Well it's produced by Leto, so ask him why he put himself in it.
Eh, as much as the dude creeps me out, he was phenomenal in WeCrashed. Probably because the character was relentlessly insufferable.
Suicide Squad and Morbius were awful scripts, I don’t think anyone could have saved them. I also get the sense that sci-fi/fantasy isn’t really his jam, so I’m not hopeful when it comes to Tron.
Doesn't he have a sex island for his cult?
Ooh ooh, I know this one!
He's a pretty good actor. Paul Allen, Angel Face, the dude from my so-called-life. He's a lot like Gary Oldman in that mainstream audiences don't really clue in that it's the same guy from that other movie they watched.
Only when the internet figured Gary Oldman out they thought he was the most underecognized actor ever. When they figured Jared Leto out they demanded he never be cast in anything ever again.
Probably because he's a creep.
Angel Face getting shit kicked was pretty cool.
He's a... method actor. He's one of those guys who will literally live in the role until production is finished, on and off camera.
He got a lot of hate for playing Joker in Suicide Squad (the first one), not only because their version of Joker was a cringey edge lord instead of the brilliant psychopath he's usually portrayed as, but also because, while he was "in character," he did a bunch of awful things to his costars, including mailing them used condoms. All because his character would've done those things and he was trying to live out the role in real life.
Then he acted in Morbius and was again awful to deal with until filming was wrapped, and it sparked a whole debate over whether method actors were even good actors in the first place.
I mean, as far as I'm concerned, if you can't seamlessly slip into a role when the cameras turn on, then you're kind of a shitty actor. If you need to adopt the role and be that character for the entire production timeline, then you kind of suck at acting. But that's just my opinion.
I imagine most of the time, method acting doesn’t really produce a better result for the audience. I will say one of my favorite movies, Man on the Moon, was done with Jim Carey doing method acting and I can’t imagine that movie being the same if he didn’t. For yet another blah-tier superhero movie, probably not worth it, but on the rare dramatic role that calls for it, I can understand its use cases.
I don't think he was until his ego caught up with him. Then whatever you see him in, it's just Leto 'acting', not the character. No immersion.
He also runs a sex cult so there's that too.
Even the best songs can be driven into the dirt from being overplayed. 30 seconds has made some pretty good music, though, there's a reason that song got popular.
I don't care who stars in it, unless they can get daft punk back together to do the score I give zero fucks
Huh, didn't even know there was a maleficent 2
I didn't know there was a Pirates of the Caribbean beyond 3.
Because there isn't and I don't care what anyone says.
Don't bother. I love the 1st one, but the sequel put me to sleep.
I always refer to Tron Legacy as 'Daft Punk ft Tron' because the music made that movie in my opinion.
I might be interested if they can get Wendy Carlos out of retirement to do the score.
“You wish now that our places had been exchanged…that I had died and Boromir Bruce Boxleitner had lived.”
“Yes. I wish that”
I have mixed feelings about Leto, but I do have a hankering for another Tron movie. The last one was like the first one but on steroids with Daft punk and everything. Listened to that soundtrack a million times.
Hope they/he doesnt mess it up to bad....
I dunno, he's weird as fuck, but he can turn in interesting performances because of that. Could work.
Absolutely. And as a creepy sycophant in fight club.
Okay, so he mainly does creepy and crazy well lol.
That's only partially a joke, but he did start out doing melodrama on tv, and did well. Did great in requiem for a dream as his first real lead.
He does method and takes it too far, and he really does specialize in roles that are what you might call bat-shit crazy, with a bat-shit crazy movie as an exception in his supporting roles when he plays normal.
But I can't really say he screws up many of the roles. Even the notorious joker turn was in a badly written movie that edited out most of what he did.
His best role was in American Psycho cuz Christian Bale kills him.
Lmao! Dark, but hilarious
Can't believe this thread was up for 2 days before someone made this joke.
Damn. I feel sorry for his co-stars.
Ugh. One of my favorite non-franchises is becoming a franchise and Leto is taking it there. Oh well. Fingers crossed.
I hate Jared Leto cause I never be able to identify it's him until credits are rolled. I don't mind his acting or personal life but it's so defeating to me when I can't identify.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
Honestly don't understand why they keep putting him in movies
