What’s An Example Of A Perfectly Good Film That Was Ruined By A Specific Casting Choice?

Sometimes a great actor can be all wrong for a role.

Filmmaking is like having endless chains holding together a project; one bad link can break everything. Sometimes, you might enjoy a movie, but a particular performance leaves you wondering: “Why did they cast that person for this role?” A miscast can downgrade a great movie to just okay and bring a good movie to a facepalm-worthy reaction.

I want to know from the BuzzFeed Community: What’s an example of a perfectly good film that was ruined by a specific casting choice?

For example, you might think that despite an imperfect script, Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Lex Luthor hindered any chance of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice being successful.

Warner Bros. Pictures

Maybe you’re the biggest Dan Brown fan, and when you heard that Tom Hanks would play Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code, you rolled your eyes faster than you can say “Mary Magdalene.”

Columbia Pictures

Or perhaps you thought the live-action Ghost in the Shell (2017) had the visuals to be a classic, but Scarlett Johannson as Motoko Kusanagi left you wondering if she was the white or wrong person for the role.

Paramount Pictures

Not what you envisioned from the book? A terrible choice for a remake? Whatever the miscast, please comment explaining why you feel the way you do about the casting choice. Your response could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post! If you prefer to stay anonymous, fill out this Google form.
