Up to this point, I was really okay with Chris Evans ruining every potentially great movie in the past 5 years or so, but this is some seriously dangerous ground. He has stepped into the only realm that I had hoped Hollywood wouldn't *beep* with and is about to wipe his ass with Kerouac's memory which simply put, makes me want to puke my face off...
shareI agree with angel- don't go sh*tting all over Chris before you've seen at least a partial clip of the movie. Judging from the interview with Krokidas, the director of this film clearly holds this particular story close to his heart, and he wouldn't have cast Evans in such a major role if he didn't trust in him to do a good job.
shareAll this without even watching a second of footage.
shareChris is actually a pretty decent actor when given half-way decent material to work with. I would hardly call Fantastic Four an approrpiate vehicle for him to demonstrate his acting chops. Give him a chance, he may surprise you.
sharethere are no bad roles, only bad actors.

That is completely untrue Lolaposen. Quit trying to boil things down to one half-assed piece of "cinematic wisdom" which you clearly lack.
shareGet the stick out of your @ss. Not once did I ever imply that I think of myself as a movie connoisseur. It's simplistic maybe, but I think it's generally pretty true.
You see it all the time. An actor in a scene-stealing role when, if you think about it, would have been nothing to notice about had it been inhabited by a lesser actor. You know you've found a truly special actor when he or she can elevate a small, thankless role - I'm sure you can think of a lot of examples yourself. Obviously a single bad performance doesn't apply to an entire career. Chris Evans was ok in the Fantastic Four movies and I can't really gauge his overall talent from these movies. But could a great actor have taken that role and made it better? I think it's possible.
Loudness Isn't Power
heh, not often you come across a random post you made nearly four years later...
I know you didn't imply anything, I never suggested an implication :P
I agree that there are scene-stealing actors, but on the flip side there are also directors that are scene-stealing, or material that does the same.
and i still think it was a trollish thing to say..
shareHave you seen Fierce People? He was amazing in that film. I thought that he also did a great job in Street Kings. I've been saying for a while now that Chris Evans is a very underrated actor. The problem you may be having is that you only see him in his "comedy relief" roles like Fantastic Four or Not Another Teen Movie. Why don't you actually go see some of his serious films before passing judgment.
shareWhy so het up about Chris Evans playing Jack Kerouac?. The IMDB cast has Jack Huston in the part of Kerouac. Evans isn't even in the movie, it seems. Michael Finlan, Galway, Ireland
shareThis post was from 2009 when he was in talks for the role. Just to let you know

You people are so stupid. Most of you who haven't been apart of IMDb since forever like me, aren't apt to reading the DATE of the post.
Anywho, Chris Evans is no longer in the movie. Read the cast list. It's done. Who cares about Chris Evans now? He sucks anyways...
**Hey Torch, whatcha doin?**
Chris Evans was quite good in Sunshine and The Iceman. He tends to lose charisma in most of his other roles.
Do you have any talents?
Well, I'm an Alcoholic.
Dont forget to add radcliffe as a fellow murderer .
