Hey everyone! Thanks for watching the video! Seeing a lot of people commenting before watching the video (which is fine), but the final third of the video goes into whether he even is a movie star and the state of the industry. It's definitely a topic worth discussing. Also any actors / directors you want videos on? We got a lighthearted video on an actor and another film production / list video in the works.

Yup! We go into the idea that’s it’s a next gen of movie stars but don’t compare to the pull the originals had. But it’s not their fault but just how the industry is evolving. Hopefully we’ll get back to more original filmmaking in the future but at the moment its super risky not making films on existing IPs

@@FilmStack I mean I don’t say this to sound rude but I feel like you’re kind of using the original films issue to just not acknowledge how selective with the actors you mention is. Daniel Kaluuya has been the face of many original films that have been financially successful and award winning, always in the posters and has an acting Oscar to which Timothee, Ana, and Florence do not have still. I’d even bring up Dev Patel who just started in his directorial debut to a successful box office run on his own. There are movie stars, you’re kind of just being picky with who you want them to be tbh.

He's not the last movie star just the proof that the concept of a movie star isn't as dead as people have been claiming.

Good video, but I wish there had been more focus on Miss Stevens. As a wannabe actor, he delivers a monologue from Death of a Salesman which may be the most powerful thing he's ever done. It's even better considering it was from a time in his career (pre-CMBYN) when he thought he was a failed actor himself.

I dunno, it seems like people are always claiming that one thing or another is ruining the movie industry. Some things I've been told ruined Hollywood are Intellectual properties, Marvel, sequels, special effects, politics, block busters. I think I even heard once that Talkies ruined movies. All of these things have killed the industry in the past btw. For example, Intellectual properties is not a new concept for Hollywood. Monty Python, James Bond, Carry On, The Three Stooges, Universal Classic Monsters, Police Academy, National Lampoons, Pink Panther, and many more are all IPs that were hugely popular for a time but are not being made anymore. Excluding Bond of course, but it too has nearly died several times in the past. In my experience it's best to just sit back and go with the flow. The movie industry is an ever changing beast and something different will be killing movies in another decade. Probably narrow AI or something.

Great actor, best of his generation 👏🏻✨️

I went to the theater just to see Timothee play Wonka. I'm not a fan of either the other two. His small role in Don't Look Up made me notice him, Dune made me love him. Dune 2 is an incredibly film. Movies at the theater are so much an expense, it's cheaper to watch at home. Huge television with high Def and surround sound make it easy to wait for the comfort. He is an amazing actor. I have an eye for it. I knew Tom Hardy before he was a household name. I knew of Walton Goggin's talents before he was the Ghoul. Hollywood itself is going downwards bc franchises are killing the industry. People are growing tired of them. It'll likely pick back up one day, but it'll need some change.

Hey this video is great who doesn't love timothee chalet I love his movie by Wonka because he's singing it's just amazing and emotional make me cry by pure imagination 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love his acting he's funny and talented i actually have a blanket of him that i got for my 18 birthday this year

Box office flop ☹️

"rap career" is so unserious😂

Denis Villeneuve said he believed timmy was perfect for the role when he was already writing the script but he also said he believed certain faces would pull in a demographic that wasn't familiar with dune towards the franchise. I know younger people who didn't know anything about dune but simply watched it because timothee was acting in it. the same demographic also went in because of zendaya. After his performance in call me by your name, people went through his catalogue and watched the movie miss stevens and the reviews on imdb just talking about his performance alone in that small indie movie is insane. same with hot summer nights, which flopped and yet reviews said 'it was worth watching because of his performance'. hell his character in 'don't look up' a movie leo and j.law were in, where he improvised practically all his lines is one of the best characters in that film, which apparently also flopped somewhat. so sure, that's not carrying an IP but giving memorable performances in movies small or big that have people singing his praises even when he's not the main character is quite a pull for someone at the stage he's at in his career. Also, IP's flop very easily these days even when they have a good director. considering how much people say they want to see original content these days. People getting mad when they call him a 'star' makes no sense to me. nobody Is saying he's better than seasoned actors. people like leo have over 30 movies under their belt but at 28 leo had majorly Indie movies under his belt aside from 'titanic' and 'catch me if you can'. there were people back then who doubted he could act and said he was only popular because he was pretty . and johnny depp was well into his 30's when he started being recognised for roles AT ALL. aside from 'edward scissorhands' 'baby boy' and 'whats eating gilbert grape'. he was nearing 40 yrs when he got the role of jack sparrow, was well into his 40's when he did 'charlie and the chocolate factory' and he was even late 40's in 'alice in wonderland'. Chalamet is literally 28 right now. he still has a ways to go but has quite an impressive movie catalogue, gives memorable performances even in movies he isn't leading, and has accolades to his name that is quite an achievement for someone his age. he has clearly earned his 'stardom' based on talent and considering what he's done at this age, it's not far fetched to call him a 'star' even if evidently he has a ways to go. Obviously he's not the only one, saiorse ronan, Florence pugh, anya taylor joy, paul mescal etc are just as impressive if not more. I think a lot of good movies with the box office flops this year have nothing to do with the actors but the literal economy rn as well as the rise of streaming services. the world is changing after all.

To be honest in the last they’re part he kinda sounds like Morty from Rick and morty

Calling him a movie star is a stretch. I personally don't consider any of the young crop of actors "movie stars". They're working actors. A movie star to me is not only someone that can fill theaters but also someone with cultural impact and influence on a global scale spanning across different demographics such as age, sex, nationality, ethnicity, etc. The post-2010 actors simply don't have that same pull due to the rise of social media and streaming.
