I cant speak for all fans, but I think thats an unfair claim to make that people flip flop and need to be consistent with how they think of projects. I am not going to blindly support something just because tom is in it. I want to know who he is cast with and who is directing those projects because it gives me an insight in how I think the project will be approached.

I am personally not excited for fred astaire mostly because I think biopics have become formualic and predictable. They are oscar bait films. I would have preferred they make an original musical with original dance numbers rather than have someone emulate fred astaire and his dance numbers which are already iconic. (My lack of excitement again has nothing to do with tom)

However the announcement of paul king made me think of the project differently, he did the paddington movies, and he uses humour, colour and charismatic characters to explore really serious themes. Like maybe he might push the genre in a different direction. I think most people dont have tom hate agenda ( most either dont care about him or love him, those who hate him is actually pretty small)

While I agree we shouldn't be quick to dismiss something but I also dont think its fair to say people hate tom because they only become excited when other people are cast or when the director is announced.

Also I think its fair for someone to be less excited for a tom project if they didnt enjoy cherry and chaos walking or uncharted. Film twitter is not what influences peoples choices, some people dislike his movies because they truly didnt like his movies and are maybe less excited to watch one of his projects because of it, is it fair maybe not but it is what it is.

Nobody is saying that you have to just blindly support anything just because Tom is in it. That's your choice. MY issue is with fans who blindly HATE on a project before they even know all of the facts, before the movie has even started filming, before they've even SEEN the film...let alone even seen a trailer! 🥴

THAT'S my issue.

Why not just be neutral about a project until you get more info about it? SOME fans just go into long tirades about a film project announcement before a film has even started filming, and then when things have finished filming, then all of a sudden they're like: "Omg! Can't wait!!" When we know good and well that a lot of them were hating on the project when it first got announced. 🙄

Soooo....let me get this straight.... You're not excited about the FA biopic because YOU think that biopic films are "Oscar Bait" films?? 🥴 Girl WHAT?? 😅🤣

First of all.... Many people (critics and audience members alike) ENJOY biopic films. There have been way too many well-done biopic films done over the years to just say that we should just not make them because in your mind they are "Oscar Bait". Second, even if they are Oscar Bait films... So what?? Who cares?? 🥴

Actually, IMO... "Oscar Bait" films are really the films that MOST people didn't even see that year, let alone even heard of. They are the indie, smaller films that most people are like: "Huh??" when they win a ton of awards at the Oscars because most avg movie-going people didn't even watch them lol, but the Academy loooooves to promote those films because they're "high-brow", "artistic". Every once in a while the Academy acknowledges a film that is both well-done, AND popular with the masses. If that happens to be a biopic film, so what? If many people are enjoying a film, it might just be because....gee.... it was a WELL-Done film? Who cares what genre it's in?? I don't get your reasoning Anon. 🥴

Of course we all wouldn't mind seeing something "original", but that doesn't mean that films that aren't original (or are about real people in history) should just never be made. 😒 That doesn't even make any sense. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the FA biopic, and I think Tom will do a great job. 😏 To each his/her own Anon.

While I agree we shouldn't be quick to dismiss something but I also dont think its fair to say people hate tom because they only become excited when other people are cast or when the director is announced.

I never said that people "hate" Tom. All I said was that he was getting a lot of hate/backlash for taking on the TCR project. That's basically it. I actually think most people like Tom.

Btw.... Are you going to hate on the TCR project as well because it's not "original" and it's loosely based on someone's life? 😅 They've done tons of films about people with DID as well... Do we just hate on TCR also or feel like those films are "formulaic" or "Oscar Bait" because other films have been done about DID and actors have won Oscars for them? 🥴 I just don't understand your reasoning Anon. Obviously, we're all happy when great names are attached to a project that Tom is doing. :) I personally just prefer to W.A.S. before getting my panties in a bunch about a project that I know very little about. That's all! 😊 That was my main point Anon.

Also I think its fair for someone to be less excited for a tom project if they didnt enjoy cherry and chaos walking or uncharted. Film twitter is not what influences peoples choices, some people dislike his movies because they truly didnt like his movies and are maybe less excited to watch one of his projects because of it, is it fair maybe not but it is what it is.

You're free to feel however you wish Anon... 🤷🏾‍♀️ Nobody is forcing you to feel any type of way. I personally judge someone's roles individually. If it's one of my faves, I am cheering them on to have a great project, regardless of if their previous projects were "trash" or not (and I don't think most of Tom's projects have been trash either). But hey, you can feel "less excited" about Tom's projects because you didn't like some of his other recent films. Like I said, nobody is forcing you to feel a certain way. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I just think it's unfair when so-called "fans" bash him to no end on "Film Twitter" just because an announcement is out for one of his new projects. I remember that day very vividly. I went from being super excited to hear the announcement about a film that Tom was obviously very excited to be signed on with, to then being inundated by fans freaking out, hating on him, seeing the crazy tweets, and just feeling kind of sad for him that he was probably seeing all of that hate online when he thought the announcement would be something his fans were going to be primarily be HAPPY about. 😔

Idk...I just felt bad for him that's all. 😔 I also felt like the day was ruined. I went from being excited, to being kind of sad.

But like I said before Anon, you're completely FREE to feel however you wish to feel. That's the beauty of having our own opinions. 😊
