I guess if he wants to continue with the British movies it's good too.
But I think all of us want to see him in more American movies!
Just as long as he doesn't agree to a cutesy romance with Jessica Alba or Lindsay Lohan.
R.I.P., Chaaarlie.
Love you for always and every day!
I'm pretty sure his new movie's an American film. They are filming in New York after all. :)

Some one had to point it out.
shareYeah, because American cinema is just SOOOOO far below the rest of the world's, right? Pfffft, gimme a *beep* break. Large countries flock in hordes to see the latest American pictures - Always have, always will. Consistantly, our mainstream and independent markets produce more films in a year than any other country does in 10, but the ammount of quality films that get placed into lists of '250 greatest films' (WHICH ARE FILLED WITH AMERICAN FILMS) far surpasses the number any other country puts out.
Whens the last time England or France made a Godfather trilogy? No Country For Old Men? There Will Be Blood? Fight Club? Shawshank Redemption? Green Mile? Pulp Fiction? Inglorious Basterds? Apocalypse Now? Taxi Driver? Goodfellas? Forest Gump? American History X? Sunset Boulevard? The Shining? The Pianist? One Flew Over the Coo-Coo's Nest? The Jacket? Sin City? Elephant Man? Blade Runner? Fargo? Donnie Darko? The answer is *beep* NEVER. You can't compare American cinema to any foreign cinema. It doesn't work. We rule the market, and justifingly so. Good-day, you *beep* *beep*
"If either 'Dark Knight' or 'Scarface' are in your top 10 list...Kill yourself."
LOL.... America is the only Country that can make good films... Yeah right... What about all the CRAP that you release on a regular basis? You rule the market in crap DTV and lousy romcom crap too.
"Whens the last time England or France made a Godfather trilogy blah blah blah."
Great Expectations , Kes, Don't Look Now ,Trainspotting, The Bridge on the River Kwai, If...., (The Ladykillers, Get Carter, The Italian Job, The Americans did a great job of remaking three..not.) The Lavender Hill Mob, The Long Good Friday, Withnail & I, Zulu, Gandhi, The Lady Vanishes, This is England, Brazil, The Man in the White Suit, Mona Lisa, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, The Day of the Jackal, A Clockwork Orange, The Killing Fields, Snatch, Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later. ect..
You need to get your head out your ass.

Amen to that! I don't care where a film comes from; if it's good, I will watch and enjoy.
shareIt is sad that American films are typically a rip-off of some other country's stories. We take a lot of ideas from the Japanese for our horror films, for instance. There is no originality left...unless they make movies based on novels...
shareThe US made and released thousands of movies last year in theaters. Not one of those movies was a remake of a Japanese film and only ONE was a remake of a foreign film. To say that "American films are typically a rip-off of some other country's stories" when in reality only 1 in every several thousand is a remake is obviously and undeniably downright false.

Any Kurt Cobain-loving pussy who lists Fight Club and Donnie Darko among the best films America has produced has NO place giving anybody that kind of *beep*
Do us all a favor and hit yourself in the head with a claw hammer until you're not a stupid *beep* any more. Or rather, just emulate the one valid contribution that *beep* Cobain made to the world and blow your empty head off.
Dumb pussy *beep*.
like always the USA excells in quatity over quality
and even with that list of goof movies take a look at their numbers, most of them "flopped" in the usa itself but did very well in the rest of the world.
so yeah hollywood does produce a decent film every now and then, but since those are never apricated domesticly it's no wonder they ar rare and far apart

Don't scare me....i poop easily

I think it is the other way around American movies don't cast cute boys like Dom. They cast the big tall typical guys. If American films cast anyone like Dom they are always the best friend or the corky guy.
I don't agree with it, Dom needs to be in as many good roles as possible.
What's a "corky" guy?
shareI think Dom does the movies he can get cast in. I think he has had some problems getting American producers to notice him. I think his new one is American though. They are filming in Brooklyn.
share...and most of the cast is american.

Glad to hear it. Great. Grand.
shareI will be happy if I never see Dominic Monaghan in an American production again. Good riddance.
I'm not surprised that people here are bashing America. I'm not saying that American cinema is perfect. But the last thing it needs is a non-talented, annoying, ugly little terd with a bitter, hateful fanbase corrupting more American productions
[deleted]
Hang on there a minute. I'm not bitter or hateful, though I do not deny corrupting a few people here and there. Anyway, there's no need to be quite so hateful when stating your own opinions.
Bite Me.
Ignore him - he has has an irrational and probably furiously jealous hatred of Dom and insists on slinging this around on his board. He's probably infatuated with Evangeline, all things considered.
Viggophile all the way. Love slash? Put it in your siggy - it deserves it.

What a stupid comment to make.
Yeah, but guess what, Americans still make the best movies (oooh snap).

Americans see more of him than us Brits :( It's not fair.
shareMake better movies and you'll see him more.
Aren't I a cheeky little bugger? :-P
Because you can't have a scary movie if you leave the shower curtain open!
Exactly lol I can't even think of a good movie besides Sauna to come out of Europe. Also Europe is responsible for the worst thing ever created in any type of media...Monty Python. Euro-fail.
shareHe just did X-Men Origins:Wolverine.
"What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left."
This movie was "American", as in filmed in the USA. And why is it so important to watch American movies. In British movies they speak English too, so it's not as if anyone is asking you to watch subtitles or listen to dubbing.
shareMaybe he doesn't do American movies because he will be required to do an American accent. Which most movie companies require of foreign actors for roles. It's actually quite sickening so it is. And ignorant on the American movie makers behalf when they wont allow actors to use their native accent. Yes it's because most Americans wont be able to understand an accent that isn't American. And this IS one reason such a requirement is there for movie roles for foreign actors. So to hell with that. If they can't accept a person for who they are, then it is their loss!.
2732 zombies were harmed in the making of this movie - L4D2: Dark Carnival finale.
it is insane for anyone to seriously try to argue that europe and the rest of the world can't produce American caliber films. First of all, American films are generally terrible with the exception of the ones being made by a handful of gifted American directors (such as PTA, Quentin Tarantino, Fincher, and so on) because most Americans don't want to take any form of art past face value. Cut and dry and easy to swallow is what makes for most successful movies in America. Secondly, movies such as City of God, The Holy Mountain, Irreversible, 8 1/2, Spirited Away, and the road warrior are every bit as good as any American classic. Also all the best American directors have been influenced heavily by international cinema.

So, you're saying, we should be angry at movie producers for wanting American characters to speak in American accents?
It's called "acting", *beep* The ability to portray a spectrum of different nationalities or types is integral to the practice. You don't have an actor portray a typical 30-something male who was born and raised in America with a London accent.
You're a *beep* moron.

Furthermore, America does chuck out a lot of trash films as well as good ones. With such a high volume, they are bound to have some good ones.
UK film and TV especially seems to focus on fewer, but higher quality productions. British comedy is a classic - American TV always aims for seven seasons at 24 episodes or similar. You look at Blackadder, Red Dwarf Fawlty Towers, It Ain't Half Hot Mum and so on, they all have about 6 episodes and only 4 or 5 seasons, but they are TOP quality TV.
America does suffer from hit-and-miss episodes in every season... and then there's the cop-out of the 'clip show' episodes (shudder).
But clearly America is ONE of the cinematic leaders. The fact that the US and the UK often use each others' actors and film in each others' countries says a LOT for both industries.
Heck, most people love Aliens - US main cast and top level crew, using British supporting actors and US guys residing in the UK, as well as British film crew and filmed at Acton power station in London.
You combine the best elements of both and you get kick-ass films!!

Has everyone forgotten that America consists of every damn country, not to mention Europe and Asia has its fair share of crap too, or have you forgotten such heinous names as Uwe Boll and Bruno Mattei?
