I wonder what made these people take part in this movie? Did Oldman think that he was going to follow the Daniel day Lewis route to oscar gold.

As OTF's Nicolas Cage correspondent, I can confirm that he (Leaving Las Vegas, 1995) co-starred with Nicole Kidman (The Hours, 2002) in 2011's Trespass. Directed by Joel Schumacher. Wealthy couple suffer home invasion etc. It had a $35m budget, and made $10m at the box office.
As Nic Cage has financial troubles and generally does not give a fuck, he says yes to absolutely everything, most of which goes straight to on-demand video (what's a DVD, grandad?).
There's a chance the trick could be repeated if Willem Dafoe wins next week, the two picked up a paycheck in Paul Schrader's horrific Dog Eat Dpg a while back.
Nic Cage's ability to keep a straight face in these awful films makes him the greatest living actor.

I'm not sure it went straight to DVD but I watched Chronicles of Riddick (aka Fast and Furious in Space) for the first time last night, and both Dame Judi Dench and Thandiwe Newton are in it (in equally preposterous roles). The latter's not yet won an Oscar but has got an Emmy and a Bafta, so it's probably only a matter of time.

It got a cinema release but it's one of those films that's completely outshone by its video game counterpart.
The most extreme case of this phenomenon is probably Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever. A 0% on Rotten Tomatoes yet the two games it spawned for the Game Boy Advance got plenty of good reviews - eight and nine out of tens all over the place.Last edited by 3 Colours Red; 11-12-2021, 12:20.

‘The Score’ didn’t go straight to dvd, and more than broke even after a couple of weeks of half decent box office after which it was pulled. However for a film
that starred Oscar winners Robert de Niro and Marlon Brando as well as the nominated Ed Norton and Angela Bassett it’s a very mediocre and pretty hackneyed ‘one last job’ heist movie.
