What Is Anthony Hopkins Doing In Here?


Anthony Hopkins will star in Transformers. Sounds bizarre? Money keeps the world spinning after all, i guess.

What is Your opinion?

Oh look, there's an actor acting in a movie. And on top of that, he's making money for doing his job. How bizarre indeed.

I would urge the OP to not listen to people who tell you to ask any question, no matter how trivial. For him/her it would be better to never ask another question his/her life for posting such a morbid topic.

A great actor in a Transformers movie is pretty bizarre, hopefully this will indicate a massive improvement in the series quality overall.

To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock

There is already a list of the actors who have done well in other movies who have done Transformers movies. I'll add Orson Welles to that list. No one ever said they were making great films with these, but they do succeed at the box office while better (critically) films fail time and time again. They make more money making blockbuster movies now than thought provoking period pieces. Michael Bay makes good Michael Bay movies - I want to see a bunch of robots smacking each other around and if I have to go to the bathroom during the middle of the show, when I come back I won't have missed anything vital to my enjoyment of the show. Bang bang, I'll get you for that etc.
Kind of a shame though...

He has a thing for working with robots, "Westworld" , Transformers ...whatever.

Maybe it's not about the money at all. Actors act. He's just getting on in years so maybe he's taking whatever role he can get. It's sad, but true.

I think a couple years ago rumors spread that he wasn't interested in THOR 3, but apparently he's on board now.

paycheque, actors like him didn't make huge bucks in there younger days like young actors do now.

was wondering the same thing.

Michael bay must be holding one of Hopkin's family members hostage

reply

Just like Orson Welles

Or Lenod Nimoy...

Although nowadays doesn't work as well...

I would have thought him to be too classy to be associated with a guy like Bay, least he was cool enough to be on Thor but unlike the Bay movies, the Marvel action films has action and makes them with Class.

Hopckins is lucky to get a role in a such popular franchise and a blockbustter.
TF is a break fro hopkins not the other way around.

Check his latest movies...... and he played Odin in Thor movies...
