some people think the age difference between harry and halle bailey is weird. halle is 19 and harry is 25.
other people think it’s great that their childhood idol (harry styles was in one direction) is going to be in a live action version of their favorite childhood movie.
I think the casting is completely fine I’m not a fan of Harry Styles but I still feel like he’ll do a good job.
As for the age difference it’s not really a big deal considering they are both playing characters not actually dating in real life Idk if they are and Idc.
I liked him in Dunkirk even if it was a supporting role. I believe he can be a good actor. But a disney prince? eek. Disney has to stop trying to adapt animated characters to real ones. Most of the time, it just doesn’t work. It makes me think of Richard Madden in Cinderella, it’s so cringy, I couldn’t watch it without laughing.
(Same for every Mangas or Animes adapted in movies… You can’t reproduce the acting and behaviours of animated characters. It’s the whole point of drawing… doing something different than real actor.)
Like what are his acting credentials? And when they choose someone who’s not an actor and obviously didn’t have to audition? Yeah it annoys me.
Disney’s lost its integrity. In The Princess and the Frog times, Alicia Keys auditioned multiple times for the role of Tiana and then didn’t even get it, but she was happy to go
In all seriousness, could be worse but it feels weird. Definitely not like they thought he was the best choice for his talents and strength as an actor, much more like “oh hey you’re famous and this is already a cash grab” in my humble onion.
I’m worried. Did they hold auditions and find that he was the best part? I doubt it, because this whole era of remaking the Disney films – most often badly – is lazy pandering. Why would they stop it there?
.
And I’m not really a fan but I’ll see how it is.
