>An update about A24’s “Huntington,” starring Glen Powell and written/directed by John Patton Ford (“Emily the Criminal”). I received a few emails from readers claiming that the trailer is currently playing in select theaters during showings of “The Running Man.” I can confirm that this is correct. >This might also turn out to be a second straight disappointment for Powell, who is coming off the lukewarm opening of this past weekend’s “The Running Man,” which finished in third place at the box office with a $16M debut. After “How to Make A Killing,” Powell is expected to appear in J.J. Abrams’ “Ghostwriter,” which might also be aiming for a 2026 release.
>>216039308His face is too small for his head
>>216039308Honest question, why is the fault of actors that directors and screenwriters can't do good films this days?Glenn does his job, acting, it's not his fault that those films suck or people aren't interested, specially in the short-span / slop-pandemic era.
>>216039308I always knew this guy never had the makings of a varsity actor.
>>216039362>Honest question, why is the fault of actors that directors and screenwriters can't do good films this days?>Glenn does his job, acting, it's not his fault that those films suck or people aren't interested, specially in the short-span / slop-pandemic era.This doesn't stop the wokes from going apeshit when Sweeney's movies flop at the box office.
>>216039362nobody is forcing him to take paychecks for awful sequels or choose terrible scripts. he has no taste and isn't very interesting as an actor.
>>216039308Has anyone seen Running Man? I heard they hastily and sloppily changed the ending to neuter it.
>>216039308I hate this fucker's boringly handsome generic American guy face.
>>216039398Chuds are really losing their mind over Sweeney. Her last movie is a biopic about a butch lesbian boxer but in their minds she's sticking it to the left.
>>216039452>This doesn't stop the wokes from going apeshit when Sweeney's movies flop at the box office.>Case in point.
>>216039362>man whos face is face of awful product becomes associated with awfulif he wanted to not be associated with failure he should have gotten into finance
>>216039405>having the luck to work as an actor and actually make a living of it>according to anon you must become a picky actor and only work in "LE HECKING ARTHOUSE" pedo french film that only it's known by intelectualoid fags and got 1k in box officeC'mon, anon.
>>216039362I don't think this would be an issue if Glen didn't market himself as "the next Tom Cruise" every time a film comes out. He's constantly having his PR team push him as an A-lister, the nice guy with a pretentious family who all make appearances for his PR, the next big thing in Hollywood, and yet he's constantly picking roles where he plays the same character (basically typecasting himself).
>>216039485He was cool in Scream Queens.
>>216039308How to make a killing sounds better anyways
>>216039525That was 10 years ago Anon, let it go.
>>216039499So, what should he do, then?
>>216039432He's like the male version of Natalie Dormer to me for some reason. But she's British.
>>216039468I like Sweeney, I'm just pointing our that her output if mostly woke with some sex shots to sell merch to rightoid simps, and it's amusing how they think she's their icon.
>>216039568I’m not right wing I just get called it because I hate woke faggotsI like Sydney because she pisses off people I hateShe’s an actor she can take whatever role she wants
>How To Make a KillingSurely they realize the irony.
>>216039548I discovered past week and felt refreshing af.I know it was 10 yo, but Ryan Murphy wants to do a S3 and Glenn wants to return as Chad (I know, he died in S2, some ultra-rich excuse will happen for his return). Glenn as a comedy actor is great.
>>216039308should have gone for those jurassic world movies, what an idiot
Few people have a more punchable face then Glen Powell
More like Glenn Poopoo
>>216039362An actor being in a movie supposed to be a draw. If they dont draw on name recgnition alone then they are no star.
>>216039405>Just dont workMoney is money, not every movie an actor makes is going to be a box office hit
>>216039701Used to be that way but the current model is geared to prop IPs rather than actors, because execs don't want to pay for them. People won't care about who'd the actor as long as they're watching Batman or whatever other capeshit character.If Tom Cruise had been born in 2000, he wouldn't have made it as a movie star.
>>216039493After TG:M and Anyone But You he literally did have his pick of whatever script he wanted. He chose a Twisters remake, a Running Man remake and made the cringefest Chad Powers series. Once again he's a boring replaceable lead that chooses lame and gay projects.
>>216039553TV, comedy, not a one-person lead role, but an antagonist playing with someone else. Be someone who works up another character. He needs someone to jam with, basically. What happened was that, as the main lead, his presence was easily overtaken by better actors, and his trying harder came across as forced. It works better if you're not competing for that leading role position, but instead buddy up (sort of speak). Also, stop trying to be Tom Cruise's protige and create your own identity. So far, all he's shown has been him playing a character so that he's liked by everyone.
>>216039701What kind of bs is this? An actor acts, if he is really really good, then he becomes a "star".But most of the time you don't need a star, just an actor that do his job well enough to make you have a good time.
>>216039422did you really expect them to keep the original 9/11 ending?
A girl from the Running Man reboot is cute.
>>216039362Writers/directors can continue to get work after a flop or two if they have a decent track record, but they'll essentially be in movie jail and will be asked to play to their strengths or forced to accept assignents they might not favourActors are essentially the face of the movie, meaning audiences are less forgiving if they're attached to movie which does badly. For an up and coming actor like Powell, a flop will particularly hurt their career
>>216039807>What kind of bs is this? An actor acts, if he is really really good, then he becomes a "star".They thought he was a star, the budget required someone of that calibre, but it all started going wrong when they shifted the narrative to "but people will watch this because of the director, it doesn't matter if the main character isn't well known, he's trying". Now they are blaming management. Bet Glen won't admit that it was kind of a mistake to pass on Jurassic Park and do this instead.
>>216039308The running man is already known as the remake man, starring in mediocre films and remakes. Hope you're ready for that Back Draft remake with this guy.
>>216039826I expected them not to recreate the exact conditions for that ending up to the last 15 minutes of the movie if they weren't going to implement it.
>>216039782>>216039880I get your points.>>216039769>Twisters remakeApparently that one worked.>>216039835>Actors are essentially the face of the movie, meaning audiences are less forgiving if they're attached to movie which does badly.Feels weird, because I never experience that despite all the films I have watched. If an actor is good and the film sucks, I'm going to still like the actor.If an actor is bad but the film is good, I'm not going to like the actor.
>>216039362Glen Powell is a charisma blackhole and audiences can sense it
>Original ‘Running Man’ Writer Reacts to Glen Powell Movie’s Soft Opening: “I Was Rooting for It”>Steven E. de Souza tells The Hollywood Reporter that adapting the book's ending has had its challenges: "Something went wrong between the page and the stage again.">De Souza says he has read analysis detailing perceived reasons why the new film may have underperformed in its opening, including that the crowd skewed heavily male. THR’s chief film critic David Rooney wrote in his review of Powell’s The Running Man that the movie “has no shortage of action and adrenaline” but “ends up feeling hollow.” It holds a 65 percent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.>“What people are saying is there was very little in the marketing here that would appeal to women,” de Souza says. “There definitely is some validity to that. Science-fiction always skews male.”Hollywood writers think they should've pandered more to women in the male-dominated genre. More woke and DEI is always good. Good.
>>216040007>Apparently that one worked.It was a hit in the US, but a flop in Europe (despite Twister doing okay in Europe). But again, he played Hangman in Texas, and he was not the main lead of the movie. I also think his popularity was higher due to ABY and TG:M still being pretty fresh. His Hit Man movie was relatively unknown since it hit Netflix and was okay-ish, and his last TV show might be on Disney, but is also unknown outside of the US.
>>216039308Something damming about this movie I heard is that it's anonymous filmmaking. Wright was either heavily restricted or simply phoning it in like he's Guy Ritchie.
>>216040093>Hollywood writers think they should've pandered more to women in the male-dominated genre.Powell does okay with the female audience, but has little to no traction with a male audience. This is why they put him in a tiny towel at the start of the movie, to please the female fans.
how do you “fall from grace” if you never had any grace at all? No one knows who this person is or cares.
>>216040229Wright also showed his ass but no female nudity. It was a great choice for a heavily male audience.> “The Running Man's” audience was 63% male and 70% between the ages of 18 and 44
He was good in "Hit Man", "Anyone But You" and "Twisters".Who greenlit doing remake of "Running Man" (1987)? How dumb are they? That movie was lightning in a bottle, with one of the most iconic actors of all time, on a hot-streak after Conan, Terminator, Commando, Raw Deal, Predator.You can't manufacture lightning in a bottle, least of all Edgar "Reddit" Wright with a 2025 squeaky-clean, woke remake. Hollywood execs are truly retarded.I didn't even know it was out in my country. I checked my local cinema. The next 8 showings have 12 seats booked total.
>>216039362He looks like an android pretending to be human
>>216040388>I checked my local cinema. The next 8 showings have 12 seats booked total.5 people when I watched it.
>>216040388>Who greenlit doing remake of "Running Man"?This is the age of IP. They'll scrape the nostalgia barrel clean for as long as they can, and Stephen King adaptations are big right now. We've had like what, five this year?
>>216040388>>Who greenlit doing remake of "Running Man" (1987)?I think Wright wanted to do this film for a long time.
>>216040461Bullshit. None of his style is in any shot of it, this has Work for hire written all over.
>>216040388TRM 2025 is an adaptation of the original book. Thing is, the book was shite. The 1987 movie had the right idea by turning it into a fun action blockbuster
>>216039362because as an actor its your job to read the script and be able to know at least to some degree whether its a role worth doing or not, you cant just blame the filmmakers/writers, like okay its a bad script, but you took the role, thats on you
>>216040388Nice symbol.
>>216039525I learned like a week ago that this guy played Chad on Scream Queens. I'm not a big fan of his, but I have to agree he was cool there.I you like comedy in general, give Chad Powell a try.
>>216039308> How to make a killing> movie bombsfalse advertising
dunno why this board is so anti-glenn, he's okay for me desu
>>216039308I've literally never even heard of this guy until last week when every youtube channel started shilling him
>>216041046I like Glen Powell. I just don't like the idea of a modern, dull Running man-remake.Timothy Chalamet or Jacob Elordi wouldn't be able to carry this film either. It was just a bad idea from the start. I don't think I will even torrent this.
Every stars movie has flopped this fall
>>216039701No one cares about actors like that anymore.
>>216041171yeah I meant the posts that seem to be specifically about him; I'm not watching that remake either
>>216039701Even the biggest A-list top billing actors have flops nowadays.Zendaya, Pugh, Cavill, Anya Taylor Joy, Jenna Ortega, Timothy Chalamet all have recent flops."Challengers" cost 55m and made 100m. But the marketing for that movie must have cost at least 55m also. I was seeing one ad for it every commercial break on tv for a full month.
>>216041432>Cavill>A-List actor>Recent flopHe's had recent and not recent flops. He's had nothing but flops for quite a few years.
>>216039432I don’t even think he’s handsome. He looks like an advertisement for a realty company. You’re right. He’s generic.
>>216041980>He's had recent and not recent flops. He's had nothing but flops for quite a few years.Citation needed.
>>216042011What's his most recent hit?
>>216042185I accept your concession.
>>216039308I like Glen as a side-character like in Top Gun, but I don't think he's top talent, A-lister, main character kind of guy. Not everyone has to be.
>>216040388>remake of "Running Man" This remake is so cringe, I didn't make it past 6 minutes. A total Leftist paradise, this movie is.I suppose they still aren't learning, well, I saw an article posted recently, saying "that place" over in the sandy area is now the most depraved places on earth, so it's no wonder that hollyweird continues like this.
>>216042350The movie is pretty accurate to the novel.
>>216040429this plays a bigger role than we think , this dude smiles in the most douche way imaginable and that's no hate - it doesn't feel genuine at all , there's an air of smugness to him no matter how he seems. Like Ryan Gosling is way more handsome than this dude but Ryan strangely feels humble
>>216039308wokeness has wonglen and sydney have lost
>>216042220LMAO. I bet you wanted to count Deadpool, Enola Holmes or another movie where he's got a 30 second cameo as a hit. Cavill's a washout.
"Chris Pratt is unavailable for the role, someone get Glenn Powell on the line"
>>216041171Chalamet was great in A Complete Unknown because he played Bob Dylan as a shallow asshole pseud
>>216043816>Chinese eyes
>>216043816woke has flopped as always
RIP Glen Powell's A-List career 2024-2025 you won't be missed
