Because they aren't household names. Movies are investments and producers want to at least entertain the idea of a return, so they'll insist on casting an established star with drawing power over some guy from Instagram.
>>
>>214176566
Household names no longer exist. Sydney Sweeney had to be forced via a commercial naming her because no one knows who fuck that bitch is despite her being in a long list of popular movies I don't remember now already. I still don't actually know who Sabrina Carpenter is despite all the media spam.

None of the actors in the shitty Red Sonja movie I just watched are household names (and never will be). Except the guy who plays the Bad Guy, I've seen him in other stuff.

They aren't household names because that movie is low-budget shlock that wasn't produced by a big-time "Hollywood" studio/producer.

Because that's not how movie financing works. Financers want to know they can recoup their investment, saying "hey, I got this random no name slut" doesn't convince them, while saying "I got an A-list bimbo that pulls crowds" does.

I hate seeing this as an excuse every time this is ask. Neither can the ones they do hire! Just get the best looking cosplayer you can who can passably act and the audiences will be much happier. The reason it does happen is that the casting people and costume makers have a lock on the industry, and everyone in the industry is viscously opposed to anything that will shake up the status quo
>>

Because Hollywood sets really high standards for actual acting; just looking the part isn't nearly enough

Standards has never been lower, and when they were actually high, the same was true for beauty standards.

The actual choice is between
A
ugly, nepo, can't act, charisma void, doesn't look the part
and
B
attractive, fresh, maybe can do serviceable acting, possibily charismatic, does look the part

Considering the best actor of the Red Sonja was a fucking horse, I don't expect cosplayers would be any worse than the people that took quite a bite of the budget despite zero acting skills

>>214183826
This still depends country-to-country and even studio to studio.
Ironically, Millenium Media used to be very keen on hiring cosplayers, but changes in the management right before covid made them double down on stupid decisions on all possible fronts, including slashing their budgets to quarter of what they used to be, while making movies that demand twice the money they used to spend.

Gal Gados is ugly, can't act, can't do anything physical and doesn't look like the character that arguably made har "famous"

Lot of cosplayers are turbo womanlets and a lot of cosplay is about looking big and powerful… very easy and cheap to do that with low-quality pics and all the readably available editing tools.

But to make someone look bigger and stronger on film is costly and you have to factor in technical shit like OK now we can’t have the tall actor in the same shot. Yeah lots of actors are small but cosplayers are on a different level of 5’2”ness.

Do yourself a favour and watch the trailer of the new Red Sonja. Not the movie, God help you, just a trailer.
Then tell anyone with a straight face they couldn't replace the chick with literally ANYONE else.

Also, since you are a clueless retard, too:
Go watch Disappearance of Alice Creed. It's a great fucking movie, but you know what's also good about it? It made look Eddie Marsan, one of the smallest manlets in the British film industry look like a tough, TALL motherfucker. And he was the shortest person in the cast.
Next thing, you gonna discover LotR, you dumb fuck

>>214176477
Close the thread, this is the answer...

>>214175970
Because cosplayers aren't actors?
>>
>>214184489
If you think this only applies to big studios and movies you might be having a retard moment. Anybody who puts up money for a movie needs to be convinced they're going to get it back (and then some), even if they're putting 100k into a C-tier straight to MUBI horror movie.
>>
>>214184995
And neither are those hired to play those characters, on top of not looking like the characters, or good at all
your point?

This, Schwarzenegger is the perfect counterexample to "cosplayers can't act", first step is to look the part, acting is a bonus, not even required.

Regardless of how bad you think current actors are at acting, cosplayers are a lot worse. Personally I think acting is easy as shit, yet the amount of people that can't do it is staggering.

This is the Armageddon problem. Is it easier to make cosplay girls into passable actresses, or to make passable actresses into hot looking characters. You can train the cosplay girl to act, you cannot train the actress to look hot if she isn't. Just give some training to the cosplay girls and get them into barely-passabewl mode and the hotness will do the rest.
>>
>>214186538
My issue is that most of the time the cosplayers don't even look that good. The only thing they have going for them is costume accuracy, and costume designers for movies could easily do that if the producers and directors cared, which most don't.

>>214186387
Every other time I post something extremely fucking obvious some retard pops out to call me an indian or a zoomer or a boomer or a hillbilly or a tranny or whatever, but the balance between opposites is always so remarkable that the continued incidence just assures me I'm on point and bodying freaks left right and center.

Despite evidence to the contrary whenever see you a movie with Gal Gadot, some acting ability is a requirement.

man what the fuck are you talking about, barely any of them have quality costumes, the most successful ones wear the same shitty ali express cosplays as described else and just mog with their looks (or rarely dance ability or something)

In the end, this is the bigger reason to bring cosplayers into movies. They manage to get better costumes for a fraction of the cost, but they actually care about making them look accurate AND good. Hollywood wants everyone to think only certain costumes (the ones they make) will look good being filmed, but that's clearly cope. Most of the upper 5% of cosplay costumes would do perfectly fine in a film.
