    Title: "Debating the Worst Casting Choices in Movie History | Sean Chandler Plus"
    Description:
    In this episode of Sean Chandler Plus, we dive deep into the world of cinema to discuss some of the most controversial casting decisions ever made. From head-scratching choices to downright disappointing performances, we're dissecting the worst casting in movie history.
    Join Sean Chandler as he explores three prime examples of casting missteps that left audiences scratching their heads and wondering, "What were they thinking?"
    First up, we have Adrian Brody's surprising turn as the lead in "Predators." Did his portrayal live up to the iconic role set by Arnold Schwarzenegger? Or did it fall flat, leaving fans longing for the original Predator days?
    Next on the chopping block is Tom Cruise's casting as Jack Reacher. While Cruise is undoubtedly a Hollywood heavyweight, did he truly capture the essence of Lee Child's larger-than-life character? Or did his portrayal miss the mark, leaving die-hard fans of the novels disappointed?
    And finally, we'll delve into Nick Stahl's portrayal of John Connor in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines." Was Stahl able to fill the shoes of Edward Furlong's beloved character? Or did his performance leave fans of the franchise yearning for the days of Judgment Day?
    Join Sean Chandler as he navigates the world of casting controversies, offering his insights and inviting you to join the debate. Do you agree with these choices? Or do you have your own picks for the worst casting in movie history? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

      As worst casting choice, I would've thought of Tom Cruise in The Mummy. I love Tom Cruise, he's a formidable actor in action movies. But, in The Mummy, I felt he wasn't sure where to stood in between action or comedy. It was kind of awkward to see him in this movie.

      Yes, I remember being put off by the casting originally of Adrien Brody. But he was Excellent, and a bad ass in a really good movie. I don’t think I had seen him in an action movie style role, but of course he could do it. He was known as The Pianist, not a kick ass Mercenary.

    The big two that come to mind.
    Adam Sandler as Paul Crewe in The Longest Yard was f@@@@@g ridiculous. Adam playing a former NFL QB and tough guy character doesn't work on any level. The original movie is damn near perfect anyway and it didn't need a remake.
    Al Pacino as Tom Dobb in Revolution, it takes place during the American Revolutionary war, Pacino plays a fur trapper, and he joins to fight against the British, but the problem is that Pacino looks and sounds like a New Yorker in 1985. His acting isn't awful, and the movie isn't as bad as the critics were saying at that time but you can't overlook this Italian New Yorker playing this character. It's funny but does distract you from the movie.

    The obvious size mismatch aside, I thought Cruise actually did a great job channelling Reacher's demeanor, as someone who's read all the books. Obviously there's a baseline you have to meet to convincingly play Reacher (namely, the threshold of six feet) but I thought he got the attitude down pat, and I like how McQuarrie and Co. reworked his fighting style to suit his height while still keeping the minimalist Reacher fight approach

    So many but here are some off the top of my head in no order.
    Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker in Dracula, love the guy but that just didn't work, and he was the weakest thing in that very good movie.
    Leo in Gangs of New York, I can't buy Leo as this tough Irish guy in 1860s NYC, his accent was all over the place and I will throw Cameron Diaz in as bad casting for the same reasons. That movie was very flawed and really saved by DDL as Bill the Butcher.
    That Game of Thrones chick as Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys was awful, I guess in all fairness to her, the whole movie was awful, but she was still a bad choice and would've still been bad even if the rest of the movie was good.
    Zendaya as Chani in the Dune movies, I really like both movies and the book is one of my favorites but she completely fails at capturing that character from the books and her acting in general is very moody mixed with flat.
    Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, he's too good looking and cocky in the wrong kind of way. He felt more emo and jerky instead of being a nerd. You can put the blame on the writing for some of it but he looks like the kind of guy that would bully Peter Parker. Maybe he would've made a better Harry.
    Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor is in the debate for worst casting maybe ever in a superhero movie. Nothing about him is like Lex and he's just giving us a more annoying version of his performance from The Social Network.
    Sanda Bullock as Leigh in The Blindside, her winning an Oscar for that movie was ridiculous and she's a New Yorker doing one of the worst southern accents that I've ever heard in a movie.
    Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049, I like the movie overall, but I don't think he has that Harrison Ford toughness to carry that kind of movie and he doesn't work as a tough guy. I think Ryan is better as the wimp guy like in The Nice Guys. He has charisma in his own way, but Harrison Ford has more of a dry wit and you could buy him beating dudes up back in the day. Not so much with Ryan.

Keegan however I don’t buy as Bumblebee whatsoever, he’s too old for a character that’s supposed to be young, plus his comedy already went overboard and it was just the trailer alone

    With all due respect, most, if not all, of the hate about Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher comes from those who have read the books prior to watching the movie. As one who has not read the books, and looking at the movie on its own merits, I don’t really have a problem with the casting. With the Amazon Prime series, Alan Ritchson better embodies the character as laid out in the source material, I’m told. But I view the two as different adaptations of the source material. Much as “The Last Man on Earth” (1964), “The Omega Man” (1971), and “I Am Legend” (2007) are all separate adaptations of the source material of the book, “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson. With “The Last Man on Earth” (1964) being the closest to the source material. I can appreciate all three, however, and not excoriate them for their differences. But one question for all those “Jack Reacher” purists, did / do you have a problem with Hugh Jackman’s (6’2”) portrayal of the Wolverine (’5’3”)? If not, why not?

    The Jack Reacher movies wouldn’t have been made without Tom Cruise expressing interest in the role. I saw an interview with Lee Childs, the author of the Reacher series, he said the first movie was in Hollywood turnaround hell. Wasn’t until Tom Cruise and his production company came onboard that the project finally entered preproduction phase.
    That Uncharted movie is totally miscast. Antonio Banderas was fine but his character wasn’t in much of the third act for reasons.
    Actually about two out of three Mark Wahlberg movies are all wrong for him. Chris Pratt is having the similar results. He’s just ok but there are probably better actors out there. For some reason Wahlberg and Pratt have box office appeal.

    And Jack Black does a way better job, But he sounds like he’s doing an impression of Bowser rather than being Bowser.
