40 Year old man, 26 Year old woman? - Passengers (2016) Discussion

[–] flowerchild-15037 8 years ago

....what's your point?

He's 37. It's not THAT big of an age difference.

Besides, even if it was, why does it matter? It's just a movie. It's not like they're together in real life. Their age doesn't have anything to with the movie. It's their job to act.

They probably should've cast a young man

[–] flowerchild-15037 8 years ago

Who would be the better choice?

Imo, I don't think there are very many good actors that are "younger" right now.

reply

[–] collint-46427 8 years ago

I dunno. Zac efron?

reply

[–] flowerchild-15037 8 years ago

Mehhh... I think Chris Pratt is better than Zac Efron lol. The only younger actor I can think of would be Liam Hemsworth.

reply

[–] gamer_12 8 years ago

Hemsworth is a horrible actor. Just watch Independence Day: Resurgence. Better yet: don't waste your time.

Zac Efron? For this movie?

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

[–] isigha 8 years ago

I can list a ton of younger actors (under 30) better than Pratt... but none of them are as famous as he is.

To name a few:

Joe Cole
Frank Dillane
Nick Robinson
Logan Miller
Ezra Miller
Robert Sheehan
Jack O'Connell
Alfred Enoch
Richard Harmon
Thomas Dekker

isigha, unfortunately, all of those names don`t guarantee buts in the seats at the movie theater (thats what the studio wanted when it casted the two), the movie is bad, lets admit that, not even Pratt and Lawrence, 2 big names, could save the movie, let alone someone like Enoch or Harmon, most of the movie goers never heard of these actors.

reply

[–] flowerchild-15037 8 years ago

Agreed. I have no clue who any of those people were that Isigha listed.

You mean somebody even more vacuous looking?

[–] CharlesTheBold 8 years ago

Nothing was said in the movie about an age discrepancy. I thought he looked younger that 40. Jennifer Lawrence frequently plays characters older than her actual age. At 21 she was playing a widow (SILVER LININGS) and at 22 a housewife with a 10-year-old kid ( AMERICAN HUSTLE)

There were, like, Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford, and in the Golden Age, Jack Benny and Mary Livingston. Oh. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. And so on. (I almost hoped Regis Philbin would marry either Kathie Lee Gifford or Kelly Ripa myself ha ha ha)

I'm 55. The last girl I went out with was 23 years younger than me. The one before that was 19 years younger than me. The one before that was 15 years younger than me. It isn't uncommon.

If you were a 37 year old man and could choose from 2000 females, are you going to pick the beaten up old 35 year old because she is the same age, or try your luck with the real hot 26 year old?

Beaten up 35 year old??? How old are you? 12?

The age gap is not uncommon, but we don't even know the difference between the characters' ages (only the actors'). The characters' ages were never said, as far as I recall.

reply

[–] lajohn 8 years ago

The age gap in this movie is a problem, because he choose to wake up a much younger female rather someone his own age.

reply

The age gap in this movie is a problem, because he choose to wake up a much younger female rather someone his own age.

It's only a problem to small minded people or jealous females who think an 11 or 12 year age gap is a big deal when you reach your mid 20s and beyond. He goes back 6 years, she goes ahead 6 years. Not much at all.

She was intelligent and mature as a writer and had beauty to go with it. That's a winner in my book.

DIdn't some quote a script fragment that said Aurora's character was supposed to be 33?

[–] mondieu21 8 years ago

A 10 years difference in age really surprises you? What a sheltered life you've must led.

reply

[–] creatorof2002 8 years ago

I agree this movie may be a fantasy but its way too unrealistic. In real life a woman would never all in love with a man who is several years older.

Where did you get this idea? You sound really naive.

Wow, this has to be a joke.
While I have dated younger, my last man was 16yrs older than myself. And that only ended for long-distance, two-country/job transfer reasons.
You must have a very young mind, to not be able to have a relationship outside of your own immediate age.

He is 37... so they are 11 years apart. Your point?

You have never seen a couple with an age gap in them? I HIGHLY doubt that.

This thread is troll bait

Count your lucky stars: Keanu Reeves, 52, was originally set to play Jim. 😛

reply

[–] privador81 8 years ago

Sry i liked the film and i didnt know their ages
I thought Jennifer is smth like 28 and Pratt is 32. So they seem ideal couple for me

Afterwards i watched Pratt interviews and i saw he wasnt 30 so filmmakers did some phoptoshop in the film i think

reply

[–] blust2 8 years ago

To me, Jennifer looks slightly older than Pratt, so they are not a perfect couple since man should be older than woman in a relationship. (I know kids these days don't care but I am old fashioned.)

reply

[–] Call_Me_AKV 8 years ago

And Reese Witherspoon was supposed to play Aurora alongside Keanu. Not JLaw.
