A Harrison Ford Raiders type actor might have worked for the role.
If they wanted to go more serious, someone like Russell Crowe who has done a great job with period pieces but he is too old.
Taylor Kitsch is 30 years old. He did a pretty good job with Remy in Wolverine. His dialogue in the previews is painful to watch. Kind of like Keanu Reeves as Harker in Dracula.
Agreed with your first two ideas.
And, “Taylor Kitsch”? Please, how could that ever work? “Taylor”? “Kitsch”? Can’t make that into a John Carter.
You guys are all criticizing this movie without having seen it. Basing everything on what some New York Times movie critic said.
How idiotic is that?
Nah, Russel Crowe has douchebagged out, he’s done.
They should have gone with Sam Worthington, the new Russel Crowe.
