He's gonna have a tattoo on his dick that says Player

 

[ZeoVGM]

Robbie is getting Oscar buzz for I, Tonya. Leto is starring in a Brett Ratner movie. Seems like plenty of a basis to me!

He's also in Blade Runner 2049 and has already proven his worth as an actor through previous acclaim.

Ratner sucks, Leto is great. We certainly don't know enough about the project yet to say it was a bad career choice. And he's in one of the best reviewed movies of the year in three days. So it was just a silly comment.

 

[thecouncil]

this will be done tastefully. of that, i am sure.

 

[Bronx-Man]

They need a comedic actor to play this role, like a Steve Carrell.

Or a young Kurt Russell. I can't think of any young actor with huge swagger right now.

Oh directed by Brett Razner? It doesn't matter I am out.

I could see Ryan Gosling doing it if this were a full comedy

 

[ReAxion]

nobody wants this. like, any part of it.

 

[B33]

Nope.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

holywood is such shit and honestly jared leto is not a good actor.

He is in Blade Runner, but he will probably be the worst part of it

(Opting to do any movie directed by Ratner is a bad decision. He is a bad director. Working with bad directors is a bad decision)

 

[ForkNetwork]

Because the thing the world needs right now is more Brett Ratner films

I cant wait

 

[Forward]

He died this week. Why do we need a biopic this soon? The Viagra injectors aren't even cool yet.

 

[ZeoVGM]

He is in Blade Runner, but he will probably be the worst part of it

Of course.

 

[legacyzero]

DAMAGED

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Why doesn't it?

Well for one, he hasn't even been in a movie since SS, and the one movie he does have coming out this year is getting all kinds of praise.

Hard to say that he's made bad decisions.

 

[3rdman]

Please stop trying to make Jared Leto a thing. Thanks.

 

[Randam]

Wow, seems like Leto is the male jlaw.
(here on gaf)

 

[overcast]

Dude, Brett Ratner 😶

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Robbie is getting Oscar buzz for I, Tonya. Leto is starring in a Brett Ratner movie. Seems like plenty of a basis to me!

He's also in Blade Runner, which is suppose to be amazing. His picks are just random.

 

[barik]

Wow, Ratner, Hefner and Leto, all in the same production? It's like scientists went into a laboratory and tried to conceive the worst, most awful movie possible.

 

[AuthenticM]

Jared Leto

oh yeah, count me i--

Brett Ratner

fucking hell

 

[Inferno313]

Wow, seems like Leto is the male jlaw.
(here on gaf)

Jlaw ain't sending condoms and dead animals to her costars.

 

[JigglesBunny]

I hope he gets “horny” tattooed on his forehead.

 

[Dude Abides]

Leto is defintely a good choice to play a dude who was basically a creepy joke.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I feel like Hef looked like he was super old at every time he was ever relevant and Leto's got a babyface even when he tries to grow a rockstar beard.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Jared Leto starring as Hugh Hefner in a biopic directed by Brett Ratner

aka the rare "literally no part of this sentence is good" sentence

 

[Kojirospath]

Timing makes it feel like somebody has been sitting on this script just waiting for the man to die.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Timing makes it feel like somebody has been sitting on this script just waiting for the man to die.

That's usually the case for biopics on really famous, or infamous, people.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Ratner is perfect for this. Leto too.

 

[badcrumble]

I'm just not a fan of Leto. He's not a bad actor or anything, just comes off really full of himself, even when acting.

He's not a *great* actor either but he definitely thinks he is.

After his weird and not-so-classy attempts to loudly, publicly out-method-act Heath Ledger, you might say his reputation has been

damaged

 

[broncobuster]

Leto's a great actor and choice but I think this is sketchy with Brett Ratner. Not merely for his talent as a filmmaker, but for his reverence for Hugh Hefner. I'm imagining a very sugar coated tale of Hefner's life.

 

[Blader]

Of course.

I'm half-joking, though I do basically expect it

 

[bggrthnjsus]

man i don't wanna see anything with any of those names attached to it

 

[friskykillface]

Rush Hour 2!

The GOAT.

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

 

[Extra Sauce]

tbh I liked "The Family Man" as a kid

probably doesn't hold up

That was Ratner? I liked that movie.

You might be right though.

 

[Drifters]

I’m sure the movie twitter meme will be # justthetip right?

 

[Dangansona]

Isn't that a little soon after his passing?

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

This movie better have lots of naked girls. LOTS!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Isn't that a little soon after his passing?

The movie is probably 2 or 3 years away from filming, if it ever gets far enough into production.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Robbie is getting Oscar buzz for I, Tonya. Leto is starring in a Brett Ratner movie. Seems like plenty of a basis to me!

Lol that dude sounds personally offended.

 

[daviyoung]

Brett Ratner is one of the worst hack directors still practicing his art. He's a bargain bin Renny Harlin. This film will be a mundane, forgettable piece of shit.

Expect the trailers to have lots of sped-up-slo-mo camera movements following girls bums walking around a swimming pool.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

if they don't do a scene where Hefner sleeps with a man they will have failed

 

[Bolivar687]

Not even cold

 

[CadetMahoney]

Spoiler Alert in case you guys didn't know:

Spoiler

porn won in the end

 

[Jeffolation]

I hope the big book of butts makes a cameo.

 

[Sapiens]

geez, is Leto going to play every damn character now?

will he go full meta like he did with The Jolker?

From what I’ve been reading about Hef, all of his Joker method training should be reusable.

 

[tootie923]

I feel like Hef looked like he was super old at every time he was ever relevant and Leto's got a babyface even when he tries to grow a rockstar beard.

I always thought Hugh was pretty handsome especially in his younger days, and Jared Leto's just... odd-looking and the very opposite of handsome. I don't get the casting at all.

 

[Game-Biz]

I can only assume that hack of director must always pull profits from his shitty films. Otherwise, he must work with black magic to keep getting this level of work. Although this is just a quick cash grab to capitalize on a man's death so maybe Ratner is perfect for this.

 

[master billings]

He'll go method by constantly soaking in semen and and std filled Jacuzzis.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Of course they would do this so soon after his passing. Also I'm not sure I would want to imagine Leto going all "method acting", during production.

 

[Discotheque]

I thought Leto was great in Mr. Nobody and then Dallas Buyers Club

But since then I dunno what that man is doing. That American yakuza movie sounds pretty cool tho, hopefully that ain't bad because I love fish out of water stories like that

After hearing some of the shit about hugh hefner, a biopic by ratner is the last thing Id want to see. We don't need his shit glorified.

Ratner does stink certainly, but Rush Hour 1 and 2 were great. Red Dragon was mediocre but some aspects of it were better than Hannibal imo, mostly because of the damn good cast he managed to somehow wrangle up

 

[Puck Beaverton]

We will have a years worth of thinkpieces due to Ratner directing. What an artist.
