MOVIE LEGEND: A judge essentially forced Whoopi Goldberg to appear in the disastrous dinosaur buddy cop movie, Theodore Rex.One of the most unusual contracts in the world is that of a movie star, because entire movies can rise and fall on whether a particular movie star agrees to be in a movie. However, in the United States, we have a bit of a problem with the idea of forced servitude, so even if an actor is getting paid millions of dollars to do a film, they generally have the final say in whether they will actually do the picture or not, especially because so often the deals are just oral, and thus you get into he-said/he-said on whether the actor ACTUALLY agreed or not. You often hear stories of actors agreeing to star in films, and then having to drop out for whatever reason (and of course, in the case of Dougray Scott and Wolverine, sometimes actors are forced out due to circumstances beyond your control, and their replacement goes on to become a superstar in the role).The concept of a futuristic buddy cop movie about a human who is partnered with an anthropomorphic dinosaur certainly sounds absurd, but at the same time, a lot of successful movies could be described as “sounding absurd.” As William Goldman so eloquently wrote about Hollywood, “Nobody knows anything…… Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what’s going to work” (Goldman used to do a regular feature where he would try to pick which Summer and Winter films would be hits and which wouldn’t, and it IS funny to see how wrong he often was). Who would have guessed a film about a little kid being abandoned at home by his family would become the highest grossing comedy ever when Home Alone came out in 1990?
