All these following films which were released before 5 years opened in just one theatre and had a No name Starcast/Newcomers.If a film with nobody could gross this much then 'A kid like Jake' starring 'A List' Stars should have done much better.

1.Valentino:The Last Emperor- $21,762
2.LBS-$11,690
3.Incendiary-$7,308
4.supercapitalist-$8,372

Aside from Octavia Spencer who is known as a good supporting actress, the rest of the cast are primarily known as TV actors. What A list are you talking about?

BTW...Valentino is a documentary (about the world famous designer) and has appearances by Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, (rather more A list by HW standards I would say). as well as other "name designers and fashionistas.

If it's true, that's amazing. Hope the audience accept it, it will open doors to more POC actors/actresses in Hollywood.

The Death of Stalin director Armando Iannucci has explained why he opted for "colourblind" casting on his forthcoming Charles Dickens adaptation.

The satirist said that studio FilmNation were supportive of his decision to cast British-Indian Oscarnominee Dev Patel as the lead in The Personal History of David Copperfield, and that he had more trouble convincing them that he was the right person to direct the Victorian saga.

Iannucci, 54, continued: "You just want to cast the best person, and I honestly couldn't think of anyone more appropriate to play David Copperfield than Dev."

But people that watch TV essentially for free (admittedly Homeland is Showtime) do not necessarily translate into people that watch movies in theaters. In fact more often than not really big TV stars don't become really big movie stars (there are the occasional George Clooney but he is the exception).
