14 Upcoming Movies That Will Probably Waste Awesome Actors
7. Gary Oldman - Hunter Killer
The Role: Admiral Brad Crawford, who assists Commander Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) in mounting an operation to rescue the kidnapped Russian President.
Now, to be completely fair, Gary Oldman is no stranger to pimping his services out for a quick payday, and in the last few years alone he's given phoned-in performances in the likes of RoboCop, Criminal, The Space Between Us and The Hitman's Bodyguard.
Oldman's a master chameleon and will be adopting an American accent to play Crawford, but from what the trailers have revealed so far, he's basically playing the "A-list actor in a D-list movie" role that all of these disaster action flicks need. Apparently Morgan Freeman was busy.
There's zero chance Oldman does much interesting with the role, and he's probably only got about 10 minutes of scattered screen time anyway.
