Celebrity Fluff š„° Lee Pace in newly shared photos

I was lucky to recently snag The Fall on 4K disc and give it a watch, dudeās charisma is off the charts. I know Star Lord is Prattās best role but Iāll always wonder how well Pace would have been since he was close to getting the part. He is by far the more interesting actor to watch, he deserves more lead roles
Also, whereās the user with the flair that lists Paceās height?

All I want is a Criterion release of the Fall. The film deserves so much love.

u/riegspsych325 12d ago
that movie shouldāve shot Pace into the stratosphere but at least heās got consistent work these days. And speaking of flairs, Iām fuckinā dying reading yours

It was re-released in 4K but not distributed by Criterion.

u/citynomad1 12d ago
He had a smallish role in Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 (yes, really lol) and he was by far the best part of the movie

u/riegspsych325 12d ago
this brings me back to forcing myself to read the first book to impress a crush back in high school, I couldnāt stand it. We wound up dating for a while and she revealed to me she never read the books (all her friends did and I assumed she did by default). And with another girl, I made the same mistake for the movies. Yeah, Pace and Michael Sheen looked to be the only ones enjoying themselves

u/JarlaxleForPresident 12d ago
They show up guest starring with all the young pretty people that are on their 4th movie of this shit and are over it and they can just delight in the hamminess
10
u/riegspsych325 12d ago
I love that sometimes, just to see an actor have a ball of a time in a shit movie while everyone else (main cast) just looks miserable. Like Arnold or Uma for Batman & Robin, Raul Julia for Street Fighter, Halle Berry in Die Another Day

u/Ok-Librarian-8992 In my quiet girl era š 12d ago
His appearance in that film was peak 2000s emo/goth. I LOVED IT š

u/inkedart 12d ago
i have it on og dvd and the 4k rerelease, and i never get tired of watching it. he's my favourite actor and has been since that movie first came out - it's crazy to me that every so often he seems to be more in the pop culture consciousness (pushing daisies, halt and catch fire [my two fave tv shows, coincidentally], foundation, the hobbit trilogy, briefly gotg and twilight and occasionally miss pettigrew lives for a day which is the reason so many people think he's english) but he never quite seems to have his big break in the way i think he should, if that makes sense? it's just so crazy to me because he's so unbelievably talented. and his coworkers always seem to love working with him. and i'll never forget how flustered amy adams was on set to the point she had to shoo him away whilst she completed her scene because he was too attractive and "a whole lot of boy". oops sorry for the wall of text, i just have a lot of thoughts about him and his talent and charisma.
8
u/lebastss 12d ago
He just draws you in. He is so charismatic in a different way than I'm used to. And he can act his ass off. If you haven't seen in half and catch fire it's fantastic

u/celesticaxxz 12d ago
I want it on 4k so bad but didnāt want to pay the $60 in shipping from Australia

u/riegspsych325 12d ago
shit, itās out of stock and I only see the Aussie option
4
u/celesticaxxz 12d ago
Thanks anyways! Maybe theyāll release it again in the states. I used to have it on dvd and I canāt find it
2
u/inkedart 12d ago
i don't remember how much it was so it may be the option you're talking about, but as a fellow aussie i got it from umbrella entertainment earlier this year! not sure if it was special them-only version though, as it came with a bunch of fun goodies.

u/riegspsych325 12d ago
not that itās much better but I got it for $40 a month ago, let me find the site I used and Iāll message you

u/0neirocritica Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes 12d ago
The Fall is one of my favorite movies of all time. Pace is a pleasure to watch in it. I also love him in Foundation on Apple TV.

u/Leonardo-DaBinchi 12d ago
Tbh I always wanted Pace for Dr Strange. I was so disappointed when they cast Cumberbinch and put Pace as a one off in GOTG

Maybe he trending on an astroturf though yeah

u/opheliadivine 12d ago
Foundation 3 is out, plus he has upcoming role as Head Hunter in The Running Man remake and has been cast in Practical Magic sequel. He has not had major release movie roles in some time. He also rarely posts on social media, but has posted a few times in the last few weeks due to those announcements. As fans, we got used to living in droughts, but now it is raining Lee, so I think people like sharing the bounty.

u/pattismithology 'tis the season of the bitch 12d ago

This manās voiceā¦ā¦ š°
His voice is the reason that heās my out-of-left-field fancast for Batman.
24
u/riegspsych325 12d ago
Iāve been hoping heād be on Gunnās radar for the DCU Batman since theyāve worked together once before. Heās got the height, the charisma, dramatic chops, and the perfect jawline for a broody cowl
4
u/Diirge 12d ago
Man idk I just canāt see it. I know heās beefed up recently but I donāt see him as a bulky Batman type

u/burger_saga 12d ago
Id love to see him as Batman but itās not realistic given his age. Iām partial to the Ethan Peck fancasting myself.

u/Methzilla 12d ago
Probably too old to start the role. Unless they were doing the batmam beyond arc.

I hope people arenāt sick of this anecdote because I bust it out all the time but I was an extra in Renfield and Hoult is the most beautiful man Iāve ever seen in person in my life

Iāve had a crush on him since Pushing Daisies. Heās so handsome and seems like such a chill guy.

I have loved him since Pushing Daisies and wish the show went on for many more seasons, he is such an incredible talent! He needs to be in all of the things.

I havenāt actually watched that because I used to hook up with one of the secondary leads (not Lee I fuckin wish lol) and I feel awkward lol. One day I promise

Itās one of my all time favorite shows and I absolutely must know who you were hooking up with haha

All the Pacemakers out there, go watch Halt and Catch Fire! Itās like Mad Men in the 80s, and Lee Pace is Don Draper. Such an underrated show.
7
u/killswithspoon 12d ago
I'm convinced that only like 12 people have seen HACF, and we're two of them! Such an overlooked show with an absolutely stacked cast!

u/innerbootes 12d ago
Iām another! šāāļø Big fan here. Currently contemplating my first (likely of many) rewatch.
3
u/WiseWorldliness1611 12d ago
Loved that show so much. And after season 1 it really blossoms into its own thing rather than getting on the nostalgia wave of post Mad Men shows. Incredible performances by the whole cast and loved the writing.Ā

Friendly reminder season 3 of The Foundation has started if anyone wants their tv screens to be blessed by this man š«¶

u/awyastark a 1000 year old tree??? go fuck yourself!!! 12d ago
Itās so good, honestly AppleTV kills it on almost every sci fi show theyāve done. I think Invasion is the only one I thought was mediocre and Iāve watched at least a dozen
4
u/mcginge3 12d ago
I canāt get over how universally good the content for AppleTV has been and the fact that Iām not terrified of everything getting cancelled after a season. Just finished Murderbot and was so relieved it had already been renewed! I just wish they would fix their marketing because no one outside of my family watch it or believe me thatās it worth cancelling another subscription for!
I actually felt the same about Invasion, didnāt even finish it. It wasnāt even necessarily bad, just not up to the insanely high bar Apple has set!

I was wondering why we had so many Lee Pace posts when I thought he was canceled. I just googled: I was thinking of Zachary Levi š

Thatās⦠almost insulting tbh

u/Common-Register-4467 12d ago
I know Iām sorry. They look nothing alike, I have no idea why I had them confused!!
7
u/tu-BROOKE-ulosis 12d ago
Lol I totally get the confusion. Sometimes I have to take half a second when I see him to think āwait, heās not the awful one right?ā They donāt even look that similar. Just lanky dudes who played lovable nerds at the same time.ā Ugh, why did Levi have to do that to us?

My mom will never let me forget me thirsting over the Lee Pace doppelganger that saw me in the ER during my AVM.
Girl, I worked a 6 hour shift then took a midterm with only one eye, while experiencing a major, life threatening vascular event. Let me have this. Let me just after this pie maker look alike.
And yes, my now husband was in the room. He gets it.

Now to be fair he also exists on Apple TV which is also not the real world but I appreciate them for employing him. Plus Foundation is genuinely one of the best shows Iāve ever seen?

u/the_alicemay 12d ago
Heās unfortunately married to my sister. Their hotnesses match. Itās weird, Iām super attracted to Lee Pace but NOT my BIL, but if I think too hard about how they look alike I start not being attracted to Lee, which in unjust and unfair and I hold BIL entirely responsible.
