My personal opinion is that they should go with less established actors for these movies. Sure, they won't get the "star power" of some big name, but cheaper actors should mean a lower break even point. I'm not a market researcher though, so it may make a bigger difference. I just wonder how many people go to a movie just because it has a few big names attached. I know I don't!

I’m inclined to agree. I would be fine with a no name or someone with just a little awareness. Christian Bale wasn’t a huge star when Begins came out. He had a cult following though.
