Obviously Michael is a superb actor but AC is not about acting, it is meant to be a blockbuster and do well in the business.

I really don't agree with this. I think Michael is all about the acting and would not have played the part of he wasn't. Not saying the returns aren't necessary but that's not all its about for the actor, or in fact, the audience.

I agree about Prince Of Persia. I was a Fan of Jake, I also like Gemma Arterton, but... The movie...
Re AC I really don't feel to say anything yet. I just need to see at least some clips or something. The trailer didn't really get me as I was expecting. I mean, I have conflicted opinions: I liked the parts in the present quite much, not very much the ones in the past with slowmotion and I didn't like the music choice. I kinda expected it to look more "real".. It lowered my expectations and I know it's not rational... It's just a feeling. But I do believe it's gonna be a BO success or at least it's not gonna bomb. People go see all these movies...
I hope it's good. I still hope so, I want Michael to succeed, but I can't really predict anything now.

It absolutely can. I think Duncan Jones has proven to be a much more talented filmmaker than Kurzel (Moon >>> Macbeth/Snowtown) and he STILL made a disaster.

But some of the people in this thread are overstating MF's "credit" insofar as his career health. This isn't 2011. Legendary directors are not and have not been knocking at his door. He will still work, but if every film he makes through 2017 is a critical/BO disappointment, then he's not going to be leading many films.

I liked Moon a lot and am still hopeful that Duncan can put out some good films, even if Warcraft was a mess.

As for Michael, agreed on all of that, but at the very least he has UK and indie films to fall back on. So him trying out the leading-man roles is not a complete killer for him.

Ewan and James may have a resurgence within the next year or so, but let's not act like they are getting the same quality of scripts recently that they were receiving years ago.

Ugh, James's career frustrates me sometimes. He's a real talent, but he hasn't had a real critical/BO success since Atonement (aside from X-Men). And even if he was great in Filth, it wasn't that critically successful nor did it bring in real receipts.

Sorry, off-topic there for a second but I had to say it.

I think Split and Submergence will put him back on the radar for better movie directors and studios. Looking forward to both movies.
