Will Chris Hemsworth Be the Next Thomas Jane?

CA$H.jpg

The first tip off that Ca$h is probably going to be a terrible movie is that it’s got a goddamn dollar sign in its title. The second tip off is probably Sean Bean (oh, cram it — the guy’s a B-actor and doesn’t even deserve that), and the third tip-off? Well, it’s starting to look like Chris Hemsworth.

Hemsworth is supposed to be the next Sam Worthington, the dude, the man. The end-all-be-all, the A-list fuck-bunny extraordinaire. He’s cast as Thor; he’s in Joss Whedon’s Cabin in the Woods; and he’s the star of the Red Dawn remake.

And he looks like a Cinemax actor. It could just be that he’s working with a bad director here (Stephen Milburn Anderson), but the guy who once looked like a legitimate future star in Star Trek looks like the next Thomas Jane. Let’s just hope that Thor isn’t his The Punisher, else the Marvel franchise may crumble all to hell.

Anyway: Here’s the trailer for Ca$h, and the boilerplate bullshit marketing logline is below:


CA$H is a quirky psychological thriller that explores the role money plays in a bad economy. When a struggling young couple, Sam (Chris Hemsworth) and Leslie Phelan (Victoria Profeta) find a suitcase full of cash, they think their luck will take a turn for the better-until the strange and sinister criminal Pyke Kubic (Sean Bean) arrives at their doorstep, looking to collect what he believes is rightfully his. What follows is an action-packed adventure through the streets of Chicago as the three are pulled deeper and deeper into a desperate spiral of deception and violence… All in the name of cash.

So it's an urban "Simple Plan"? Who plays the full-retard brother?

I'm with you Dustin. There's so much unearned love on Pajiba for B-actors with Brit accents, guys who would never be tolerated if they had plain old mid-western US accents (Sean Bean, Gerard Butler, etc.). Then again, there's also so much love on here for cross-eyed rom-com actors who have good abs.

Pyke fucking Kubic?

Now that's full retard.

Pyke Kubic could be a real disaster if someone were to switch the P and K...

There must be some explanation for that level of retardery in the script. I mean, a) you don't end a first name and begin a last name with the same sound, and b)--for real: Pyke Kubic?

How dare you insult Sean Bean! I love him and I'm going to have his man babies! He was the best part in Equilibrium...and his role in Lord of the Rings...he cried...he cried.

That being said don't hate Hemsworth. If anything you should have wondered why he was in A Perfect Getaway.

Sean Bean dies in literally every film or tv program he's ever been in. He must have the most ' on screen deaths ' of any actor. ( That could be a random list - who has had the most on screen deaths ? ).

You know whenever I read the words "action packed....through the streets of Chicago", I prepare myself for yet another high speed chase through lower Wacker. It's been done to death movie people. Please stop it. The likelihood of any real criminals/spies/terrorists, etc. actually using lower Wacker, the one street that it would be so easy to close down and trap them in, as their major escape route is preposterous. Please let the homeless people sleep in peace, it's one of the few streets they can sleep in knowing they won't be rained or snowed on and they get kicked out every time one of you has the idea you'd like to film there.

I love Sean Bean, I am not ashamed to admit it. :)

I dunno. "Kyke Pubic" lends itself to many genres. Crime thriller, tasteless comedy, white supremacist porno. The dramatic possibilities are almost endless.

Okay, everytime anyone mentions Chris Helmsworth in relation to Star Trek, I think, "Wait, was that his name?" And I have to Google him, EVERY TIME, to remind myself that it was Chris PINE that was James T. Kirk.

Seriously, we should leave that off his fucking credits, because he had a bit part at best in that movie and all it does is confuse me.

Plus, I loved Sean Bean in LOTR, and I'm not ashamed of that one bit.

Hey EE! Look at Pinky McLadybits!
Hilarious.

I don't care what anyone says. Sean Bean nailed his role as Boromir in "The Fellowship Of The Ring".

The scene where he picks up the ring on the mountain....

Damn.

I love Sean Bean, but that has absolutely nothing to do with his acting ability...

Posted by: Karis at February 26, 2010 2:16 PM

Don't you dare disparage the awesomeness that is Sean Bean.

Sharpe
Trevelyan
Boromir
Eddard fucking Stark!

I recently sat down to wade through the 10+ hours of LOTR Extended Edition, and while Both Sam and Frodo drive me up the fucking wall, it was Sean Bean whom I most found myself wanting to immolate.

His style worked for the campy Bond movies, but he's glaringly awful in LOTR. At least in retrospect.

Ah, Sean Bean. Why must you mess with my mind? On one hand, he is undeniably hot. On the other hand, he is (SAID TO BE) an unrepentant sexist who has (ALLEGEDLY) been in more than one (SUPPOSEDLY) nasty physical altercation with his wife. On the other hand, Boromir. And Equilibrium. And, yeah, Sharpe. But on the other hand...Pyke Kubic? Seriously? Pyke with a Y? But on yet the other hand...if he's playing someone called Pyke-with-a-Y Kubic, he clearly has a sense of humor. So there's that, anyway.

I'm a Kubic. Renting a B movie ? Bah...only for retards. Kubic is a very common from Eastern Europe. Of course Anglo-Saxon can't relate to anything that differs from John Smith. They only see their navel. As for "Pyke", I think you people should research a little bit more before saying anything stupid. It's a name coming from the sumaltry region of Lethonia. But of course... who cares, right ? This web site is for retards? Please surprise me ! Bye.
