10 films that failed, despite the star caste
Marvelovskaya "War of Infinity" will certainly enter the Guinness Book of Records as a project that employs the most star actors. It's hard to say in what amount the contracts of the first-magnitude actors who took part in the film poured out, but any costs have already justified themselves - for 4 days the film earned in the worldwide box office more than 700 million dollars! It would seem that with such a star composition to worry the authors of the third crossover "Avengers" was not worth it, the audience would in any case have come to the cinemas, but this is too bold assumption, because the cast of actors is still far from the most important, and Hollywood knows many examples of how with a crash the tapes, which involved even the most popular starry arsenal, failed. We recalled several films that impress with their caste, but not critical or box-office results - alas, in the cases just cited, the simple addition of stellar statuses does not give the necessary cumulative effect.
The Outcasts (1983)/The Outsiders
drama/thriller
Director:Francis Ford Coppola
Cast:S. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe
Promo-frame to the film "Outcasts"
To the shootings of "Outcasts" Francis Ford Coppola approached, experiencing a serious personal and creative crisis - his musical "With all my heart" had just failed at the box office, the director was disappointed in the philosophy of the studio cinema, and ideas for new paintings in him dried up. "Outcasts" were supposed to be that outlet that would demonstrate the power of the true talent of the master, not dependent on the opinions of studio bosses and imposed producers. Alas, the picture was too unpretentious and frankly flat, despite the fantastic caste. Of course, most of the busy actors were just getting ready for great popularity, but it's not really debatants Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Esteves, S. Thomas Howell and Tom Cruise, and yet the picture did not "soar".
True Love (1993)/True Romance
Action/Drama/Romance/Thriller
Directed by:Tony Scott
Cast:Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman
Promo-frame to the film "True Love"
Before resenting that we hung on the cult "True Love" Tony Scott and Quentin Tarantino label "failure", look at the dry figures of the cinema fees: with a budget of 12.5 million fees, the tape collected 12.3 million, and this is a real failure. Yes, in this case Tarantino acted only as a screenwriter, but all the other attributes peculiar to his paintings are in the frame: blood seas, witty dialogues and memorable characters played by brilliant actors. Today it is impossible to imagine that the viewer refused to go to a film in which Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Samuel L. Jackson, Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater were busy simultaneously, but that happened 25 years ago did not help wide rental, the film remained unnoticed until the release on VHS.
Mars attacks! (1996)/Mars Attacks!
Action/Comedy/Fantasy
Director:Tim Burton
Cast:Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito
Promo frame for the movie "Mars Attacks!"
We can not name the completely fantastic Tim Burton's fantastic comedy "Mars Attacks!", But the hundred-million-dollar box-office collections against the background of the 70 million budget and a dozen of the first-magnitude stars engaged in the film make us consider the picture to be at least below its capabilities. It would seem that Burton, "rested" on "Ede Wood" and returned with a new eccentric production, similar to "Beetlejus" or "Batman," and quoted in the credits Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Danny De Vito and another two dozen other popular artists should cause a real spectator's tsunami, sweeping away tickets from the cashier's cassettes, but the rental was modest. Perhaps the satire seemed too caustic, and maybe retrostylistics "did not go," but the potential went into the air.
Can not wait (1998)/Can not Hardly Wait
Comedy/Romance
Directed by:Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan
Cast:Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ethan Embry, Charlie Corsmo, Lauren Ambrose, Peter Facinelli
Photo from the set of the film "I can not wait"
The musical teenage comedy "Can not wait" was shot right between the exit to the horror screens "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its sequel, so you can not name the green debutante Jennifer Love Hewitt, who starred in all three tapes. Her screen partners also appeared in the frame for the first time, although they were probably not as popular as they were years later: Peter Facinelli, Seth Green, Jason Segel, Selma Blair, Clea Duvall, Jerry O'Connell and many others. The impressive composition of young energetic actors allowed the film to repulse the production budget twice, but this amount of box office fees was all the same miserable against the background of other tapes - only $ 25 million.
Mystery Men (1999)/Mystery Men
Action/Comedy/Science Fiction/Fantasy
Directed by:Kinka Asher
Cast:Ben Stiller, Janine Garofalo, William H. Macy, Hank Azaria, Kel Mitchell
Promo-frame to the film "Mysterious people"
Against the backdrop of the success of the Avengers, one can not help but recall the "Mysterious People" - a kind of parody of a comic book adaptation of self-taught superheroes fighting with a mad psychopath. Unfavorably speaking about superheroic stamps, the film, however, itself is based on a graphic novel about a character called Burning Carrots, fortunately, from the direct adaptation of the comic, the authors refused. But under the "umbrella" of "Mysterious people" managed to attract a curious cast, in which stand out Ben Stiller, Jeffrey Rush, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Greg Kinner and Claire Forlani. Alas, the impressive caste picture at the box office did not help - the tape failed to repel even half of its 68 million budget in theaters.
Bobby (2006)/Bobby
biographical/drama/historical
Director:Emilio Esteves
Cast:Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Emilio Esteves, Lawrence Fishburn
Shot from the movie "Bobby"
The biographical drama "Bobby", telling about the attempt on senator Robert Kennedy and its consequences, deserved much more attention than was awarded to the audience - the film, although it snatches only a small episode of extensive history, shows a rather voluminous picture of moods and trends within the American society of the second half 60's. It's not even necessary to talk about interest in the actors' project, and Laurence Fishburne and Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt and Sharon Stone, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Martin Sheen and Shia Labaf, responded to the call for work in Emilio Estevez's film, for Lindsay Lohan role in this film and at all became the pinnacle of a career. But ordinary spectators were not impressed - the band traveled a lot of festivals, was nominated for dozens of different awards, but in theaters earned only $ 20 million.
Great Game (2009)/State of Play
Action/Detective/Drama/Thriller
Director:Kevin McDonald
Cast:Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren, Robin Wright
Shot from the movie "The Great Game"
"Great Game" of British Kevin McDonald, according to the idea of Universal, was to attract the viewer to the difficult genre of political thriller by the presence of brilliant actors in a large project team. The band was really impressive: Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck in the foreground, Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright and Helen Mirren - on the second, Jeff Daniels and Jason Bateman on the backstage - the audience should be blown to the cinema for such a movie. But the reality turned out to be more prosaic: the journalistic investigation turned out to be too dry, the conclusions were not bold enough, and the denouement was far from original. At the box office, the film showed itself extremely weakly, and the actors involved in it hurried to change to more vivid images.
Spy, get out! (2011)/Dame, König, As, Spion
detective/drama/thriller
Director:Thomas Alfredson
Cast:Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Toby Jones, Mark Strong
A shot from the movie "Spy, Get Out!"
Brilliant detective spy thriller "Spy, get out!", Based on the works of the legendary John Le Carré directed by Thomas Alfredson, in all genre canons had to become a hit. It has everything: fascinating investigation, chilling blood atmosphere of danger, sensation of claustrophobia and mistrust of everyone to everyone, romantic inserts and an unexpected ending. But the mass audience is serious, thoughtful cinema did not appreciate, give him kinomikiksy and race on cars. And this despite the fact that the actor's ensemble in this truly British thriller is just magical: Gary Oldman and John Hurt, Toby Jones and Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy, Mark Strong and Svetlana Khodchenkova. What else do you need, people ?!
Scream 4 (2011)/Scream 4
detective/horror
Director:Wes Craven
Starring:Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Hayden Panettiere, Kristen Bell
Promo-frame to the film "Scream 4"
The world box office of the fourth part of the franchise "Scream" collected in the world box office a little less than $ 100 million, and almost any other horror would call such a result the greatest success, but not the postmodern brainchild of Wes Craven. The new series, which came out 11 years after the end of the classic trilogy, was not just to revive interest in popular heroes, but to launch a new series of films, but unimportant box office results and rather restrained criticism put the cross on these plans - the franchise was reborn into a mediocre television series that did not can withstand no comparison with the original. Of course, it's a pity that nothing worthwhile came from "Scream 4", many viewers would certainly not have refused to look again at the confrontation between the heroes of Niv Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Kristen Bell, Anna Pakuin and Rory Culkin with mysterious assassins in sinister masks.
Sin City 2: A Woman Who Says to Kill (2014)/Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
thriller
Directed by:Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez
Cast:Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rosario Dawson
Shot from the film "The City of Sins 2: A Woman for the sake of which it is worth to kill"
Robert Rodriguez, with all his enthusiasm and rich imagination, often does not feel when it is worth stopping in the operation of the once successful heroes and plot schemes. This is expressed in the shooting of completely unnecessary extensions, which only spoil the impression of the original films - here you can include "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", and "Spy Kids 3", and "Machete Kills", but the most failed was "Sin City 2" ". The continuation of the cult noir did not save the abundance of star names in the credits, the tape went to the bottom under the weight of deceived expectations and lost time. Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Juneau Temple and Lady Gaga, who joined Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson from the first film, you can only sympathize.
