Theo James replaces Adrien Brody in S. Craig Zahler’s gangster thriller ‘THE BOOKIE AND THE BRUISER’

Why is Brody out? Insufferable?

I was molested by that kid who played Theo on the Cosby Show.

I love his beautiful brown skin.

Brody dropped out because he can't be seen working with the likes of Vince Vaughn after his (new) Oscar win.

Ha, yes! When I read the article all I could think was "Eeew" when I read Vaughn's name. (would have same reaction before I found out he's MAGA) His filmography has been dismal for years. But Brody could back out of his contract just like that?

Of ANYONE saw Adrien Brody play a gangster on Peeky Blinders, you know they this is a good change and merciful decision for Adrien Brody.

Literally amazed he has a career after that. They’re still talking about it on Reddit.

Tons of actors have dropped out of films before filming starts

I hadn't thought of it until r6's post -- Peeky Blinders actors became back-to-back Best Actor winners, not just the Oscar's, IIRC. I never saw PB, but what a contrast they must have been. Cillian Murphy is such a subtle actor and Brody is not.

When will his homosexual version, Ben Aldridge, start getting these opportunities?

What does Oscar possess?

Good. I am sick of Brody and his female Weinstein sidekick

The script must be terrible.

R2 Can you stop?

I don't know r10, but my autocorrect is possessed.

I can't stop looking at that photo, he genuinely looks like a marble statue of some Ancient Greek statesman.
