Actor's salaries always change and it depends on many factors.


Chris Evans is getting like 300,000 for Capt America, but I'm pretty sure his name is high profile enough for 5 mill or more

Really? That seems very low. It's not like it's a small independent film he's starring in.

He couldve gotten 2 mill with a different movie.

But he's thinking smart

He will be locked down for every sequel and the avengers...that's 300,000 per film guaranteed.

Then there's action figures
Video games
Etc.

He will make money off of the franchise, plus his profile will go up


These guys are very smart..they think long term

I have to agree with Talli here, but speaking of Chris Evans he is a not serious actor. I never liked his performances. Having a ripped body and taking shirtless shots doesn't put you on A-list. I admire Paul Walker more than Chris Evans. I think Paul Walker would be a good choice for Captain America. I think it is still early, they can rethink the casting and remove Evans from the lead role.

Dude Memento's budget was 4.5 to 5 million dollars, and I've checked several sources. Just think about it. The camera and lenses alone cost $250,000 (per camera) and that does not include the film stock. Add in lights, locations, cast and crew, food, pre production, post production and advertising, and a $300,000 budget isn't possible.

Hm well then I don't remember where i've read it was 300 000 but without thinking I assumed it's so. Or maybe I've missed a detail, maybe the text i read it from said 300 000 being the price of something specific, not the whole movie. I don't remember.

Anyway the point still applies that Pacino's role costed a lot more than the whole Memento which is more awkward than Leo's paycheck.

lol they wont...chris evans has a really good relationship with the folks over at marvel, they're really in love with him

i dont think he's a good dramatic actor, but some people seem to have suggested that his performance in Sunshine(Danny Boyle) is a revelation....i havent seen it, but my intuition is that its not him thats good in it, but the film itself...and some people have a hard time separating the performance from the film.
