how can they make this without tobey, leo, affleck?


isn't that kind of the story - everyone wanted to play with the celebs? tobey especially was such a big part of it

Because it's Sorkin movie and his scripts need people who can act.

They either have to play themselves or not have them in the movie. I mean, can you imagine another actor playing the true life version of another actor in his prime? It would be a first in cinema I think. The only thing that comes close is Julia Roberts fictional character in Oceans 11 playing as Julia Roberts in that one scene and John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich.

In the scene where they were talking about movie rights to her book, I was expecting her to say something about how she wants Jessica Chastain to play her.

Well, they did make the film without them and it was handled smoothly. On snap!

Something tells me that these actors would be uncomfortable being involved in this production anyway.

Well, since Player X is actually Maguire, I don't think he would associate himself with a film that depicts him as a total douche. Additionally, DeCaprio and Affleck would be way too expensive.

Feel igsignifcant and unimportant with these hollywood elites playing poker with money I would litterally die for.

Still havent visited Hollywood yet. But seems like a fake egotistical cesspool. But I could see myself if I was younger a powerful, being a mysgonist pig and trying to sleep with as many women as possible. If i was... an elite.
