I mean come on Jim was supposed to have basicly 3 movies out in 2007. The Number 23, Used Guys, and ripleys. (Sorta). And now its only down to one. If he doesn't get ripleys, it may be a while until he gets another movie. Look he was gonna do davinci code! That woulda helped his career so much! People say he wouldnt have been good playing silas, but come on look he's proved his role as a serious person. He's a human being, we have both sides to a story, not one, not always funny. He could have done it. But no, they found a perfect white guy. So what? Make-up coulda done that easily. I was so peeved off that Jim couldn't play it cause he would have done it really well.
You know what all you producers? You can all go shove your megaphone somewhere. Cause this is not fair. You're all out for the money. "Oh no we couldnt afford to have Jim because he's unstable and we don't know which way the movie would go, by doing so it would cost so much to make the movie.... it's all risky". I quote, and that is what was similiary said to a site I found. Don't you guys gamble?! Take a gamble in life, make the biggest movie on earth and get all the great ratings! Cause if you don't take that gamble, what will people expect from you - THE AVERAGE!
