Shame Danny Dyer couldn't have been....


...yes, you guessed it, George Carter. (No offence to Ben Drew).

You are kidding me? Dyer wouldn't have worked here. Not at all.

Seeing as Nick Love is doing it he probably wrote the role with Dyer in mind and offered it to him. Thankfully he didn't take it (or he was unavailable or whatever).

Danny Dyer was meant to be a shoe-in as Carter, but apparently, the American distribution company felt he wasn't a big enough name (because Ben Drew's a household name, isn't he, WTF?)I think the Yanks are funding this, but if not, this is a British Institution, so what the hell does it have to do with them? I just saw another post for Ben Drew speaking in a Jamaican accent (dear God!)

Danny Dyer unavailable? Never happen.

Danny Dyer plays the same character in EVERY movie. Thankfully he was not in this movie

Danny Dyer would have been perfect for Carter. Much better than Ali G..sorry I mean Ben Drew..

Danny Dyer is now pretty much considered box office poison, so I'm sure the exec producers would have INSISTED he wasn't involved.


Can't you read? It says SPOILERS!

I was hoping you were going to say "Shame Danny Dyer couldn't have been...drowned at birth".

Yeah, this street pizza of a movie could have been so saved by having the 'great' DD bring his boiled monkey man persona to the party.

In fact, I wish he had been in it so I would have automatically not watched it on principal and saved myself the bother.

I think Danny Dyer would have been far better as Carter than what Plan B was.
