Sean Connery turned down both Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and Morpheus in The Matrix because he didn't understand the scripts. He turned down Dumbledore in Harry Potter because it was too fantastical. Then he tried a reverse approach where he accepted the next role he didn't understand, because clearly that was where the money was at. So he accepted Allan Quartermain in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a movie which flopped hard. Then he ragequit the industry and retired.
I love that movie, I thought he did great in it too
Same here. It’s a fun action romp with some interesting characters. I get that it’s not peak cinema but it’s still good.
Some of the CGI in it is insanely good too (the invisible man), Corridor Crew did a react episode or two about it.
And that car, though.
I mean, it had nothing to do with him, but still. Goddamn sexy car.
Honestly, Sean Connery as Gandalf would have been shit.
But imagine him 'asking harry calmly'
The movie made a decent bit of money, just terrible reviews.
He was interviewed by Czech TV during the premiere and was asked if the viewers should go see it. He said that he's getting paid for every ticket sold and therefore yes! Everyone should see it!
I remember liking LOEG
I recently rewatched it and it was a good romp for sure. I never read the comics but apparently it was super unlike the comics it was based on which was part of its problem. Generally pissing off your core audience of fans in an adaptation is bad for the outcome of the movie
Worked for Constantine!
That's the only one I know of.
As someone who has never read the Constantine comics, I enjoyed the movie with Keanu Reeves. I haven't re-watched it in years though, so I wonder if it holds up.
I watch it at least once a year, including earlier this year, and it absolutely holds up.
Made me laugh. I dont know how true it is but its funny. :)
Sean Connery also came out of retirement to be part of this monstrosity
Holy shit, I never even heard of that, and the poster gives me an idea why. Was this by request from his grandkids or something?
According the Wikipedia page he did it as a favor to the creators. They do not have their own Wikipedia page so I have no idea how they know him. The film was pretty much universally hated for virtually every aspect.
This article says the director was a friend of a friend, and "the first animated film made in Scotland" played on his national pride.
It also says I got the order wrong, and that he declined all those roles after The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
