The Playlist:
From a brand perspective, actor Taylor Kitsch has had an unfortunate 2012. With the movie industry dealing with a rocky past few years, Hollywood has had to adjust its strategy, moving to a familiar but relatively new spending plan. With A-list stars demanding huge salaries or major backend deals with little assurance that their popularity will translate into box-office gold, Tinseltown has looked inward, almost akin to the old studio system, in an attempt to cultivate its own fresh (less-expensive) would-be stars.
The one thing that John Carter does better than anything else, is understanding who John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is, what his journey needs to be, and how to properly illustrate that journey.
Deadline
John Leguizamo has been cast opposite Michael Shannon and Taylor Kitsch in Waco, a six-part event series produced by Weinstein TV, set to air on Paramount Network in 2018. Production begins next month in Santa Fe, NM.
Deadline:
Jeff Bridges and Taylor Kitsch joined the cast of the untitled firefighter pic financed by Black Label Media that already has Josh Brolin, Miles Teller and James Badge Dale attached. The film tells the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of firefighters who in 2013 lost 19 members while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire. Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) is set to direct, and Ken Nolan developed the story. It’s produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Erik Howsam, Jeremy Steckler of Conde Nast Entertainment, Dawn Ostroff, Mike Menchel, Black Label Media’s Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill. Lionsgate will be distributing the film worldwide through its Summit Entertainment banner.
I think he's under rated...I like him a lot and think he did great in John Carter. I just wish they had maybe released it at a different time.
I actually think he would make a perfect Eric Draven when they make The Crow but that's just my opinion.
He did a fantastic job in John Carter and a "meh" job in Battleship.
No, Savages doesn't save him. It actually makes him look worse.
unlikely, the savages have mixed reviews so far, and if the film does fairly well in the box office(provided that its up against spiderman), it might be because it has a good story and a strong cast. the only point that he can be saved by this movie if his character steals the show.
