In Reply to: I'd be more optimistic had he cast good actors... posted by ToshiroMeyers on December 3, 2004 at 12:41:11:
Why does Jack Black seem so wrong for this part? In the original, the wise-cracking loudmouth producer (Carl Denham, essayed by Robert Armstrong) was a mixture of determination, energy, annoyance and occasional comic relief; Jack Black not only looks the part, but if reined in could give the performance of his career to date. Naomi Watts also looks the part and her career hasn't been too shaby; can she pull off a believeable Faye Wray type? Who knows, but it it doesn't come across as bad casting on the surface. Adrian Brody "seems" an odd choice for Naomi's romantic lead, and I'm assuming that that is the role in which he has been cast, but his acting credentials aren't bad at all based on the roles he's essayed.The one thing which really stands out to me is that there are no BIG name stars have been cast, and to my way of thinking this hints at Jackson's ability to mold his vision of the period classic unencumbered by stale stereotypical performances where an established STAR (i.e., such as a Mel Gibson or a Nicholas Cage or a Keanu Reeves or a Renee Witherspoon, etc., etc.) gets a huge payday in order to open a film based on name recognition. This bodes well for the film, IMHO.
