Blame Dinklage. The last and only dwarf allowed to play a dwarf
There's no way he didn't do it on purpose. Selfish little bastard.
It was pretty small of him to pull up the step ladder after he achieved success.
Little gremlin salting the earth behind him. Honestly, guy has lost the plot and gotten rid of multiple jobs for people of his stature.
What did he do?
He complained about Snow White and pulled out some goofy "why do they have to be dwarves" statements. Now anything that casts small people has to take a hard stance about why it's 100% necessary and can't just be CG.
Oh yeah now I remember. Thanks.
Likely virtue signaled how dwarves were being exploited for their handicap or some shit. Scaring away potential Dwarven talent.
Pretty much, though instead of scaring away dwarven talent, he scared away Disney from hiring other dwarves.
He caused a ruckus about the live action Snow White, so Disney changed their plans from hiring seven dwarves to hiring the Multicultural Bandits of Peace and Tolerance.
I mean before him it was verne troyer getting all of those roles. Seinfeld did an episode about it that summed it up perfectly, where those kinds of actors either "grow" out of them or die out of them, and never get replaced otherwise.
Troyer was a different species of little person and only suitable for specific roles requiring the tiniest of men.
Ironically that guy from Seinfeld is the actor I've seen in the most little person roles outside of Dinklage.
Did Troyer ever have a serious role?
Serious no, but he did a surprising amount of movies. Once michael (has probably killed more people than the halloween villain) myers put the guy on a pedistal everyone wanted him in stuff especially here in canada. Prior to entering rehab he was supposed to be heavily featured in the trailer park boys.
The ghost of David Rappaport says hi
One, why are they making another Wonka movie? I thought Rohld Dal was a raysis?
Two, didn't they just cgi the oompa loompas in the last movie? What movie has cast a dwarf since Willow?
Brain parasites? Nobody asked for a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel, but I'm sure it's going to get a $200 million budget for some reason.
Edit: Oh, it's "only" a $125 million budget.
They had 1 actor and they cgied him into all the other ones
More like they had him do every oompa loompa role and overlayed the parts together, that synchronous dice? He did every dive from every position
Couldn't he just do one dive with multiple cameras?
It was to ensure the positioning was perfect, it was from the DVD extras
They need to make a movie within a certain time or they lose the rights to make movies based off of it. It's the same reason garbage movies like fantastic 4 or doom got made.
Proportions are a big part of dwarfism vs being short.
Isn't this the equality everyone wanted?
Holy fuck. Another one? Another wonka movie? How many do we need? Gene wilder or gtfo
Why another Willy Wonka movie?
Why cast the Dune jew? (who is as miscast now as he was in Dune)
