There are so few movies that still cast on chemistry. Now it's often, like, this person's movies make this amount of money, and this person's movie makes that amount of money, so let's put them together.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
On a really big budget movie you do chemistry reads, and you sort of hedge your bets a little bit more and make sure that these people get along. But on the low budget side of things, I have to trust my gut that when I cast these people, the various elements are going to play together.
You can't create chemistry. In fact, the chemistry between two actors is for people to see, sense, and judge. The only thing we can do as actors is to come on board individually because we feel the same kind of passion for a script and for a director to cast us because he feels that, as actors, we'll do justice to that part.
During a movie, chemistry is so important, and yet they just assume actors can fake their way through it. That doesn't always work.
It's important that the director and actor have good chemistry, and not just the actors.
I really think the key to a film is the chemistry of people.
Chemistry is not anything an executive producer or writer can orchestrate or plan; you just hope for it.
We've all seen great actors and actresses who are missing a certain chemistry. And it's not about getting along or not getting along.
I think chemistry and great acting go hand-in-hand.
When two characters or two actresses are together for a while there is bound to be chemistry developing.
When it comes to chemistry with actors, I always feel chemistry is not something that comes and goes. You either have it or you don't.
