movie The Beatles biopic selects the most uninspired and basic cast ever

[Space Cowboy]

 

Hollywood knows like 5 men 

[rhaenyra]

Aren't they all English actors anyway? At least they somewhat resemble who they're portraying and there is no forced inclusivity so it's a win win

[Johnny Jacobs]

The men recycling  are there no men left to cast? 

 

But yet another biopic about them is not what we need.

Keoghan is not english.

 

"Forced inclusivity" is not a real thing. For instance, no one expected a Black actor to be cast as a member of The Beatles. 
 

Inclusivity in movies serves as a corrective measure to address historical exclusion, not as an attempt to "force" something unnatural. What may feel forced to one person might be seen as necessary or long overdue to another.

What does forced inclusivity have to do with anything, as if Hollywood would ever cast anyone but a white man to play one of The Beatles.

 

Y'all really just love to show your ass on here and bring "inclusivity" or "wokeness" in out of nowhere.

I can see why the other 2 were cast but Harris Dickinson and Joseph Quinn look nothing like John Lennon and George Harrison,

 

They could've given those roles to lesser known actors as the movie's success will have nothing to do with any of them anyway.

Thank you, any movie that doesn't star 99% white straight people is forced inclusivity to these idiots.

I just hope the movie is good.

 

I'm not British but I do have some mutuals from Liverpool who would've preferred locals be cast, interesting discussion.

Apparently, it's a series of four different connected biopics, each focusing on a different Beatle. I kinda dig the concept

[TheBoss]

I'm so tired of biopics

dream orgy rotation

Umm this is a great cast. Who would you cast that would be better?  

[Khal]

Fanfic casting. If Pedro Pascal was British, they'd have probably managed to sneak him in somewhere.

[smartalek22]

What would you suggest as an "inspiring" and "non basic" cast?

Yeah, I was about to post the same. If there were any films where they could try to launch unknown actors, it's these ones. Beatles biopics will sell like hotcakes and working class England could do with some cultural investment.

 

With the decline of soap operas, acting has become even more of an elitist/nepotist medium. Same thing in Australia.

[LastKiss]

If the movie is gonna start since the beginning of their careers they are alredy too OLD to play them

Get YOUNG people to play YOUNG people

Weren't the Beatles like 18 when they started? 

[glitch]

Did we really need a Beatles biopic? Kinda tired of this relentless stream of biopics in recent years.

[Thin White Duke]

They don't cast "just 5 man", it's that you just know these 5 man - there are some amazing actors in some amazing movies out there - maybe just expand your horizons a lil bit 

 

If yall want to play the contrarian so badly and hate on the new popular boys for the week- at least commit to it and go support some indie filmmakers and actors.

 

Anyway, these biopics don't seem to work and I doubt this one will either.

People always complain about marvel and whatnot but the biopic epidemic is even worse. Always mediocre and lifeless but guaranteed to get awards traction most of the time because they're cheap bait. 
 

Nothing against the actors (Rami Malek, Austin Butler, Timothée Chalamet, (soon to be) Jeremy Allen White just to name a few are all talented actors) but my god make it stop.

??? That's… literally my point. Hollywood keeps casting the same handful of actors in most high-profile projects, leaving many other talented and lesser-known performers without opportunities.
