THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER REVEALS HOLLYWOOD’S NEW A-LIST ACTORS


In the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, the cover feature, entitled, “The New Hollywood System: Breaking Down the Current Definition of a Movie Star,”  claims that “instead of an ‘A-List,’ the faces of today’s franchises are measured in buzz — with top dollar now a $10 million payday, half of the old standard.” Shia LeBoeuf, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hardy are on the cover but Michael is mentioned in the following excerpt (let the eye-rolling commence):

“Michael Fassbender, who seemed to be at the top of the new A-list in the wake of Shame and X-Men: First Class, has become less of a sure thing since Prometheus, but he remains one of the few names that foreign financiers get excited about — and they’re willing to sink $15 million-plus into a project with his attachment. “International sales are hugely driven by the star power in a movie,” says Mark Gill, president of Millennium Films. “If you don’t have $100 million worth of special effects, you’ve got to have some reason for people to go — and that’s the stars.” (Others on that internationally viable shortlist include James McAvoy, Robert Pattinson, Daniel Radcliffe, Carey Mulligan, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana and Mila Kunis.)”
