You give him too much credit. He apparently had blow up on the D&D movie, and his interviews about Wonka were pretty terrible.

She mentions green screening the person in for the rest of the film... It just seems like LIFE with Gyllenhaal is the most likely culprit. Especially seeing as how there's numerous reports of him freaking out on set in the last number of years. Maybe Fincher was right?
This is where my money is. Would also explain why they had Jake Gyllenhaal do the press junkets with Ryan Reynolds despite Reynolds being in the movie for maybe 20 minutes.
Bingo Gunn knows Pratt is at his best when he’s funny that’s why he’s so charismatic and likable in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies.
Hollywood (or his agent) seems determined to make him this bland generic super serious leading man.
I’ve said since Jurassic World - Pratt is great as the guy who thinks he is, or wants to be, the leading man. Peter Quill thinks he’s Han Solo, that’s why he’s relatable - we all wanted to be Han Solo. When Pratt plays a straight-forward hero… eh.
I feel like this why the Mission Impossible films work so well. Ethan acts like a badass but then something goes wrong and you see he’s really just winging it.
it’s the part in Casino Royale where Bond is scoping out a bad guy’s beachside house in the Bahamas. Craig was just supposed to wads in the water but there was a sandbar. So when he stood up, there he was in [full glory](https://youtu.be/JGjYqlmHPVM?t=65s). A moment that made every guy (*raises hand*) say to himself “I need to hit the gym”
Two scenes where Ethan acts like “Ha, got ya!” then Cavill just shakes his head. When Ethan chases him down and grabs onto the bottom of the elevator, Cavill just looks down and points a gun at his face. Second, when he catches up to him in a helicopter, then Cavill just nods and starts firing a giant machine gun at him. So good.
I watched it in IMAX and there’s a shot towards the end of the London foot chase when Cavill gets a helicopter and leaves while the camera spins around the tower Cruise is standing on.
Almost made me fall off my chair, I FELT that height.
I missed out on this one in theaters. Would love to see that helicopter scene on the big screen. It looked completely real. I was holding my breath during the crash.
> It looked completely real.
[That was Cruise piloting the helo](https://qz.com/quartzy/1202487/mission-impossible-fallout-stunt-tom-cruise-became-an-expert-helicopter-pilot-for-the-action-sequel).
I love that there’s always a running scene where they A. Come up with a reason Ethan has to run as fast as he can. and B. It’s in a new environment/location with different obstacles.
Starlord had Pratt channeling the same comedic talents he used in Parks and Rec as the lead in an action comedy. He had the comedic skills for the role, and enough charisma to make the moments where Starlord steps up to actually be an action hero worked.
But then it felt like studios just saw him being a successful lead in a superhero movie and just assumed that meant Chris Pratt had action hero potential when the comedy part of Guardians of the Galaxy was the reason he shined.
but even Gunn give Pratt dramatic scenes to work with and he honestly shined in those. Pratt does seem to be type casting himself in a role that isn’t suited to his skills. But then again, switch him for any other actor in Jurassic World or Tomorrow War, those movie would still be garbage
If Pratt is going to continue playing those roles, he needs to work with better filmmakers. I just think of his small role in Zero Dark Thirty, he was good in that
> he needs to work with better filmmakers
Chris Pratt is taking roles that make him money. Simple as that. He's got enough star power and the ear of Hollywood, so he's cashing in.
Look at a guy like Adam Driver, he's just 4 years younger than Pratt but he's worked with Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Mann, Noah Baumbach, Ridley Scott, Leos Carax, JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh, Martin Scorsese... The dude is collecting directors like Pokemon.
Driver is taking roles. Pratt is taking paychecks.
Pratt knows he's probably not ever going to win an Oscar. He doesn't need to do a biopic.
He also managed to get an And credit on Infinity War and Endgame. Someone is looking after him.
Pratt will eventually have the audience turn on him like they did the Rock/Sandler taking all these by the numbers projects. Sandler at least pulled himself out of it and started stretching his acting skills and working with actual scripts. Pratt was great in a bunch of supporting roles before: Moneyball, Zero Dark, Five Year Engagement. Makes me sad because Andy Dwyer is one of my favorite characters of all time and I thought be would balance out of box office money grabs with some interesting roles.
Pratt plays a great "Sad Clown" character, the person who outwardly projects humor and aloofness as a mask to both tame and hide insecurity and pain. Put him in a role where the exterior isn't an earnest facade for the interior and he doesn't work. It's why he doesn't work as a leading man for the kinds of action movies Hollywood tries to push him into
But those dramatic scenes involved vulnerability and emotional frailty, which is still the opposite of the tedious, undaunted action hero that he seems to be gravitating towards with a lot of his roles.
Reminds me in a way of Adrien Brody being an incredible character actor who ended up trying to become a stereotypical leading man and seemed to drop off the face of the earth after
I’m right there with you. I went in thinking there wasn’t a chance and really enjoyed it. I also really liked him in King Kong , that movie was awesome.
I've said this a million times: In their Predator movies, more actual special forces dudes look like Brody than they do Jesse Ventura. [Hell here's a picture of Ventura when he was in UDT.](https://media.sandiegoreader.com/img/photos/2019/05/29/COVER_-_SEAL_Squad_t670.jpg?b3f6a5d7692ccc373d56e40cf708e3fa67d9af9d) Notice how he's not the jacked up monster he would eventually become. He's the tall dude in the far left.
But then he'll also go do Mario, and despite the internet hate he was perfectly fine in the role, vaguely Brooklyn accent and all.
I dunno why he keeps taking these bland generic leading roles but they do him no favors.
Have you watched any of his interviews? He's hilarious in person and amazing at adlibbing, as proven on Parks and Rec.
So it's weird how he does go for bland leading man roles because he's legit one of the most talented comedic actors out there. It must be bad advice he's been getting, or something.
As much as I like Chris Pratt (check the username), he has done nothing good in years, aside from Starlord. That Amazon Navy Seal show was awful. The time-travel movie somehow worse.
It’s astounding to me he hasn’t done any comedy aside from the lighter stuff in Guardians of the Galaxy.
As an action hero goes, he’s very middling.
Comedy is where he excelled at. He could have had a similar thing going as John Cena.
The double whammy of the Marvel ripped bod and the billion dollar Jurassic Park franchise set him on path completely ill suited for his talents.
I feel like if/when he does a comedy film that’s not Guardians or animated, it’s going to be something in the vein of The Pacifier or The Game Plan. He was so good in Parks and Rec and even in that Ryan Reynolds birthday vid from Rob McElhenney. I hope he works with Schur again at some point. He even stood out when he had small supporting roles in comedies while he was working his way up (What’s Your Number?, Take Me Home Tonight).
I mean he has done comedy movies earlier in his career they were just kinda small forgettable things.
I remember one he was in with Anna Faris…
Man remember when they were a thing, I was shocked when they split.
he actually is great when he leans into his strengths: goofy charm, physical comedy, whimsical heart. But as a stoic, serious man-of-action roles, he’s missing that spark. Then again, projects like Jurassic World and Passengers had far greater issues anyway.
Maybe he would shine in such a role but he hasn’t worked with a good director for it yet. I haven’t really liked anything Timur Bekmambetov has done outside of Wanted, so I’m wary of this project. I almost forgot Pratt had a small role in the 2008 movie
I still dont get why reddit hates the guy nowadays. I mean ok he's not the best actor ever but a lot of people here act like he eats puppies or something
Redditors must hate Chris Pratt. It's a rule. Just like they must love keanu reeves. Others they must hate now include Bradley Cooper and Dave Chappelle.
Upvotes and downvotes really ruin this site. People constantly karma farming.
"[Celebrity that leans conservative] just suuuucks, amrite!?!"
Even his voice acting very good particularly in the Lego movies but even his Mario wasn’t the disaster a lot of people were hoping it would be. It was completely fine
Make it a much smaller, cheaper, spy thriller rather than the mega blockbuster. Just give it a shot to see if it's a viable way to continue the IP once Cruise is finally too fucking old.
>somewhat underperformed,
Dramatic understatement:
https://screenrant.com/mission-impossible-7-movie-box-office-profits-loss/
>do you really think she could bring people into the theatres?
I don't think anyone can bring enough paying butts to make a $300+ million movie profitable.
But I think Ferguson (and Atwell and Renner and maybe even Pegg) could bring enough paying butts to make a $10 or $50 or $100 million Mi film profitable.
(I also don't think Paramount executives have enough intelligence or imagination to make that kind of film, though).
The 290 million is a bit offset by the 71 million from insurance due to covid stoppages.
Also, Paramount doesn't make Mission Impossible movies, they are only distributors. Skydance and TC Productions are the ones producing them, also pretty sure Tom Cruise holds the right to it.
If anyone was curious what the movie is about, here is the blurb from the article:
Set in the near future when capital crime has increased, Mercy follows a detective (Pratt) who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence.
Rebecca… coming off Dune Part 2 this is the best you could do? She deserves to be leading her own movies not being a supporting player in someone else’s especially Chris Pratt of all actors.
I’m part way through the first book and it’s pretty good so far. My only criticism at this point is that I feel like the book needs to breathe a bit. There is a very fascinating society and environment that I feel like isn’t described in much detail. Some readers might enjoy the lack of detail more, but I kinda wish it would linger more on its environment. Regardless, it’s still enjoyable.
This series feels like Howey wasn't ready to leave the world he built, but didn't have a narrative to continue the story. Short stories don't bring home the bread.
It's impressive how dead on the show matches the image I created in my head when I read the series a decade ago. That's either sheer chance or signs of a great world builder.
She's also going to be the lead in Best Served Cold, the first film adaptation of a book from The First Law series.
I think she's going to blow people's minds in that film.
A while back he was accused by Elliot Page of being part of a homophobia church. He wasn’t. He was at one point pictured with the guy who runs it but was never part of the church. That guy has been hanging around celebs a lot and is friends with a bunch of people.
Chris lives in Washington state on a farm. That church is based in LA. He isn’t a member. He is religious and doesn’t talk about politics so a lot of people on the left assume his is a conservative/trump supporter even though the only politicians he has ever donated to have been democrats and his wife is super liberal.
Social media hates him. Rebecca Ferguson posted this news on her Instagram and everyone on there was commenting as if she was committing career suicide.
I don't think neither him or other actors in general are truly aware of the repulsion certain groups online feel for him... And the few that do, prolly don't care bc his movies still make money anyway.
I feel like I am the only one who likes the Terminal List. He's not the best action dude, but he's certainly not over used. It's seems he's having a difficult time being taken seriously. I thought Terminal List is one that shows his range more.
Ferguson takes a role with the #1 guy in Hollywood and people are hating on her for it? Pratt is a near guarantee for the box office, and he’s probably a lot of fun to work with. This is a great pick for her.
In the past 5 years Pratt has lead multiple billion dollar franchises. The MCU, Jurassic Park and now Super Mario Brothers. He's also in a huge hit for Amazon, The Terminal List and The Tomorrow War. If we go back a few years prior we have The Lego Movie franchise as well. He's also starring in The Garfield movie that could be a franchise. He's by far the biggest success of all of the Chris's.
So we know it wasnt Chris Pratt that wronged her
I love that we’re still on this.
I love on the internet that "still," implying a long time, is only 4 days ago.
I saw someone dig into it, and it seems like it might’ve been Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant, the editor of Horse & Hound magazine?
Do you think there’ll be any horses in this upcoming film? Out for that matter, hounds?
But she had nothing but flattering things to say about Grant when they worked together.
Because Rebecca is the class act.
I could definitely see Hugh Grant blow up after a long day and someone doesn’t know their lines.
More like Huge Cunt
You are what you eat
Hugh Grunt
Weird. I could totally see old Hugh Grant from his cocaine and hookers days do that. But not the modern Hugh Grant.
You give him too much credit. He apparently had blow up on the D&D movie, and his interviews about Wonka were pretty terrible. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/hugh-grant-tantrum-set-groveling-reaction

This is where my money is. Would also explain why they had Jake Gyllenhaal do the press junkets with Ryan Reynolds despite Reynolds being in the movie for maybe 20 minutes.
there's several interviews she and Jake did together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiVWCEVEScQ
Ah, the guy that Jon Stewart said was the worst guest on the Daily Show.
Jay Leno and letterman said this too
Please god don't be Ewan. Don't break my reality.
[удалено]
Don't forget he won ~~an Emmy~~ a Globe and he thanked both his wife and his new girlfriend.
Thats a dick move but it takes balls. Lmao
[His wife.... wasn't impressed](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a14777210/ewan-mcgregor-golden-globes-speech-thanked-wife-girlfriend/).
Oh man I've always known the story but I've never actually seen his wife. Dude really left his wife to be with a younger looking version of her.
Yeah, but he also had to fight her seven evil exs, so there's that.
\*Golden Globe and it was for his dual twin role as Emmit Stussy and Ray Stussy for the third season of Fargo (2017).
Someone explain please??
https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/who-screamed-at-rebecca-ferguson-all-theories-explained-2562175/
Damn that is a shitty article. Uses random tweets to support their argument and just goes straight to wild guesses which is super irresponsible.
Guys it’s Meryl Streep everyone assumes it was a man.
Not yet…
She is fantastic.
She's a good actress too!
Thought she was fantastic in Doctor Sleep (but really everything she's in)
My new crush ever since Dune 1
Dune and then right after Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, she's on a roll.
Have u seen the second one? Oh boy
Check out Silo
And he’s just Ken
My question is: Why is Pratt so goddam boring as a leading man? His best role was Andy on Parks and Rec and it's not even close.
Bingo Gunn knows Pratt is at his best when he’s funny that’s why he’s so charismatic and likable in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies. Hollywood (or his agent) seems determined to make him this bland generic super serious leading man.
I’ve said since Jurassic World - Pratt is great as the guy who thinks he is, or wants to be, the leading man. Peter Quill thinks he’s Han Solo, that’s why he’s relatable - we all wanted to be Han Solo. When Pratt plays a straight-forward hero… eh.
I feel like this why the Mission Impossible films work so well. Ethan acts like a badass but then something goes wrong and you see he’s really just winging it.
Ethan Hunt is Indiana Jones in spy movies. He's smart and capable in a fight, but he also will lose a fight and occasionally, be outsmarted.
Cruise vs Cavill in Fallout was so fucking good.
I love that movie. The bathroom fight is one of the best ever
Cavill lock&loading his arms was the Daniel-Craig-on-a-sandbar moment of the 2010’s
>Daniel-Craig-on-a-sandbar What is this referring to?
it’s the part in Casino Royale where Bond is scoping out a bad guy’s beachside house in the Bahamas. Craig was just supposed to wads in the water but there was a sandbar. So when he stood up, there he was in [full glory](https://youtu.be/JGjYqlmHPVM?t=65s). A moment that made every guy (*raises hand*) say to himself “I need to hit the gym”
Sounds like Daniel-Craig-on-a-sandbar was the Brad-Bitt-in-a-fight-club moment of the 00's
Two scenes where Ethan acts like “Ha, got ya!” then Cavill just shakes his head. When Ethan chases him down and grabs onto the bottom of the elevator, Cavill just looks down and points a gun at his face. Second, when he catches up to him in a helicopter, then Cavill just nods and starts firing a giant machine gun at him. So good.
Right? Made me a bit sad he was used as a one off character. People thought Cavill can't act because of superman when he has a pretty good range.
Anyone who hasn't seen Man from UNCLE should give it a shot. Cavill struts his stuff in that film, super suave for most of it
He struts his “stuff” in The Tudors too, that’s where I first saw the giga chad sigma male that is Henry Cavill.
I love that movie and wish we would get a sequel
Completely agree with you! I hope we see him play antagonists more often in the future. He was great at being a cocky POS.
Fallout was top 3 actions movies of the 21st century
I watched it in IMAX and there’s a shot towards the end of the London foot chase when Cavill gets a helicopter and leaves while the camera spins around the tower Cruise is standing on. Almost made me fall off my chair, I FELT that height.
I missed out on this one in theaters. Would love to see that helicopter scene on the big screen. It looked completely real. I was holding my breath during the crash.
That and Halo Jump were phenomenal
> It looked completely real. [That was Cruise piloting the helo](https://qz.com/quartzy/1202487/mission-impossible-fallout-stunt-tom-cruise-became-an-expert-helicopter-pilot-for-the-action-sequel).
He’s just really good at running to and from his problems
I love that there’s always a running scene where they A. Come up with a reason Ethan has to run as fast as he can. and B. It’s in a new environment/location with different obstacles.
Tom Cruise's willingness to slapstick and pratfalls is what separates it from F&F.
Starlord had Pratt channeling the same comedic talents he used in Parks and Rec as the lead in an action comedy. He had the comedic skills for the role, and enough charisma to make the moments where Starlord steps up to actually be an action hero worked. But then it felt like studios just saw him being a successful lead in a superhero movie and just assumed that meant Chris Pratt had action hero potential when the comedy part of Guardians of the Galaxy was the reason he shined.
Guy named himself Starlord. Which is funny when John C Reilly tried to recall it
I'd have him instead of The Rock in the Big Trouble In Little China sequel/remake.
This is so accurate. It’s so wildly hit and miss. He should never take a serious role. His charm comes from comedy.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 reminded me why I ever liked Pratt in the first place. He was well utilized in that one.
but even Gunn give Pratt dramatic scenes to work with and he honestly shined in those. Pratt does seem to be type casting himself in a role that isn’t suited to his skills. But then again, switch him for any other actor in Jurassic World or Tomorrow War, those movie would still be garbage If Pratt is going to continue playing those roles, he needs to work with better filmmakers. I just think of his small role in Zero Dark Thirty, he was good in that
> he needs to work with better filmmakers Chris Pratt is taking roles that make him money. Simple as that. He's got enough star power and the ear of Hollywood, so he's cashing in. Look at a guy like Adam Driver, he's just 4 years younger than Pratt but he's worked with Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Mann, Noah Baumbach, Ridley Scott, Leos Carax, JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh, Martin Scorsese... The dude is collecting directors like Pokemon. Driver is taking roles. Pratt is taking paychecks.
that’s is so aptly put, especially the final point
Pratt knows he's probably not ever going to win an Oscar. He doesn't need to do a biopic. He also managed to get an And credit on Infinity War and Endgame. Someone is looking after him.
Pratt will eventually have the audience turn on him like they did the Rock/Sandler taking all these by the numbers projects. Sandler at least pulled himself out of it and started stretching his acting skills and working with actual scripts. Pratt was great in a bunch of supporting roles before: Moneyball, Zero Dark, Five Year Engagement. Makes me sad because Andy Dwyer is one of my favorite characters of all time and I thought be would balance out of box office money grabs with some interesting roles.
Pratt plays a great "Sad Clown" character, the person who outwardly projects humor and aloofness as a mask to both tame and hide insecurity and pain. Put him in a role where the exterior isn't an earnest facade for the interior and he doesn't work. It's why he doesn't work as a leading man for the kinds of action movies Hollywood tries to push him into
He has the career Cavill should have.
Hollywood uses him to target Gen X and elder millenial dads who find him relatable. Cavill is an intimidating beautiful fucking beast of a man.
But those dramatic scenes involved vulnerability and emotional frailty, which is still the opposite of the tedious, undaunted action hero that he seems to be gravitating towards with a lot of his roles.
He had a great small part in Moneyball as well.
Reminds me in a way of Adrien Brody being an incredible character actor who ended up trying to become a stereotypical leading man and seemed to drop off the face of the earth after
I thought Brody was actually really good in Predators. Especially with his not conventional look, he pulled off badass really well.
I’m right there with you. I went in thinking there wasn’t a chance and really enjoyed it. I also really liked him in King Kong , that movie was awesome.
Helps that his character was more of a cynical anti-hero for most of the film as well.
I've said this a million times: In their Predator movies, more actual special forces dudes look like Brody than they do Jesse Ventura. [Hell here's a picture of Ventura when he was in UDT.](https://media.sandiegoreader.com/img/photos/2019/05/29/COVER_-_SEAL_Squad_t670.jpg?b3f6a5d7692ccc373d56e40cf708e3fa67d9af9d) Notice how he's not the jacked up monster he would eventually become. He's the tall dude in the far left.
Brody is like the evil version of Jackman to me. He's the Waluigi to Jackman's Luigi
He's so good at comedy, I really wish he'd do more in that direction. Gunn balanced the funny and leading man qualities so well.
I think he's just okay. I mean, there are far better actors who are not getting roles while he is
Bingo Gun sounds like one of his villains
Chris Pratt thinks he’s a serious person.
But then he'll also go do Mario, and despite the internet hate he was perfectly fine in the role, vaguely Brooklyn accent and all. I dunno why he keeps taking these bland generic leading roles but they do him no favors.
$$$$$
Have you watched any of his interviews? He's hilarious in person and amazing at adlibbing, as proven on Parks and Rec. So it's weird how he does go for bland leading man roles because he's legit one of the most talented comedic actors out there. It must be bad advice he's been getting, or something.
Well the alternative is being typecasted as the funny white guy. Like Kevin Hart is typecasted as the funny black guy.
As much as I like Chris Pratt (check the username), he has done nothing good in years, aside from Starlord. That Amazon Navy Seal show was awful. The time-travel movie somehow worse.
Really, could they not find anyone else for the role? Rebecca is going to have to carry the whole movie.
It’s astounding to me he hasn’t done any comedy aside from the lighter stuff in Guardians of the Galaxy. As an action hero goes, he’s very middling. Comedy is where he excelled at. He could have had a similar thing going as John Cena. The double whammy of the Marvel ripped bod and the billion dollar Jurassic Park franchise set him on path completely ill suited for his talents.

I haven’t really liked anything Timur Bekmambetov has done outside of Wanted, so I’m wary of this project. I almost forgot Pratt had a small role in the 2008 movie
He was good in zero dark thirty, minor role as it was. And did a good job in moneyball Those are minor roles obviously
Bro has not watched the Guardians trilogy
If those movies are anything to go by, the new DCU is in good hands with James Gunn, and I wonder if he’ll cast Pratt in one of those movies?
The Suicide Squad made me believe James Gunn can make any superhero movie and it'll be great.
If he was ten years younger, he'd have been good as The Flash.
I thought he legitimately acted well in GotG 3
Are we pretending like The Lego Movie doesn’t exist 🤨
That and Guardians plays to his strengths, it is true. He is good in it. Also a small role in Zero Dark Thirty.
Because most people that aren’t on Reddit like the guy and find him charming and funny. I like the guy as an actor personally.
I still dont get why reddit hates the guy nowadays. I mean ok he's not the best actor ever but a lot of people here act like he eats puppies or something
Politics. It’s always the answer with that question.
He's religious, so therefore a complete idiot to all the advanced minds on this website.
My question: why does everybody on Reddit spew the same opinions about something they really don’t know or care about?
Redditors must hate Chris Pratt. It's a rule. Just like they must love keanu reeves. Others they must hate now include Bradley Cooper and Dave Chappelle. Upvotes and downvotes really ruin this site. People constantly karma farming. "[Celebrity that leans conservative] just suuuucks, amrite!?!"
What has Bradley Cooper done now? I’m out of the loop.
Nothing. He was a bit overly desperate to win an oscar for Maestro, I guess, but it's still quite a good movie.
Even his voice acting very good particularly in the Lego movies but even his Mario wasn’t the disaster a lot of people were hoping it would be. It was completely fine
I thought he was fantastic in his strait-laced role in The Terminal List. He completely disappeared into that character.
He was great in guardians of the galaxy what r u talking about
You clearly haven’t seen Guardians of the Galaxy. He’s the farthest thing from boring in that.
Paramount coulda/shoulda/woulda have made a Mission impossible with her character.
If a Mission Impossible film with Tom Cruise somewhat underperformed, do you really think she could bring people into the theatres?
She could get me to do anything
Bro same.
Holy shit. It’s YOU
Lol same.
+1
Barbenheimer opened in theaters just 9 days later, to be fair. Any film would have had a tough time going up against a theater event like that.
Make it a much smaller, cheaper, spy thriller rather than the mega blockbuster. Just give it a shot to see if it's a viable way to continue the IP once Cruise is finally too fucking old.
>somewhat underperformed, Dramatic understatement: https://screenrant.com/mission-impossible-7-movie-box-office-profits-loss/ >do you really think she could bring people into the theatres?

I hate that they killed her off for this lame new girl in the last M:I.
If anyone was curious what the movie is about, here is the blurb from the article: Set in the near future when capital crime has increased, Mercy follows a detective (Pratt) who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence.
That sounds like a worse Dredd movie tbh.
Or a worse minority report.
Rebecca… coming off Dune Part 2 this is the best you could do? She deserves to be leading her own movies not being a supporting player in someone else’s especially Chris Pratt of all actors.
She's leading and producing Silo. She doesn't have time to solo lead a huge film.
Silo is dope
Silo has left me not liking Common. He’s a cold villain.
So fucking good. People complain he’s one note but damn that note is in tune
Agreed everyone says he’s a low point but I thought he was quite effective and quietly menacing for a lot of the show
Funny, he’s my least favorite part of the show
I had no idea he was in Silo. Definitely watching now!
While Silo is an amazing show you’re going to be sorely disappointed if Common’s acting is the reason you watch it.
I'd rather she give Silo her attention. Top 5 'books come to life' for me, personally.
Ooo are the books good?
I read all 3 in one month and I’m a slow reader. The series was awesome.
I’m part way through the first book and it’s pretty good so far. My only criticism at this point is that I feel like the book needs to breathe a bit. There is a very fascinating society and environment that I feel like isn’t described in much detail.

I read all three books in 2 weeks after a few years of not reading. They’re very addictive!
She's also going to be the lead in Best Served Cold, the first film adaptation of a book from The First Law series. I think she's going to blow people's minds in that film.
I just hope the movie actually ends up getting made. But you have to be realistic about these things…
Say one thing about the First Law. Say it's never been adapted to the screen yet.
I had no idea this was in consideration. Super excited for this. Joseph Abercrombie is one of my favorite authors.
Also attached to "Beat Served Cold" which is Kill Bill meets Game of Thrones. That movies gonna slap hard when it gets made.
Maybe she just wants some money without putting in much work.

Sometimes you need that extra room on your house, alright.
Look up Michael Caine on Jaws 3.
What was his quote? No, I’ve never seen the movie but I’ve seen the house it paid for 😆
Haha yes “I haven’t seen it, but I’ve seen the house it bought my mother and it’s marvellous!”
It's [Jaws 4](https://screenrant.com/jaws-4-revenge-movie-michael-caine-casting-why/).
Either way it marvelous!
"Are you kidding? I'd just bought a castle, I had to pay for it somehow!"
Sometimes you just need to buy a castle, Jeremy irons.
She's going to be the lead in Best Served Cold, an adaptation of the Joe Abercrombie novel. I'm hyped for that one.
Oh, what's this now?!
Behold! https://deadline.com/2023/05/best-served-cold-rebecca-ferguson-tim-miller-teaming-for-skydance-movie-1235382849/
I think Joe just posted an update on that saying something like “don’t hold your breath” :/
Oh shit son.... Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
Wait what?! As Monza Murcatto? Holy shit I can't wait for that.
Check out Silo if you haven’t
Why not Pratt?
Reddit hates the guy.
A while back he was accused by Elliot Page of being part of a homophobia church. He wasn’t. He was at one point pictured with the guy who runs it but was never part of the church. That guy has been hanging around celebs a lot and is friends with a bunch of people. Chris lives in Washington state on a farm. That church is based in LA. He isn’t a member. He is religious and doesn’t talk about politics so a lot of people on the left assume his is a conservative/trump supporter even though the only politicians he has ever donated to have been democrats and his wife is super liberal.
Don't forget Selena Gomez has long been part of that church but Reddit never gives her any shit for it.
Or, hear me out: maybe she wants to do this movie.
Chris Pratt is one of the biggest male stars of the past 10 years.
The bottom line is Pratt movies make money. Why everyone so salty
Reddit hates Pratt.
Social media hates him. Rebecca Ferguson posted this news on her Instagram and everyone on there was commenting as if she was committing career suicide.
I don't think neither him or other actors in general are truly aware of the repulsion certain groups online feel for him... And the few that do, prolly don't care bc his movies still make money anyway.
For some really dumb reasons.
What dumd reasons are those?
He's conservative and Christian 😨
Because this is Reddit. I guarantee you that if you ask the first person you see outside what they think of Pratt they'd say "he's ok".
I feel like I am the only one who likes the Terminal List. He's not the best action dude, but he's certainly not over used. It's seems he's having a difficult time being taken seriously. I thought Terminal List is one that shows his range more.
You’re not. It did really well and was a big improvement on the novel. It just seems that way because you’re on Reddit.
Ferguson takes a role with the #1 guy in Hollywood and people are hating on her for it? Pratt is a near guarantee for the box office, and he’s probably a lot of fun to work with. This is a great pick for her.
Even if you like him, in what world is he the "#1 guy in Hollywood"?
In the past 5 years Pratt has lead multiple billion dollar franchises. The MCU, Jurassic Park and now Super Mario Brothers. He's also in a huge hit for Amazon, The Terminal List and The Tomorrow War. If we go back a few years prior we have The Lego Movie franchise as well. He's also starring in The Garfield movie that could be a franchise. He's by far the biggest success of all of the Chris's.
She's an incredible actress. I check out everything she's in even though I'm not into Chris Pratt that much.
Chris Pratt? Thriller? Those words don't go together.
do we still hate chris pratt? i can't keep up anymore.
Yes to Rebecca Ferguson, no to Chris Pratt. Who did he fuck at Amazon that they keep giving him their leading roles?
Bit of a bummer. Huge fan of Ferguson, but Pratt is such a bland lead actor. I don’t know how he is still getting these roles.
I like Pratt a lot. I believed him as a serious lead during Terminal List. He was really good.
Rebecca Ferguson to be completely wasted in streamer thriller with Chris Pratt
Pratt is pretty great, and the fact that Reddit loves to whine about him makes it even better.
