The $250k figure is what was called a lowball for Rourke's (ostensibly) larger role in IM2 than Jackson has, so we don't know that Sam was demanding millions for ten minutes. <BR/><BR/>Paul: that's the price of deciding you want the Avengers movie to include the casts from all the related pictures. Each individual franchise needs talent that can carry it, with the Avengers then having 3-5 movies worth of potential tent pole stars.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734361945694475981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-52842819870427256442009-01-26T19:12:00.000-05:002009-01-26T19:12:00.000-05:00Looking around that MTV page, Rockwell says he has...Looking around that MTV page, Rockwell says he has already signed on to play Hammer. Though he knew nothing about the character which could be a concern. Also a rather worrying story that Billy Bob Thornton could have potentially got cast as Stark.<BR/><BR/>They would be better off going with the Crimson Dynamo though for Rourke I feel. I'd have concerns about how Whiplash's gimp suit attire would look on the big screen. They'd probably need to redesign it. But then would you want another robot vs robot fight. Hmm, pros and cons.<BR/><BR/>I don't think you can blame Marvel all that much for this, if they can save some cash out of it then it's worth it to them. Although if the actors felt insulted, then that could be a problem. This is probably only the tip of the iceberg though. When 'The Avengers' comes around they could feel a huge burn on wages alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-4521453260722024402009-01-26T17:43:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:43:00.000-05:00I wonder how much he was paid to be in the first a...I wonder how much he was paid to be in the first and how much screen time he'll have in the second. If it's not a lot then why pay millions for 10 minutes? He could be a real douche and demand a huge amount or he won't do an Avengers movie but c'mon he doesn't deserve a giant pay check for 10 minutes. No one does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-21918044831697074532009-01-26T11:54:00.000-05:002009-01-26T11:54:00.000-05:00Given the fact that Sam Jackson (who is set to be ...Given the fact that Sam Jackson (who is set to be in several Marvel Studios movies as Nick Fury) was lowballed as well, I don't buy into it being based on the amount of screen time he's getting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734361945694475981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-53521296692184875912009-01-26T08:47:00.000-05:002009-01-26T08:47:00.000-05:00Well to be fair there's always some sort of bump f...Well to be fair there's always some sort of bump for when you win an award. But if Rourke DIDN'T win then who the hell would care? And from some of the stuff I've read online his part in the movie DOING stuff may only be 10 to 15 minutes. I say lowball the hell out of that one. Gets him in the movie, yay more publicity, puts him in a successful movie, and it's a paycheck.<BR/><BR/>The same should be said for Rockwell. Especially if it's the same situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
