Actors need to eat and buy Ferraris (or whatever), but I am consistently amazed at the remarkable casts that can be assembled by throwing money at them.
Ellen Page, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Anna Paquin, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Omar Sy....
Can you immediately guess the movie in question?

X-Men: Days of Future Past! Well, thanks to comic book and fantasy movies, old thesbians like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan get to make money hand over fist for relatively easy work. It's gotta be easier than slaving away onstage 8 times a week. And the audience gets to have some gravitas along with their popcorn flick. It's win-win.

Full nerd disclosure: Stewart and McKellan are performing two plays in repertory on Broadway right now and I saw both (paying way more than I can afford). Afterward, I waited for them outside to get autographs and gush about how good the play was and I even blurted out that I was looking forward to X-men. I must have sounded like an idiot, but they were very gracious. Snapped pictures of them both, but this is the best I could do.
