>Jackson was in works at the time to secure Sean Connery as Gandalf, who would've reportedly received 10% of all earnings
>Cage says his life at the time precluded him from “being able to travel and be away from home for three years.”
>Cage was also offered a role as Neo in the Matrix which he turned down.
>Nicolas Cage cited prior obligations to Christmas Carole: The Movie and Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Reminds me of another similar incident where Adam Sandler turned down Jamie Foxx’s character in Collateral and instead made some stupid movie that lost $25 million

I love Cage but thank god he never got any of these roles

God intervened to make sure we got a perfect cast

honestly the trilogy is a once in a lifetime miracle. it was made right before hollywood fully embraced diversity propaganda.

I think Cage could have done it, if he really cared. Obviously he didn't, so luckily he didn't take the role.

You're all correct, anons.

As much as I appreciate Collateral, after seeing recent performances from adam sandler, I think that would've been much better casting.

>God
go protest your government's alleged power creep at your local baskin robbins you absolute shitstain of a fucking human

These roles are below Cage. Cage needs a Cage style role. Not some Hollywood pop movie.

based schizo poster

seems to have struck a chord with this schizo atheist faggot

I reckon Sandler could have pulled it off tbqh senpai

I'll give you a (You) for being bold enough to post such obvious bait.

It would have been cool to see Cage cameo as an orc at least.

Everything has to be political for you doesn't it? Life sure was great before those dirty SJWs ruined everything. You think getting your president elected would make you people stop acting like victims.

>Uma Thurman opened up about being offered the role of Eowyn
>She said she had just had a child and unable to fulfill travel obligations for the required 3 years of filming
>Reflecting back on it Uma expressed that turning down that role "haunted her" and if she could go back in time she would "absolutely" do it

now that is good casting

I think Connery would've been decent as Gandalf. Probably not as good as McKellan was, but no one would have found fault with his performance.

Politics is simply the understanding of human organization, so yes everything is innately political.

Shoo, disingenuous shitposter.

suck my dick

you know what would happen if they tried to make the exact same LOTR trilogy today? People would moan and bitch endlessly that there was no minority or strong female representation and the producers would cave

>no ... strong female representation
le Eowyn meme

No you suck my dick you faggot ass rent free shitposter. Did you forget about the shoe horned in female shit in LOTR? Did you forget "I AM NO MAN" did you forget the love scene fucking dream scenes?

Acting like SJWs are suddenly ruining holywood is faggot talk from someone who wasn't a rent free retard years back, but now has soaked so deep into Yas Forums that you think the spooky feminists have taken over. Maybe because you watched LOTRs as a kid before you became a socially retarded shut in who hates women, just guessing, whatever it is the point stands that LOTRs was as "sjw" as modern holywood.

He's not wrong, Chaim

That shit was in the books you colossal retard.

>A cold voice answered: “Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn! He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.”

>A sword rang as it was drawn. “Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.”

>“Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!”

>Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. “But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn I am, Eomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”

there is a difference between honoring the source material and portraying an actually feminine character like eowyn, and the crap Hollywood sticks in a marvel movie where they castrate the men, cast minorities in white roles, and make the women infallible lesbians who pretend to be men

Why do pretend celebrities aren't pushing their leftist politics everytime they open their mouth?

>marvel movie where they castrate the men, cast minorities in white roles, and make the women infallible lesbians who pretend to be men
lmao

have you considered that it was just amazing source material?

If I was an actor I feel like I’d just accept every role I was offered if there wasn’t a scheduling conflict. Would that be a bad way to do things?

of course it is. my point is that if they made these movies today, they would be ruined by hollywoods endless liberal agenda and diversity casting.

just like they ruined star wars

>marvel movie where they castrate the men, cast minorities in white roles, and make the women infallible lesbians who pretend to be men
Aren't like two-thirds of the Avengers white men?
