do you think there are ever identical twins who are actors who have markedly different levels of fame? like does anybody look at Aaron Ashmore and go "no, he won't do, we need Shawn in this role or nobody."

#has a role ever been recast with someone's twin #like twin 1 got sick of a series or was busy filming a movie #so they cast their twin instead? #feels like it would be super convenient if you were a showrunner #to have a cast member who was a twin #like that one episode of btvs where xander gets duplicated #and one of the duplicates is played by nicholas brendon's twin brother

Michael Craze pops up as Vince Kelly, a teenage runaway from a borstal centre, in Gideon's Way: Boy With Gun (1.23, ITC, 1966)

#fave spotting #michael craze #ben jackson #doctor who #gideon's way #1966 #boy with gun #itc #a relatively rare fave spotting! outside of his DW work‚ Mike didn't make a huge amount of appearances in cult tv‚ at least not many that #survive or are easily seen; he'd previously starred in Target Luna‚ a completely lost serial‚ but didn't return when the show carried on as #Pathfinders in Space (oddly‚ perhaps because of a change of director‚ every single returning character was recast) and beyond #there were also episodes of Dixon pf Dock Green and Armchair Theatre but these are also in all likelihood lost tv; others‚ like an ep of #Hammer's sci fi anthology Journey to the Unknown‚ are frustratingly unavailable to the average viewer (I was really hoping Network would #do something with JttU after they announced an agreement with Hammer but alas it wasn't to be) #mike would have been about 22 when filming this ep (around May '65) but was still largely playing juvenile parts as here #(his age isn't given but as a borstal runaway he's clearly intended to be a teen); this aired in feb or march '66 in most regions‚ by which #time he had presumably been cast in DW (or very near to it; he'd debut in The War Machines in June of that year) #DW would act as a sort of transition for Craze from youth parts into adult roles (i mean Ben's own age is debatable but I'd say he's surely #meant to be at least 18?). there'd be some more guest spots and a few horror films to come (he was a regular collaborator with Norman #J. Warren) but he doesn't pop up with the regularity of many other Who companions so this was a lovely little surprise (zero memory of him #being in it from when i first watched years ago)

am i the only one still weirded out by sokkas actor lying about being indigenous or did i miss something. like was that false information or did he apologize and were like well hes a kid so whatever or how is it. it just felt like such a huge deal back then and then everyone stopped talking about it

oh yeah! i forget what i've posted on this blog versus what i've talked about with friends online and in person, so i may have not said it on this blog. ive personally been pirating the live action, because im not sure if theyve ever commented on this. if anyone knows what came of it - if there was any acknowledgement by netflix, etc? i'd love a link. it is weird & sour point for me watching especially w sokkas char. and id totally get why people wouldnt wanna watch the show at all because of it.

#cal answers #ask #anon #ive personally been really wanting to see gordons performance as aang #+ wanting to judge the live action myself versus forming opinions on what ppl are saying #so its why im tuning in at all #but yeah im pirating it bc i just havent seen any public comments about it? i dont really know what came of it and i want to play it safe #i think the info came out at the end of filming? so idk if theyre planning on recasting later if they get a s2 or what.... #i dont have a lot of info on it anon so im sorry i cant share a lot but i just want to acknowledge ur def not alone!

Warner Bros really saw this film dying in theatres basically...and decided why not kill it even more by...putting it on something only Crypto Bros are obsessed with and use. Truly going for Morbius' throne here.

#the flash #warner bros #film was already dead cause of wb refusing to just recast ezra #but now they wanna kill it even more

Who would’ve you casted for the Ms and Mr Smith remake? And thoughts on the actual cast and were u a fan of the movie?

I mean, after @riosnecktattoo got this ask today, I now want Manny and Christina, haha.

But okay, if we're talking like - - major movie, and with the main criteria for starring in Mr and Mrs Smith being y'know, actors who are hot, charismatic action stars though, I think for re-casting I'd go Lashanna Lynch and Chris Pang, because I love them both a lot and think they'd be so sexy trying to kill / fuck each other.

It's been so long since I've seen the original, I'm not sure if I have all that many thoughts on it, to be honest! I do remember Angelina Jolie being great in it though, but I find she's pretty solid in most of her movies. It might be time for a rewatch ;-)

#mr and mrs smith #recastings #film asks #fun fact: i grew up with the tomorrow series books #and while i have complex feelings on them now because of y'know #time and context and john marsden being john marsden #i really loved lee as a character when i was a kid #and chris pang was honestly everything to me in the role in the (very average haha) movie #so he has a very special place in my heart #welcome to my ama

reminiscing on the period where i didnt know sawashiro was modeled after ttm and the second i learned and embraced that it 1000% altered the way i drew him These Are Not The Same Bitch

#snap chats #i still remember the day someone inboxed me that fact like ik i mention this story every three seconds but its still so funny #like The Beginning Of The End For Me <- i became somehow even more wacko #thank you for singlehandedly changing the trajectory of films and movies id watch for months anon ill cherish you forever #this post is brought to you by one of my fave artists being like. with whatever jpn knowledge i have to translate. #'if i draw sawashiro as a man in his 50's it wont look like ttm... im glad he's a beautiful girl...' #LIIIIIIIKKKEEE SO TRUE BESTIE.... ttm is the prettiest girl ive ever seen this is true #the cool thing about ttm is that he has incredible range however this does not negate the fact he is Very Pretty #this just a restated version of that post i made the other day LMAO LIKE MECHANICALLY ttm can play sawashiro. very well even #And I Repeat rgg not committing to making 90's sawa look like ttm in his 30's was Majorly To Their Benefit #he can have the voice of a no-bullshit yakuza yet he still has the face of an angel its very funny all things considered #on the real tho its so funny like i only drew sawashiro like. idk five times before actually referencing pics of ttm #yet the difference is like night and day he ACTUALLY looks like a jackass. and much older than 38 BYE #its 1000% the lips. and the doe-like eyes but anyways im sick #i love being seen i love being heard... thank you how_to_open #i should redraw my first sawa drawing... or second.... my first sawa drawing was the one with masato im p sure #the second one's just a headshot so it'd be a better focus on how i draw sawashiro differently.. lol... #its like when rgg recasts a chara and their model just different as hell. amazing. #srry i mention how pretty ttm is eveyr three seconds this isnt healthy and ill stop until im reminded of the fact later on #ok bye i have to take an exam. “”“”“take an exam”“”“”“ all of the answers are on google BYE

im hoping that the movies greta gerwig is apparently attached to direct are previously unadapted ones cause it's not been long enough since the original 00s lww-dt run for it to have really faded from the public consciousness and it would feel very much like retreading old ground. saying that, she's an insightful and compassionate director with a good eye for set design and creating a very immersive world, so i think if the rumours pan out they'd be good films!

#im a little nervy about how she might handle the problem of susan if she does the last battle but i doubt that one's in the running #it involves too many characters + a lot of parallel narratives. it would also require a new set of pevensies which as i said #i don't think they're gonna go in for. or they shouldn't if they're smart #i would assume it's the magicians nephew and the horse and his boy. or possibly the silver chair #(will poulter you were an excellent eustace but seeing as it was only the one film they could easily recast that role) #idk. far too early days yet to know anything im just Musing #and when i say nervy about susan i just mean in that it's important to me that susan's narrative is about losing your faith #not about lewis being sexist. which i flat out don't and never have thought was an accurate reading of that plotline #there's elements of period typical attitudes towards a certain sort of femininity in the text there sure. but susan is the lewis insert #in that book. she's him that's his story. reading it as susan losing out on heaven purely bc she discovered sex is the least intersting tak #iona.txt #tcon #tag talk

The decision to switch from recasting younger sw characters as actors who may not be a physical dead ringer (Alden ehrenreich as Han) to full cgi replications of real people was a net loss not only for sw but literally for the digital ethics of society as a whole

#I would rather have a 20 something or whatever actor who isn’t literally younger mark hamill #Than cgi mark hamill #But the ethical issues of recreating living people as cgi are really serious #Anyway I hate the press circuit and Kennedy and Lucas film as a whole from switching from the recasting (Alden) strategy to cgi #Luke strategy

Omg yes to your last post ! In every. Single. Article. They just can't stop mentioning MJF's height, like...we get it, he's short ? I mean I've even seen an article whose headline essentially read "He's small, he's puny (yeah, they used the word puny lmao), but somehow also attractive" like it was astonishing that a small man could be attractive ? You are right, kuddos to him for handling it so well and sometimes even anticipating it by making the joke himself. We LOVE a confident short king. <3

I can't get over that headline. Wow. Some articles definitely treated MJF as some sort of anomaly. "This man is. Small?? But people still like him?? He's somehow managed to craft a full and successful life for himself despite--tragically--being short."

It must have been frustrating to walk into interviews knowing his height would inevitably be a focus at some point. (He also was originally rejected for the role of Alex in Family Ties because they said he was too short!) Michael totally made the best of it and owned it.

Thanks for the ask!

#asks #michael j fox #reminds me of how they recast jennifer when mike was brought on for BTTF #because the original actress was taller than him #& when they polled the women working on the film they said a girl would never date a guy shorter than she was

You’re Wrong about Black Panther (2018)

This video essay is phenomenal. A true masterclass on film analysis and social commentary. F. D breaks down so many themes and historical beats interwoven throughout the first Black Panther film that so many people (including myself) missed or were unable to articulate. I’m somehow even more excited to head to the theater on Friday after watching this. Even if you aren’t planning to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, you should do yourself a favor and give this a watch.

#black panther #black panther: wakanda forever #black panther 2 #movie analysis #film analysis #movie review #youtube #fd signifier #video essay #marvel mcu #mcu #only thing i don’t agree with him on is recasting t’challa #he fully acknowledges that a lot of people in that camp have misogynistic views #the mantle is meant to be passed on #let the man and the character rest in peace

Return of the Living Dead: Part II (1988)
