Hypothetical: You're an actor or actress.
You've become a popular choice among casting agents, and you get offered the following movie roles. Given the shooting schedules, you can only do three of these movies in 2015. You'll have to turn the others down. Which three do you choose?
Background rules: Assume that each movie has the following elements: 1. You'll have roughly five minutes of screen time. 2. You'll have a speaking role with approximately 15 lines. 3. The movie doesn't have A-list stars, but has a very solid and well-regarded B to B+ -list cast. 4. The movie has a solid director and producer and will likely be a successful and popular movie that gets a thumbs-up from critics, but won't be a blockbuster or a legendary film. |
