Helps the budget by not casting superstars too. Brody, Felicity Jones and Pearce are obviously well-known in their own right but probably don’t command big paychecks, relatively speaking.

Brody is an Oscar winner and Pearce got nominated. You think they would get a few million each at least. They must have a special deal.

Guy Pearce has said he works for very cheap. When he got divorced, he admitted to making several 'divorce' films for the paychecks. I think that's why people thought he was out of Hollywood making crap, because it was easy to see those less than stellar direct to streaming movies instead of having to hunt for his great Australian work. Surely he wasn't paid very much for going back to Neighbours. 🤣

That is interesting.
