MOVIE TRIVIA

>Paul Rudd auditioned for Jack Dawson in TITANIC, partially due to his father being a member of the Titanic Historic Society. Despite displaying his technical knowledge of the ship, even the metals used to build it, Rudd was promptly passed over and never went beyond a screen test.

Why would technical know how of the ship be important to playing the part?

It wouldn't, but it could give him points for researching the subject matter.

It was a bold movie, but it didn't pay off for him.

>Audition for TITANIC
>end up in Halloween 6

It wouldn't. It speaks to the ridiculous tendency that "serious" actors have to think that spending days/weeks "researching" a part has any bearing on how well they play a character. The absolute only time that research if useful is when you have to master specific accents or mannerisms if the part calls for it, but beyond that it's a pretentious waste of time.

He did fuckup a horror movie icon michael myers with a lead pipe/ got screen time with donald pleasence so he's got that going for him.

>Tom Cruise was approached by the studio to play Jack, but his asking price was too high for them to even consider, given the then-unprecedented $200 million budget.

>The line-up scene was meant to be played utterly serious and straight. But as the scene unfolded the actors' corpsing - breaking into genuine laughter - led an exasperated Bryan Singer to change tack and (unlike Kubrick in Dr. Strangelove) use the funniest takes. Why were they laughing? Benicio Del Toro had hideous flatulence and wouldn't stop breaking wind.

Is Paul Rudd the most likable man on the planet?

>weinstein wants to cut mononoke hime to americanize it
>miyazaki sent a katana at his front foor with the written note
>no cuts
>it was never cut

One of 'em, for sure.

instead, they hired the sexiest actor alive and women flooded the theaters (both literally and figuratively.) they could have had the ironic humor and quirky charm of Paul Rudd. Imagine all the tickets they could have sold. plus, they wouldn't have had to hire a technical consultant, what with his encyclopedic knowledge of Titanic minutia. boy, someone really dropped the ball.

>smirks and stammers ironically while drawing a nude

The real reason that he didn't get the part was that he decided to play Rose's character but the casting agent requested nude Tayne

Not exactly. It was Studio Ghibli's producer Toshio Suzuki, who sent the sword rather than Miyazaki
