“ I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.”
Gary Oldman and I share the same philosophy about work.
Well, least amount of work for him. He always brings his A-game from what I’ve seen, but a nice payday for a fraction of the number of days worked is nice!
The thing about these ones is that he is a side character for multiple movies. Both series had large casts and he was a key component to small sections of each. Large pay for little work is ideal. It’s not that he didn’t go all in. Just went all in for less time.
I’ve never thought about about it but I don’t think Gordon is in the first movie all that much. They’re just little scenes here and there, really.
He’s at his desk with a stapler. He’s at the docks for ten seconds. He takes out the trash once. The batmobile scene. And the end when he plays with the batmobiles rockets. Aren’t those the major scenes with him? I’m curious now.
Either way he even says he worked for less than a month on it. That’s pretty cool.
Definitely agree, but then I want to see a movie where he went all in for a bigger part of it. I have gotten some good suggestions, that I will ad to the list.
Actually, he won it for playing Churchill in The Darkest Hour.
Although I do believe Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy should have won all kinds of awards. And that includes Oldman for doing the nearly impossible as George Smiley: reprising a truly iconic Alec Guinness role and actually making it his own.
EDIT: well it took me a minute to catch your real meaning.

If those movies are what he call least amount of work, I love to see one where he went all in. Cause he was awesome in this ones.

“EVERYOOONEEEE”
Leon is such a good movie. One of the first of the Oldman unhinged performances I can remember.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?
I don’t care what anyone says, He won the Oscar for that.

Fifth Element?
I have heard some things about it will definitely check it out.
Hannibal? The makeup alone took 6 hours each day.
Didn’t know he was in it, it will put it higher on the list.
