Stuff that may be of interest to GetBiggers ,,, And maybe not!

[stuntmovie]

I've been meaning to post some photos that could possibly be of interest to most GetBiggers but have hesitated to do so until I got enough to be of any form of interest.

Some of you GetBiggers may have GetBig related stuff to pass along but it just might not  be important enough to start its own Topic.

So consider this to be a mixed bag of shit that may be of interest to one and all and maybe to no one in particular.

Add some shit of your own if you can't find another place on this GetBig Board to add it to.

FIRST thing I have found to be of interest lately is ..... There's a new art gallery in Las Vegas within the high class Cosmopolitan Hotel/Casino that specializes in colorful MMA 'art'. These 5+ foot "paintings" are enlarged black and white photos of fighters wearing bright, painted 'uniforms'. The attached photos do not do the artist justice but will give you a good idea of what this 'art' looks like.

Tragically entertaining.

Thanks, Tre! (I think.)

Met with some Hollywood movie insiders over Starbuck's coffee and have been informed that Hollywood was searching for an actor who represented 'Supertman' physically but they did not go beyond those actors who are presently represented by accredited Hollywood agents or those agencies recognized by the studios.

One stated that an actor's acting ability was more important than the physique that Superman is supposed to have according to the artists' conception.

On a couple of occasions I unofficially presented photographs of a couple of GetBiggers in an attempt to show them what Superman should look like on screen without the need of "padded muscle' or expensive computerized motion capture necessities ....and there was genuine interest .... but that interest was followed  by two general questions:

1. What's his acting background?
2. Who's his agent?

And my non-respose ended that conversation which led into a discussion of whom would be appropriate to cast as Hobbit's in Peter Jackson's next production (The Hobbit) which is presently getting underway in New Zealand.

(Swede, you have an agent? Do you have an acting background?)

(BTW .... I am not an agent nor am I involved in the casting process for any forthcoming film.)

Hollywood's visualization of the Superman character is completely adverse to the  present day artists' way of thinking ... and I keep on hearing the same 'excuse' ...."Can he act?" and "Who's his agent?".

Fill those two necessities and a many million dollar opportunity awaits.

Some GetBiggers are capable of presenting Supe more appropriately than any of the above.

Past Casting Call Opportunities for Qualified GetBiggers....

Forthcoming Hollywood films which required some form of muscularity.

Ant-Man (2012)
The Avengers – Large cast. (May 2012)
Batman 3 Project – Christian Bale. By Chris Nolan once again. (July 2012)
Captain America - Chris Evans (July 2012)
Conan – Hawaii’s Jason Momoa (2011)
Deadpool -  (2012)
Fantastic Four Project – Recast plus Bruce Willis (2013)
Ghost Ridert -  Nicholas Cage (2011)
The Green Hornet – Seth Rogen.  (Done)
The Green Lantern – Ryan Reynolds if the Green Lantern sequels permit. (June 2011)
Iron Man 3 – Robert Downey Jr. (2013)
Kick Ass 2: Balls to the Wall (2012)
Red Sonja – Rose McCowan (2011)
Spider-Man Project – Andrew Garfield. (July 2012)
Superman: Man of Steel – A Christopher Nolan project. (December 2012)
Thor – Chris Hemsworth. (May 2011)
X-Men: First Class – Recast (June 2011)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 – Hugh Jackson (2011)

The majority of the above individuals had acting experience, but some had almost none.
Each of the above had a Hollywood agent or an agent recognized within the movie making business.
Some background roles in the above motion pictures did not require acting experience.
A few GetBiggers would fit some of the above roles more appropriately, but failed to have Hollywood agents to promote them.

And there are more "super-hero" movies in the works .....

Stun, any info about Keith's autopsy ?

Tragically entertaining.

I'm a bit overwhelmed...not accustomed to this level of extreme entertainment without being prepared in advance...

Sounds cool and I've got a couple of days off now so maybe I should head up to Hollywood.   I'd probably make a better hobbit than Superman.    The real Steve Reeves might have been perfect, given  his height, looks and excellent physique.  I don't think a replacemet for Chris Reeve is easily found and Brandon should be given another shot at it. 

I remember the casting call for "Superman The Movie" in the late 70s and Reeve really nailed the role.  If any here have not yet screened it, I highly recommend watching "Superman II, the Richard Donner Cut", it shows just how the film should have been released and how great Reeve was in the role.  Superman is too iconic a character to mess up with either the casting or the storyline.  Outside the placing of Routh, the last Superman was a bummer for a fan such as myself.

Stuntmovie, if I can make it up there from San Diego, I'd be pleased just to stop in and say hello and meet you.  If for whatever reason I can't get up there in the next day or two, or meeting is not possible at this time, no worries and I hope to make your (re?) acquaintance sometime in the future.

to the rest: spot on.

But i think that SOME acting abilities are really necessary, even if not even much.

I have yet to see a comic action movie that needs a lot of "acting".

The Avengers still has an upcoming casting call:

Have you ever thought about being a Hollywood agent?

Che, strange that you mentioned Keith's autopsy because myself and another good friend of Keith's were talking about the same subject this afternoon.

I''ll do my best to contact Keith's daughter tomorrow and ask her to bring us up to date if she does not mind discussing it on this board. I think that would be best left up to her.

Sno, In my next lifetime, I'm going back into the Corp and then semi-retire as an independent movie agent for family film projects.

In the meantime in this present lifespan I just enjoy my past movie making associations as an innocent bystander, dead guy on the highway, stunt coordinator, problem solver-helper, and future movie project discussion leader at various SoCal Starbucks locations and AA meetings with currently non-working film crews, actors, stunt guys and gals, and extras waiting for cell phone calls from their agents.

The agency biz in Hollywood is a very tuff nut to crack (so I've been told) and most real Hollywood agents initially suffer through an over-long period of something similar to a college fraternity hazing before they are able to be productive on their own.

But family connections always help and I think that there have been numerous movie and TV scripts written on this subject and eventually produced, but none come to mind at present.
 

So yea, I'd like to be an agent ..... but only if I owned the company or was employed as an independent agent with no long term association with an established company. I'd rather have the freedom of representing worthwhile clients who actually fit the roles as conceived in the script.

I think agents are failing to do just that at present - particularly when it comes to casting super-heros.

Has anyone seen a TV series called BLUE MOUNTAIN STATE???

Reeves, etal ,,, I'll respond tomorrow.
