These two are so keen on reviving the Hollywood star system to the point they avoid starring in established franchises now they’re big names, but most of their successes (Top Gun, Twisters, Dune, Wonka) come from IP adaptations.
>>216045809sadly powell isnt close to chalamets level yethe needs to stop featuring in so many reboots and stay out of tv/streaming if he wants a better career
>>216045809Ah yes the Bob Dylan Cinematic Universe
>>216045878But Chalamets biggest successes are reboots. Dune and Wonka.
>>216045809Glenn should rape Anya Taylor-Joy until they make normal children
>>216046175that may be, but hes also proven his acting chops within those and others... that gay call film, conplete unknown... and marty supreme looks fantasticpowell? not so much...he really has to pick his roles and scripts better, let this film with wright be a lesson...
>>216046289ACU was notable for every character playing a musician doing their own vocals and playing their instruments, which in Dylan's case was hilarious because Chalamet's case he can actually play the fucking harmonica unlike Bob and whoever played Joni Mitchell could carry a tune
>>216046175Dune's an adaptation, not a reboot
>>216045878This.
neither of them are "big names."
>>216046404>ACU was notable for every character playing a musician doing their own vocals and playing their instrumentsSo it was Hollywood nepobaby theater kids living their dream of LARPing as 1960s greenich village faggot hipsters- holy shit kill me now

>>216046289Well the industry is desperate to turn Chalamet into the next Leo. It is kind of being forced HARD. I thought he was awful in the Dune movies. He has that issue where he sounds like he is mumbling when he speaks all the time and he is 140 pounds. So it is tough to take him seriously as an adult actor.But Chalamet is at least playing the Hollywood game. It isn't a coincidence that when he was making his big Oscar push last year he suddenly started dating Kylie Jenner, who is one of the most followed people across all social media in the world. Powell seems too scared to play that part of the Hollywood game so it is going to limit his star power.
>>216045809Chalamet is an actual draw, even a lot of his indie films (which rarely make bank in theatres) actually succeed. Powell is more lucky to be in films that end up succeeding. Plus the Top Gun sequel and especially Twisters are basically forgotten now. People talk about Dune, and Wonka is getting a sequel, these films have more in terms of cultural impact.
>>216046565its not hollywood per se, i think its just chalamet himself picking smart projectspowell needs to wisen up quickly... hes much older...honestly surprised, i thought he would have walked away listening properly to whatever advise cruise gave him and then he turned around to do a streaming series?
>>216046786Powell needs to date other stars and stuff to play the game. That is what Cruise, Leo, Depp, Pitt, Willis, all did. That is what Chalamet does.
>>216046729I don't think the Top Gun sequel is forgotten about. I feel like people constantly ask when Top Gun 3 is coming.
>>216046817na dude look at cruises filmography its just up and into high gear on and right after risky business i dont just mean box office, the wide genre of films and his performances glen and others at his age dont have a chance to reach that level now with all this capeshit saturation but they could maybe get close if they pick the right films
>>216046876Cruise was banging the top stars all the time too and constantly talked about in the press. It is part of what helped his star grow. That is part of the Hollywood game. Powell doesn't play that and it will hurt him in the long run when he is at a point where he is trying to grow his image. But Cruise is a shit comparison to make since Cruise had been leading movies since his 20s and Powell didn't lead one until he was in his mid 30s.
