DOR may not be that strong with visuals but he always worked with good DPs like Hoytema, Sandgren etc.,

Just thinking about American Hustle if it were shot like The Tree of Life lol lol DOR will have to alter his rapid approach in order for this to work.....or maybe Chivo will have to adapt. They couldn’t be anymore different stylistically, but I guess they’ve conjured up something.....special? Margot is going to be gleaming off the screen like never before. And this will be a 4th collaboration between Bale & Chivo! The New World, Knight of Cups, What two I don't know of?

Well he [Bale] had actually started prinicipal photography for “To the Wonder” before dropping out and being replaced by Affleck. But that still counts! 😂 And the other one being this upcoming project. 🙃

But that still counts! 😂 And the other one being this upcoming project. 🙃 The list of actors that shot scenes for To the Wonder but got cut out or replaced is insane: Bale, Michael Shannon, Rachel Weisz, Jessica Chastain, Michael Sheen, Amanda Peet. I'd love to watch all that footage.

Damn JDW career is really popping off! Not a huge fan of Russell but the opportunity to see him working with Bale will be cool.

I wonder if he's replacing Michael B. Jordan. He isn't mentioned anywhere in the article.

Good for JDW. Not a big fan of David O Russell either, but it's another feather in his cap to work with big hitters like Bale. He's seen as someone at who can hang in that type of company, which is nuts considering he hasn't done much other than a lightweight show like Ballers and a handful of movies.
JDW has really impressed the industry with his work in Blackklansman and Tenet. Guy has a very big career ahead of him.

Looking at casting for DOR films, he just casts of the moment actors, repeats until their star power fades a bit and looks for fresh faces. I would still say Jordan is bigger than JDW, at least in terms of being recognizable to the public, which is probably why he was first choice. JDW was a total bore in Tenet but he was pretty funny in Klansman. Maybe comedy is more of his lane than drama, and if so, he may be a decent fit here.

JDW was a total bore in Tenet but he was pretty funny in Klansman. Maybe comedy is more of his lane than drama, and if so, he may be a decent fit here. JDW was fantastic in Tenet. The guy played exactly what he was given by Nolan. A stoic action badass with no name or even backstory, who moved a silly script and plot forward at a furious pace with complete conviction. Especially considering the absolutely essential physicality JDW brought to the role, I doubt many leading men could have done a better job. The role itself was far from Oscarworthy stuff, but he carried that thing like a leading man should. He was actually better than the script he was working with. I know the Awardsworthy set thinks little of JDW (though they seem to think little of most younger African-American leading men, including Michael B Jordan and Chadwick Boseman while he was actually alive, so it's pretty much business as usual. They all have to work much harder to win over skeptics than their white counterparts), but from my perspective, I understand when someone is giving the performance the material demands. JDW nailed Tenet, and for me was easily the best thing about that film (the biggest fault was the screenplay, not the acting).

Good for him but I would've loved to see Jordan with Bale and Robbie.

A role like that really calls for movie star presence/charisma and he didn’t have it. My hunch is that he’s better suited to smaller scale films and roles with comedic elements, but I haven’t enough to have a strong opinion at this point. AW loves Trevante Rhodes, Daniel Kayuula, Jonathan Majors, Lakeith Stanfield.. I’ve also seen quite a bit or praise for Yayha Abdul-Mateen II (and excitement about his possible Oscar nom) so I think it’s seriously unfair to act like that place has a problem with black rising stars. Jordan is pretty divisive with cinephiles in general, that’s not exclusive to AW.

The ones who got or are getting the most opportunity seem to be the most disliked on AW. That says a lot. The other guys you mention have not ascended to those heights of stardom (and half of them are character actors who can play leads, not traditionl leading men like the trio mentioned). The message seems to be don't be too successful. I don't trust the opinion of that board when it comes to these younger black leading men. I remember often reading how Boseman (a fucking fantastic actor by any stretch of the imagination) was supposedly wooden and boring, and remember rolling my eyes. That type of thing was way worse on IMDB back in the day than on AW, but my eyes are still open to it.

I’d be inclined to agree if I saw any evidence of AW turning on these people as soon as they started being groomed for A-list stardom, but in most cases the indifference and divisiveness was there from the very beginning. It’s not like we have any way of knowing who will become A-list.

It’s not like we have any way of knowing who will become A-list. JDW has only been around for about 5 minutes in movies and was obviously being groomed for A-list stardom out the gate. As soon as Boseman was being cast as every iconic black man in history, being supported by stars like Harrison Ford in things like 42, it was obvious he was being groomed to play all those big biopic roles Denzel Washington had aged out of, and that was people's first introduction to him. So his early stature was obvious, and the resentment he got for it on AW was clear. And Jordan became a defacto A-lister only two years after his breakthrough movie role ( Fruitvale Station was in 2013. But his career defining role in Creed was in 2015). These guys were all fastracked or all on the clear path to A-list leading man stardom pretty much from the jump. The resentment for them started early, but it was obvious all of them were being groomed as major leading men from when they hit the radar in movies. So yeah, I don't buy that.

Good to see Washington is forging his own path and getting opportunities with big-name directors . . . but I can't be arsed to drum up any excitement for a David O. Russell project.
