Their huge foreheads will battle it out for supremacy.

 

[Transistor]

I will watch anything with Walton Goggins in it

 

[Meier]

YES

 

[Mushroomer25]

This seems like it could be totally solid. Decent creative team and cast so far. Let's see how it's fucked up.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Now if only they had cast Ridley we might actually have a Laura worth caring about

 

[Digital-Hero]

Walton reminds me of a young Bruce Dern, which is funny since they both were in Django and The Hateful Eight.

 

[J_Viper]

Fucking love this dude, he should've been The Joker

 

[StanleyStutters]

The best actor in two of the best shows (Justified and The Shield) in recent years. One of my favorite actors. Excellent choice.

 

[valkillmore]

He was in Hateful eight. And personally I would say he was one of the leads in Hateful eight.

Oh that's right totally forgot he was in that. I need to see that.

 

[Sanke__]

They should cast him as Rafe in the Uncharted movie.

Yes please

 

[Strax]

I do hope Zack Ward (Konstantin in ROTTR) gets a role

 

[dantevsninjas]

That puts me on board.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I'll never watch a scene from tv that hits harder for the rest of my life.

Found his end on the show far more brutal. Spent so much time wondering how his story would end, and never expecting them to just end it with a dose of reality with him simply killing himself as the cops close in. In a finale filled with outlandishness, that hit hard.

 

[Rest]

Goggins? Vikander? Sounds good, should be better than the Jolie ones, though I suppose that's not a very high bar.

 

[Discotheque]

What a waste of his talents. At least we have Vice Principals S2.

Also, it's Walton, motherfuckers.

yes it is a waste but this got me day 1'ing a freaking Tomb Raider reboot now.

any high profile role right now is a win for my dude. very underrated actor.

 

[Tater Tot]

cletus van damme

 

[NullPointer]

cletus van damme

fire in the hole!

 

[dead souls]

Good for him, get that paycheck.

Oh and anytime they want they can give him all of those Emmy awards he deserved for The Shield and Justified.

 

[Dany]

Who is Laura Kroft?

nvm. can't read lol

 

[Einchy]

I'd be so much more interested in this if they had cast Daisy Ridley but he's a pretty great get, though.

 

[LewieP]

Feels like a real missed opportunity that he wasn't cast as Jesse in the Preacher TV show.

Edit: He was great in Community, too.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

It's crazy how he became popular after the shield, The way his character turned on that show really fucked with people emotionally, but I think it gave him as an actor a good opportunity to be a part of something that is memorable, even if it's dark.


There was never going to be any happy Sunday dinners for the strike force.

I have to be honest, during The Shield I hated not only his character, but the actor paying him as well. He was simply unforgivable in that show.
But after seeing him in SoA, I softened up after coming to terms he was just paying a character, especially seeing the character he was playing (i see that gif).
I have yet to check out Justified, but I like him in Vice Principals. Not sure if that's enough to get me to go watch this movie in a theater, but I'll keep an eye out now.

 

[NullPointer]

I will watch anything with Walton Goggins in it

Dude steals the show in whatever he's in.

I think I read somewhere that he was only supposed to be in an episode or two of Justified. Can't imagine the show without him.

I have to be honest, during The Shield I hated not only his character, but the actor paying him as well.

I can absolutely understand hating the character, and that's often great acting that can well that up in you and hone it. But I've never understood how that translates into hating the person playing the role.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What are the chances he's racist in the movie?

99.9%?

Nah, they'll go for a likable, understandable villain for a modern audience.

Who will go full retard in the last act.

 

[triplestation]

He was great as Trevor in gta5 so I'm totally for this

 

[NullPointer]

He was great as Trevor in gta5 so I'm totally for this

 

[Bishop89]

Alicia Vikander?

downgrade.

Walton though is great news though

 

[xrnzaaas]

Excited about this!

I loved that show and the Strike team. Probably still my #1 favorite show on a first viewing.
I was so invested in the show that what Shane had done struck me so hard, that i thought of the actor and the character as one in the same.
It was literally the only thing I had ever seen him in at the time, so once i started seeing him in other roles, it helped me to appreciate what he was as an actor to bring that out in the show.

 

[Burt]

There is officially a zero percent chance this isn't the best videogame movie ever

 

[BouncyFrag]

He needs to voice the main in the next Red Dead Redemption game. Check out this resemblance from the first Red Dead game.

 

[Joco]

They should just make the main villain Boyd Crowder.

I can definitely get behind this idea.

 

[big ander]

She was fantastic in Man from UNCLE. I think she could do well making a more modern Lara Croft movie popular.

Watched it tonight and now think this movie could be really great if they lean into making Croft playful. Vikander in Man from UNCLE's so good as a wild card smartass. unimpressed by everything, constantly needling the other two, getting wasted and dancing around, improvising in missions. Honestly the best possible route would be for her to truly just be a female Indy, it's right in her wheelhouse.

 

[Funky Papa]

I'd like to believe that Goggins is above this kind of tripe, but Daniel Craig hit it big after that awful first attempt, so good for him?

 

[Chuckie]

Now if only they had cast Ridley we might actually have a Laura worth caring about

You did that on purpose didn't you!

yeah i think she can pivot away from Jolie's "boss chick" persona and more towards a more playful take on the character.

baffled as to why some people wanted Daisy Ridley over her, Alicia is so much better and more experienced as well.

 

[Randam]

but who is palying Lara?

 

[BossDarkseid]

but who is palying Lara?

........ did you even read the OP?

 

[Oreoleo]

but who is palying Lara?

Check the OP.

 

[Transistor]

Anyone who hasn't seen him in the Hateful Eight needs to go watch it right now. He steals the whole god damn movie.

Not to mention Justified. God damn if the way Boyd Crowder talks doesn't make me fucking swoon.

 

[RustyNails]

I'd like to believe that Goggins is above this kind of tripe, but Daniel Craig hit it big after that awful first attempt, so good for him?

Daniel Craig was specifically chosen as Bond due to his role in Layer Cake, which was a small-ish UK movie.

 

[Transistor]

Funny enough, after watching Layer Cake, I remember saying to myself "wow, he would make a great Bond"

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Wait, Alicia Vikander is playing Lara? I thought I read that Daisy Ridley had the role?

 

[Staccat0]

GOD: Make a guy named Walton Goggins.
ANGEL: ???
GOD: Don't act like you aint know exactly what I'm picturing

GOD: lol close enough

I need a whole movie where he and Samuel L Jackson team up.

 

[Haloid1177]

Guess I might actually have to watch it now.

 

[Transistor]

I need a whole movie where he and Samuel L Jackson team up.

I'd buy it at a high price. As long as I can get a movie where him and Timothy Olyphant team up, too.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Anyways, what's this grenade reference all about? I feel like I'm forgetting something I should know about, but can't remember.

Same here. Fan of the show but can't recall a sad moment involving Boyd and grenades...

 

[Haloid1177]

Same here. Fan of the show but can't recall a sad moment involving Boyd and grenades...

It's from The Shield.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Such a perfect end to that series.
