8 Actors Whose Upcoming Movies Could End Their Careers

John Travolta is a Gummy Bear? Seriously?!

Everyone has presumably sat down to a movie so inherently terrible that afterwards they've turned to a friend and said: "Well, that's the last we'll be seeing of that actor." Yes, movies have been killing careers in Hollywood for a long 'ol time - Showgirls destroyed Elizabeth Berkley, Son of the Mask finished Jamie Kennedy, Superman Returns ended Brandon Routh's chances at stardom, and The Love Guru finished off Mike Meyers. It takes a seriously terrible work of filmic awfulness to end an entire career, but it does happen... from time to time. Be it a fresh-faced newcomer or an established star clinging to his or her last ounces of fame, a really bad movie has the power to destroy everything it touches - directors, writers, actors; a truly naff flick is something akin to career suicide. What follows, then, is a list of 8 movies that - for a number of reasons - either look so inherently bad or destined to flop that they could potentially spell the end for those who made the decision to star, or might be deemed risky ventures for those involved. Whilst some of the movies listed here merely seem unlikely for success, there are other inclusions that will literally force you to throw your hands up in the air and declare: "WTF?"
