Guess Who? Makers of this under-production action film are stressed out with their lead actor's recent dud
Can you guess which actor is being referred to in this blind item?
A leading online magazine has published a blind item which has got us scratching our heads. Can you guess whom are they talking about?
Here's what it reads:
The buzz in film circles is that the makers of an action film under production are ‘stressed out’ by the recent dud of their leading man. The studio has never worked with the actor before and has taken a leap of faith in signing him as the male lead of their movie, which they envision as a potential franchise. The actor—whom many have described as ‘a character actor in leading man’s garb—has proven his credentials as a performer repeatedly, but mostly while playing well-defined characters. Success has eluded him when he has tried to play the ‘hero’. In the new film that will likely release next year, he has been cast as an action star, and its fortunes could ride largely on his charisma and ability to look good in cool costumes and driving fancy cars. While his recent film did flop, it also positioned him as a heartthrob.
Insiders say the studio will work hard to repackage his image closer to their film’s release. The movie is still being shot and the director couldn’t be happier with his leading man’s commitment, but everyone involved with the project— including the gentleman in question—is aware that an image overhaul might be desperately needed.
