>The movie chronicles Knievel’s attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon on his rocket-powered Skycycle in 1974. Leonardo DiCaprio was originally attached to star, but dropped out in favor of other projects.https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/10/6/report-glen-powell-eyed-to-star-in-damian-chazelles-evel-knievel-goes-on-tour
itt: actors you're tired of seeing
I'm starting to get Glen Powell fatigue
>>215086288>>215086291He's in like one movie per year.
He seems to be more age appropriate for the role than Leo. Since Knievel was in his late 30s when he tried that jump the movie is going to be based around, and he will be way cheaper than Leo too, but does anyone care about Evil Knievel in 2025? Unless it is made for like $20 million or something very cheap I don't see it doing well.
>>215086288>>215086291>>215086410I don't have any opinions about him, but he's an obvious industry plant and it is kind of grating to see him shoehorned into the scene. Same with Sydney Seeeney.
>>215086271>Glen Powellfor me it's his performance in The Dark Knight Rises (2012) as Trader #1
charisma blackhole
>>215086288>>215086291It's like they finally find one actor who gets a good audience reaction and just shove them in fucking 20 movies a year for a few years until everyone is sick of them
>>215086271How will he shoehorn a sanctimonious jazz musician into being the moral center of the film this time?
>>215086545I think he is the opposite of an industry plant since he didn't break out until he was already in his 30s. He was a struggling actor for a decade before he got any traction. Obvious industry plans are like that Chalamet guy where the industry is desperate to turn him into the next Leo.
>>215086271If this was 15 years ago Will Ferrel would be playing this part
>>215086463>does anyone care about Evil Knievel in 2025?No. Nobody really cares about anybody or anything in 2025.
Are they gonna mention the fact that his career was ended by Jews after beating the fuck out of his spiteful Jew manager for trying to defame him with a "tell-all" book full of bogus allegations
He's secretly gay. You never see him hooking up with any other celebs.
>>215087563This story was infuriatingHe got dragged through the mud and lost sponsorship deals for smacking a little sense into a slanderous troublemaker
This motherfucker isn't white, he is a tatar.
>>215086271The guy is more like Jeremy Allen White. Chazelle going for more polished revisionism crap
biopics are the lowest form of movies. disgusting.
>>215086271I recommend everybody watch Viva Knievel. It's an insane film.
We almost got this exact same story 5 years ago in a series that was canceled because of Covid. Tragic because Sarah Gadon was going to be in it.https://deadline.com/2020/07/evel-knievel-limited-series-starring-milo-ventimiglia-scrapped-usa-network-casualty-covid-shutdown-shopped-1202985305/>Evel is based on the story of Evel Knievel (Ventimiglia) as he prepares for his greatest death-defying feat — the historic Snake River Canyon jump. Evel is an exhilarating portrait of a complex man living the American dream, juggling meteoric celebrity and raising a family — and facing the very real probability that his next jump will kill him.
>>215086271why won't he make a real movie instead of those shitty inspired by true events craps
>>215086271I wish he would go away
>>215086271Why is hollywood still acting like "star power" matters anymore? Aside from like 3 actors, nobody gives a shit. How about casting a good actor who can actually make it a good movie instead of just praying that whichever industry plant you cast will make it profitable?
>>215088472normalfags don't care about quality, the horrendous Lilo & Stitch remake made a fucking billion
>>215088472Who is a good actor?
Euro anon here, is this stuntman's name deliberately meant to sound close to "evil cannibal"?
>>215088696His real last name is Kenievel. As for the Evel part he said:>Knievel's website says that he chose his nickname after spending a night in jail in 1956 after being arrested for reckless driving. In the same jail that night was a man named William Knofel, who had the nickname “Awful Knofel”; this led to Knievel being referred to as “Evel Knievel”
