Bale describes De Niro as "the bedrock of cinema" and says that "more than any actor in history, has done iconic roles that define American cinema" while De Niro sits next to him absolutely stonefaced. Stay tuned til the end of the video to hear De Niro awkwardly admit to never having seen The Dark Knight.

Jamie Foxx tells a funny story - just yesterday - about how Pacino made him feel at ease and helped him - and notes that one of the many reasons the GOAT IS the GOAT is how he differs irl from his more iconic film characters....

Michael Rapaport asks Alec Baldwin about these and what makes them great - but he goes sideways and mentions Brando, Stewart (Tyler will like!), Cazale, Duvall , DDL, Hopkins (Javi will like) on his own...... Javi , @tyler and also wallsofjericho who I know likes things like this also In this order: Blanchett Ed Harris Meryl Streep Jennifer Jason Leigh Brando Kristen Stewart Pacino @ 9:25 - this is great btw Cazale De Niro Duvall (incidentally Welles) DDL Hopkins @ ~ 19:00

Another actor of the moment Jonathan Majors (getting huge raves at Sundance for his performance in Magazine Dreams, a potential Best Actor Oscar contender) lists Denzel Washington as the level of actor he wants to emulate in his career. Majors also lists Meryl Streep, Daniel Day-Lewis & Philip Seymour Hoffman among other actors he see's as the ones to emulate.

Real cool to see the coming generation already putting PSH in that pantheon.

Majors has a potentially big year in 2023 with Magazine Dreams, Ant-Man 3, and Creed 3. Hope it works out for him.

Majors is very talented, so it's good that he's got ambitions to be seen at that kind of GOAT calibre level. Will be interesting to follow his career.

A great interview here with Halle Berry ahead of Losing Isaiah where she heaps praise and reverence upon Jessica Lange (starting at around the 2:20 mark) - she relates similar experiences to Lange in her own career (i.e. not being taken seriously as an actor initially because of her beauty). They are both brilliant in that movie - you should see it!

Fascinating interview with Timothee Chalamet where he pretty much admits to seeing Austin Butler as his main acting competition within his generation, but is always inspired by Butler's commitment to the work. So much so that Chalamet hired Butler's entire team (movement, dialect coaches etc) that he used for Elvis, to play Bob Dylan in his upcoming Dylan biopic.

Yeah, this seems to be a recurring theme with Butler. His preparation.

I remember when Lucas Hedges was supposed to be his main 'rival'.

Post by pupdurcs on Oct 17, 2023 22:31:26 GMT
I feel like Hedges was just an easy (and in hindsight lazy) guy to position as Chalamet's main rival because they were both guys of a similar age that broke out around the same time with Oscar nominated roles. But I think it was always obvious that Hedges didn't have Chalamet's "heartthrob/matinee idol" appeal, if we are being superficial. So he was never going to be competitive with Chalamet as a movie star/leading man. Butler has the whole heartthrob/matinee idol thing that Chalamet does, so in all aspects that matter (prestige, projects etc), Butler is probably his true generational "rival" (for now. It's early days for them. More actors will probably announce themselves soon enough as generational rivals for both). Also, Butler did very well to immediately follow-up Elvis with a strong project that got positive reviews for him, which help solidify that Elvis wasn't a fluke for him. The James Dean comparisons Butler is getting in many reviews for The Bikeriders probably have Chalamet shaking

Also, at 29, I suppose you could argue that Kelvin Harrison Jr could possibly be a serious generational rival to Chalamet and Butler (as he has their leading man attributes), but for all the acclaim and opportunities he's had, I feel like he's going to need a break-out hit (or an Oscar nomination) soon or he'll be left by the wayside. It's a brutal industry.
Though I've yet to be blown away by a Harrison performance, even though the industry seems to want him to happen. Haven't seen Chevalier yet, which could change my mind.

It's a brutal industry. Though I've yet to be blown away by a Harrison performance, even though the industry seems to want him to happen. I do think it's interesting that you qualify it with "leading man attributes," because I do think if we're weighing pure acting talent and skill, Jesse Plemons, Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield, and Barry Keoghan are all strong contenders for generational talents (all of whom I'd rate over Chalamet/Butler) and are all capable of playing leading roles, and Paul Mescal's on the rise (I know you champion diversity across media, and Mescal's conquering the stage with great notices and his TV breakthrough is extremely impressive; it just remains to be seen whether he can be a bankable lead, which Gladiator II will prove one way or the other). I'd also shout out Corey Hawkins as well. It is easy to compare Butler and Chalamet not just because of this, but because of the Dune: Part Two connection, where the Paul/Feyd dynamic really required getting an actor on Chalamet's level at least in a charisma/matinee idol-type role, which is definitely a bit of meta casting. Whoever was going to play that role needed to have that swagger and wattage, so even though I wanted Keoghan for that role, Butler does make sense. I'm not overly thrilled that they've made Feyd look the way he does, though; Feyd has to be handsome and approachable enough to galvanize people into wanting to follow him. But I trust Villeneuve knows what he's doing.

But I trust Villeneuve knows what he's doing. I forgot about Mescal. He's certainly developing a following and has the accolades, but I'm not certain how he'll do in the big "movie star" type of role. Very fine actor, but Gladiator 2 will be a big test for him. With Chalamet and Butler, I can easily see them having the kind of enduring A-list status afforded to DiCaprio and Pitt. I don't yet know if Mescal is that calibre of star, acting chops or not. Plemons is a character actor. So is Keoghan. Great actors though. Kaluuya I don't believe has the matinee idol/heartthrob thing going for him to that extent, though he's capable of being a leading man. He feels closer to a Samuel L Jackson star/character actor to me, than say another Denzel or Will Smith. Stanfield feels like another Terrence Howard. Too weird and erratic to really get that A+ list status. Like I said, "movie stars" don't actually announce themselves that often these days. It was obvious with Chalamet that Hollywood were going to put all their chips on him, and it was obvious when Butler broke out last year as well for him. Actually, if you count Jonathan Majors, he may be the best actor of his generation (only 34 years old, but has a gravitas usually associated with older actors) that could also be huge movie star. And he's got the matinee idol thing going for him because of his ridiculous physique. If Majors beats his assault charge (and recent developments/evidence suggests he will), then he's probably the guy for that late 20's/early 30's group.

Hmmmmm.....this thread wemt into a lot of diferent things not the thread subject -but Paul Mescal is the real wildcard here because Paul Mescal as far as I can tell has never done anything special on film - but there's a lot of people who will tell you he captured male depression so perfectly it's almost painful to watch.....which gets me to the "point" with him....has there been a more recessive - well maybe not ever - but in the recent past - than him so far? Maybe he's great in ways I've missed?Where he underplays so much you can accuse him of "not acting" - who has a performance that is the opposite - Streetcar which suggests he can give an entirely distinct Paul Mescal performance? THAT is what makes him special - I pretty much know how "good" Barry Keoghan and Jesse Plemons are - I have no idea about Paul Mescal.......he's closest to Bradley Cooper who gave a great performance onstage (The Elephant Man) that tops any of his work on film until recently - in a distinct change of presentational style. (I saw it, he could have easily won that Tony for it that year) It isn't that Mescal's done theater - a lot of guys do - it's that he had a triumph outside of what you "think" he can do .......I haven't seen it but........maybe if it comes to NYC

Austin Butler is quickly becoming something of a legend among fellow actors for his levels of preparation. Two of his Masters Of Air co-stars are asked by an interviewer who among their large ensemble cast could have been a real soldier, and both instantly reply Butler. They said he learned everything faster in boot camp than all these actors, because he was going home and studying and drilling everything into his head.

Butler again....this time from his Dune co-star Josh Brolin. Interviewer asks Brolin if there's a younger actor that has any reverence for and Brolin says Butler is the one. Says Butler works as hard as any actor he's ever seen work.
