None, for me the director is most important in deciding what I see.

Daniel Day-Lewis. It's not just that he's so great, it's that if he agreed to the role it must be something interesting. Or at least he'll make it watchable.

While there are many who I enjoy watching, I don't think there are any that I will watch simply because of who they are. If a movie does not look interesting, it just doesn't look interesting.

I heard Murphy's Law 2 and Kinjite 2 are also in the works. I heard J. Lee Thompson is in negotiations to direct. Jill Ireland was asked to co-star, but she passed.

I can get behind your selections, with the possible exception of Matt Damon (though I do like him). I'll also throw in Downey and Fassbender.

I think that all of my favorite actors have been in something that I will never see because the movie doesn't interest me.

So, none.

This.

I follow directors. If I like them, shit trailer or not. I'm most likely going to see their work.
