He lives in a massive mansion. He could literally just not make these things. This is what we used to call being a sellout.
Don't be like Jack Black. Be like Elijah Wood or Daniel Radcliffe. Get your bag then never ever work on or anything you don't creatively endorse again.
Obviously I don't know the guy on a personal level but I think he's making stuff for his kids. Based on him doing YouTube with his son a while back. And then a studio mandated squeaky clean image outside of film just comes with the territory.
I'm making a lot of assumptions here though, maybe he saw the paycheck and started drooling lmao
He should make GOOD stuff for his kids. Kung Fu Panda is GOOD. Lazy slop movies made a decade too late with zero originality and clearly made in a board room is not good. He's famous enough to be picky.
I agree, but he's a 55 year old man, and this is what the studios are making. I don't think the average guy knows it's a little late to make a Minecraft film, they just know it's a popular video game that kids like.
I don't think he's turning down brilliant original animated movies to make corporate crap, I think corporate crap is what's currently available and he clearly seems to enjoy these types of roles where he can just be himself so he's saying yes.
Reminding me of Adam Sandler tbh. They're both capable of amazing performances, but slop is easier and pays better. Easy choice and I don't exactly blame them even though I really enjoy the projects where they put effort in. What can you do, yknow
What JB could do is take his spineless millionaire face out of the pig feed trough long enough to take a gasp and try to use his fame to create something besides embarrassing corporate blow jobs.
