It's easy to end an actor's career in an inglorious state. One unsuccessful picture is enough. Low box office and devastating reviews instantly destroy reputation, devalue the Oscars and cut the way to good roles. Here are 12 crushing movie theaters, which cost the famous actors too expensive.
"Catwoman"
One of the Hollywood legends says: if you played the Bond girl, forget about the lead roles in other plays, you will not get them! It's amazing, but Halle Berry managed to break the trend. Although, how to say ... After the role of Dzhisinty in "Die, but not now" the actress starred in the films "X-Men" and "Catwoman." And the latter became her biggest mistake and the worst choice in the history of cinema. Superhero blockbuster, mercilessly baptized by critics "game of the sick mind," crashed at the box office and gave Halle Berry "Golden Raspberry". And although after the actress reappeared in the "X-Men", there was not a single outstanding role in her career.
"Tooth Fairy"
Of course, now we often hear about Johnson Dwayne, nicknamed "Rock" and remember his amazing films "Wide Stepping", "Fast and the Furious" and "Rescuers Malibu." However, after filming in the comedy "Tooth Fairy" - a kind of family fantasy with flat humor and a monstrous plot - the actor was sent into a long link to the periphery of the cinema. Duane is the same type of actor as Vin Diesel, big, bald and damn strong. However, Vin Diesel coped with the "Bald Nanny", and Rock with the "Tooth Fairy" could not.
"After Earth"
Perhaps you think, such actors as Will Smith, can not be wrong. "Prince of Beverly Hills," "People in Black," "Wild, Wild West," "In pursuit of happiness" - the actor and the truth worthy of the track record. However, the picture "After our era", in which "lucky" to play both Will Smith and his son Jayden, almost ruined the career of both. The commercial failure and six nominations of the tape for the "Golden Raspberry" have seriously undermined the reputation of the actors. Cope with the damage caused by the film-catastrophe, Will Smith was able only recently, starring in the film "Defender".
"Spiderman-3"
The first part of the superhero franchise "Spider-Man" became cult, the second more than justified the expectations of fans. It was that rare case, when the sequel is not inferior to the original. No one thought that the third "Spider-Man" would fail at the box office. Moreover, in the film was supposed to appear the main enemy of Peter Parker - Venom. Topher Grace, who played the main villain, had every chance of success. But we know the fate of the final part of the trilogy. Several director's mistakes and an oversimplified melodrama overly complicated plot led to the fact that, having reached the wide screen, "Spiderman-3" disappointed even the most forgiving fans of the franchise.
"Island of thugs"
This picture destroyed the reputation of the director and two actors at once. After the release and the crushing failure of the Isle of the Cutters, neither its creator Renny Harlin nor the performers of the leading roles Matthew Modine and Gina Davis worked more on significant projects.
"Rollerball"
There is no film more horrible than "Rollerball". In any case, if it's about your acting portfolio. The very concept of the film does not stand up to criticism: in some anti-dysfunctional world, the biggest entertainment is rollerball - an extremely cruel and dangerous game, representing a bloody mixture of fights without rules and motorcycle races. How could Chris Klein agree to this at all ?! Anyway, his career fell victim to the monstrous fantasy of the creators of the "movie masterpiece", who took the 28th place in the top 100 worst films of the 2000s. Once Chris succeeded in filming "American Pie". But that was before "Rollerball".
"Star Wars"
The prequels of the "Star Wars" were disgusting. Of course, if you grew up on them, then maybe you think otherwise. However, comparing them with the original parts of the saga, we can say with confidence: the prequels are objectively awful. Natalie Portman knew about this and nevertheless took up the role of Padme Amidala, who nearly killed her career. Fans met new parts of the franchise extremely cold, and Natalie had to have patience and forget about the good roles, until she was on the set of "Cold Mountain" Anthony Minghella.
And again, "Star Wars"
As already stated, the prequels of "Star Wars" are simply disgusting. Portman suffered, starring in a really bad picture. However, the career of Christensen Hayden was destroyed for another reason: he played disgustingly in a frankly horrible tape. You can blame all the deadly sins of the director and screenwriters, but if you were entrusted with the role of the greatest villain in the cinema, you would hardly have portrayed him as an irritated child who is capricious when mistreated. Namely, Christensen Hayden did it. Thanks to his inimitable game, Darth Vader turned into nothing more than the result of a teenage rebellion that dragged on for several decades. Yes, the prequels of "Star Wars" were bad, but Christensen Hayden's career was completely destroyed by his conscience.
"League of outstanding gentlemen"
Sean Connery's filmography is as good as it is generally possible. In the end, he played James Bond! However, the world has not seen such a star, which once would not have made a fatal mistake, appearing in a bad film. Since the actor starred in the League of Outstanding Gentlemen, he was no longer seen on the screen. You can object: Sean Connery is already in his advanced years. However, it is worth recalling that at 69 he became the sexiest man of the century according to People magazine. It is worth considering, it's not at the age.
"Jerry Maguire"
Ironically, thanks to the picture of "Jerry Maguire," Cubba Gooding, Jr. received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and solid career challenges. In the old days, he easily achieved good roles. Moreover, the films in which he was going to be shot, the studios were ready to immediately give "green light". But the former success has remained in the past, and now the career path of Cuban lies in the direction of films "only for DVD." He refused several roles in really promising bands, hoping to snatch the best offer. Probably, the actor had to regret this, because, having answered "no" to Steven Spielberg, Cubba Gooding, Jr. went to extremely low-grade tapes.
"Striptease"
Before Demi Moore's career was destroyed by Striptease, she starred in beautiful, if not legendary, films: "Ghost", "Obscene Proposition", "Exposure." The release of the ill-fated tape sent the actress for many years in search of decent roles, which were crowned with success only after the meeting with Ashton Kutcher. Probably, "Striptease" was an extremely horrible film, designed to deprive Demi Moore of the status of a sex symbol. After all, the "Indecent Proposal" failed. Anyway, Demi got $ 12.5 million for Striptease and learned an extremely valuable lesson. In the next film, she played a bald soldier, and he collected a lot more at the box office.
"Gigli"
Do you remember those times when Jay Lo was a serious actress and played in great films? "Out of sight," "Anaconda", "Wedding Planner" - she really had a good portfolio. It is necessary to make an amendment: it was at Lopez before "Gigli". This is undoubtedly the worst tape on our list, and she destroyed the career of the actress. Jay Lo was close to being rehabilitated, starring in the movie "Let's dance." But, unfortunately, in her filmography, as before, in addition to the roles of the second plan, there are no special achievements.
