sean connery might be an idot - GoFuckYourself.com

Grapesoda · 08-23-2012, 06:43 AM

Connery stated in interviews for the film (included on the DVD release) that he was offered a role in The Lord of the Rings series,[43] declining it due to "not understanding the script." CNN reported that the actor was offered up to 15% of the worldwide box office receipts to play Gandalf, which had he accepted, could have earned him as much as $400 million for the trilogy

CaptainHowdy · 08-23-2012, 06:47 AM

You can't just do anything because of the money ...

DamageX · 08-23-2012, 06:48 AM

I don't think he's hurting for money though.

Yes, he's an idiot because he cant see into the future!

topsiteking · 08-23-2012, 07:02 AM

That's crazy!!!

Jman · 08-23-2012, 07:03 AM

If he did not understand the script then he made the right decision. Only an IDIOT would take a role just for the money, especially if he did not understand what he wsa suppose to play.

KUDOS for Sir Sean for making the right decision.

seeandsee · 08-23-2012, 07:05 AM

Maybe movie with him would be disaster, who knows :D

So basically you would've taken it, right?

I think that would have killed the movies..

The Ghost · 08-23-2012, 07:40 AM

15% of the worldwide boxoffice gross? I like Sean Connery in roles but how the fuck would it be justified to offer him that. Overall it worked out for the best for everyone .... except Sean Connery.

PR_Glen · 08-23-2012, 09:37 AM

connery would have been great in it, he's been playing similar wise warriors for years.. but his replacement nailed it so at least we have that.

I think his decision was more based on not wanting to commit to living in NZ spending 6 hours in a make up chair for 2 and a half years more than anything, at his age who can blame him? He doesn't have to prove anything he's already an icon.

At his age, I am sure it worked out just fine for him.

Once you achieve a certain level of financial security, it becomes more about the quality of life than chasing down your next pay check.

Although I think he was right in not accepting the role and I'm beyond grateful he didn't play Gandalf as Sir Ian is PERFECT - HOW DUMB DOES ONE HAVE TO BE TO NOT UNDERSTAND A SCRIPT?!

It's a linear story, we're not talking Lynch here!

I never saw LOTR, but if Sean played in it ala SNL, I would have had to.

TheSquealer · 08-23-2012, 10:47 AM

Yes, i'm sure Sean Connery is hurting for money and needs to take anything that comes his way.

Maybe he didn't want to spend years living in New Zealand to play a movie role based on a books that he thought was for social retards and that he never had any interest in. Real men from an era where being a real man meant something, tend to make these decisions.

He's an actor, dude. Short of being a ballet dancing transsexual fashion-designer, that's about as un-manly as it gets.

When men were men.

I found whichever one it was I started reading really difficult to get into (too long ago to remember name) and it's one of only 2 books I've ever given up on.

I really dont care to understand it all , it's a bunch of hokum

cant stand any of it .......

LeRoy · 08-23-2012, 05:54 PM

As an artist it probably feels very good to turn stuff down. Especially the stuff the dont care for.

Most of them whored themselves out to get there anyway.

actually it didn't work out for everybody... ALL the main actors including Eljah Wood made SAG scale ..aprox $300k per film...so less than $1mil...before taxes..no backend

and all 3 movies were shot simultaneously on digital ( back then, was still new tech) ..so no one had a clue if this movie would work or not
