Actors you were surprised to see cast in certain roles and/or movies

>fucks for roles
>unexpected

>>213835320
You weren't surprised Natalie played a foul-mouthed Ranger, anon? As opposed to, say, James Franco and Danny McBride being cast as stoner retards?

>>213835251 (OP)
Chris Reeves' first role after Superman was the very low budget time travel fantasy Somewhere in Time. It turned into quite the cult movie over time but it was a huge surprise that this was his followup to his breakout role.

>>213835251 (OP)
Jim Carrey as Robotnik

>>213835251 (OP)
She would not have the strength to pull that bow

>>213835537
fem chicks with weapons is hot tho......

>>213835251 (OP)
Maitland Ward

She had her butt out in this movie.

>>213836608
das rite timmy

Did someone get banged by a minotaur in this movie or did I make that up?

>>213835537
I hate the femme-archer trope so much.

>>213837192
I think it was going to rape the scrawny servant guy but McBride stopped it. I really can't remember.

>>213837192
>>213837274
Nope you didn't imagine it; gay servant boy did indeed get taken by the Minotaur. Seriously, other than Natalie's scenes, I find the whole movie rather insufferable.

All I remember of this entire film is Natalie looking sexy and showing her ass.

>>213835251 (OP)
This movie was straight up fucking ASS. Only joke that made me chuckle was when the villain guy said he knew he was gonna fuck the damsel in distress lady when he saw her as a newborn.

>>213837431
Yeah, for me it's just eye candy from nat and zooey (pic). It's fun to watch nat talk about her beaver burning for revenge but that stuff doesn't really stand up to repeated viewings. T&A, however, does.

>>213835251 (OP)
I don't know if it was unexpected or more LOL, but little Lucy Liu as the dominatrix in Payback.

>>213838831
First asian fetish experience though.

>>213837242
The legend of the Amazons was born because the Greeks saw Scythian horsewomen with bows.

>>213835500
Wonderful movie. Why can’t we have anymore actors like Christopher Reeves?

>>213837711
Looks a lot better with out the bangs, she almost looks like a different person.

>>213837242
I thought it worked pretty well in LOTR

>>213839318
They literally sent him the script printed in gold ink by the way

>>213837711
dis bitch peaked in Elf

>>213839238
I first saw it when it came out because my sister wanted to see it. I just went because it had Superman in it. I remember liking it (because it also had gorgeous Jane Seymour), but my appreciation for it as an adult is completely different. Really great romantic movie about love and loss, forget the time travel nonsense.

>>213835251 (OP)
reminder her real name is neta lee
not natalie

>>213835251 (OP)
This was not just surprise casting (Saoirse in an action movie?), but the director surprised me too (Joe Wright, from Pride & Prejudice and Atonement fame). Actually it was Saoirse who recommended him. Still a surprise. Not usually the kind of film I like but the surprise pairing was kino.

>>213840119
In order for it to be surprise casting people actually would have to know who Saoirse Ronan was at the time, which they didn't.

>>213840166
Yes they did, from Atonement, for which she received an Oscar nomination, and The Lovely Bones.

>>213840276
Lots of people nobody has heard of get Oscar nominations, especially for supporting actor. And nobody saw The Lovely Bones, it was critically panned and flopped.

I was there as a fully grown adult, little nigga. She wasn't famous until the mid to late 2010s. Really, the average person who doesn't have child actor fap folders didn't know her until Ladybird.

>>213840166
>>213840430
this sounds like YOU hadn't heard of her and assume no one else had

>>213839179
No, some retard *thinks* that's where it originated, anon. Learn the difference. All this conjecture is from modernized scholars.

Scythian women were allowed to become warriors, this did not give them the ability draw back and accurately fire a bow capable of killing from a horse.

>>213840508
>mm yes this is very surprising casting, i would not have expected this of this child actor in her first big starring vehicle, judging by the rest of her long and storied career
just take the L, dumbfuck

even this weirdo frumpty fat no muscle chick can draw a 60# bow. i've seen women draw up to 120#, though they had freakishly over developed muscles.

>>213835537
It's a recurve bow not a longbow, it could be as little as 30 lbs draw weight, which most women who haven't even trained would be able to shoot.

>>213840166
>>213840276
>Yes they did, from Atonement
The only reason I saw Hanna was because Saoirse was in it. I've been a fan of hers since Atonement (same for James McAvoy, I was already a fan of Keira Knightley when Atonement was made).

>>213840969
try to think about it from the perspective of someone who isn't a pedophile

Julie Andres in SOB, entirely because her character has a topless scene. Mary Poppins shows her boobs! Quite scandalous at the time. Also quite funny, though I appreciate it much more now than I did as a kid. Pic: Julie on the SOB with director/husband Blake Edwards (taken the day they shot the topless scene - that's the same red robe she's wearing).

Here's an oldie but it still surprises me that Stanwyck took the role, as she was at the height of her fame and was the highest paid actress in Hollywood. The movie's a hoot, unfortunately it's a B movie with a top of the A list lead and that shows whenever anyone other than Stanwyck is the center of attention.

>>213835251 (OP)
Alan Rickman as Louis XIV. He directed too. Pretty good if you like the actors involved (which I do). Another Alan Rickman surprise casting that's more in hindsight: he played a gay artist in The January Man, which is not a very good movie despite having some nice nudity from Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

>>213843569
Alan rickman was accepting literally any and every role throughout his life

>>213843606
True. I'd put Galaxy Quest itt also, he was a genius in the role but it was a surprise to see him in it. Actually, it's been a while since I've seen that one, going to have to rewatch it again soon.
