically, how would one acquire one of those? Asking for a friend.
The sex island or the cult? I think cocaine and collect blackmail on a sizeable fraction of Hollywood is a start in both regards.
Ooh ooh, I know this one!
Is he considered a bad actor?
He’s a… method actor. He’s one of those guys who will literally live in the role until production is finished, on and off camera.
He got a lot of hate for playing Joker in Suicide Squad (the first one), not only because their version of Joker was a cringey edge lord instead of the brilliant psychopath he’s usually portrayed as, but also because, while he was “in character,” he did a bunch of awful things to his costars, including mailing them used condoms. All because his character would’ve done those things and he was trying to live out the role in real life.
Then he acted in Morbius and was again awful to deal with until filming was wrapped, and it sparked a whole debate over whether method actors were even good actors in the first place.
I mean, as far as I’m concerned, if you can’t seamlessly slip into a role when the cameras turn on, then you’re kind of a shitty actor. If you need to adopt the role and be that character for the entire production timeline, then you kind of suck at acting. But that’s just my opinion.
I imagine most of the time, method acting doesn’t really produce a better result for the audience. I will say one of my favorite movies, Man on the Moon, was done with Jim Carey doing method acting and I can’t imagine that movie being the same if he didn’t. For yet another blah-tier superhero movie, probably not worth it, but on the rare dramatic role that calls for it, I can understand its use cases.
Have you watched the behind the scene documentary for Man on the Moon though? Because Carey was being an asshole too…
I also enjoyed the method acting used for the movie ABED.
How about we just have a rule that method actors can’t play evil characters?
I don’t think he was until his ego caught up with him. Then whatever you see him in, it’s just Leto ‘acting’, not the character. No immersion.
He also runs a sex cult so there’s that too.
And thirty seconds to mars was a terrible band.
If I ever have to hear the kill again it might, ironically, drive me to kill someone.
Same reason why half of MTVs time slots are ridiculousness.
Awful people with money become producers and self insert themselves into everything.
I don’t care who stars in it, unless they can get daft punk back together to do the score I give zero fucks
Bruh, they didn’t even get last Tron movie’s director back. You know, the guy who went on to direct Top Gun: Maverick.
Instead they got the guy who directed Maleficent 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
Bro only deals in sequels.
I have mixed feelings about Leto, but I do have a hankering for another Tron movie. The last one was like the first one but on steroids with Daft punk and everything. Listened to that soundtrack a million times.
Hope they/he doesnt mess it up to bad…
Check director’s record.
This is probably going to be made by committee movie going through a checklist with standard action setpieces made by CG team with minimal to no input from the director.
Oof.
“You wish now that our places had been exchanged…that I had died and
BoromirBruce Boxleitner had lived.”“Yes. I wish that”
I dunno, he’s weird as fuck, but he can turn in interesting performances because of that. Could work.
I thought he was great at playing a creepy megalomaniac in Blade Runner 2049
I hate Jared Leto cause I never be able to identify it’s him until credits are rolled. I don’t mind his acting or personal life but it’s so defeating to me when I can’t identify.
… to Mars
Can’t believe this thread was up for 2 days before someone made this joke.
