HOLY CRAP: Gary Oldman went full dwarf in TIPTOES movie

How the hell did this slip under the radar? It’s called Tiptoes, and it’s a real, non-spoof movie (albeit direct-to-DVD) from 2003. Kate Beckinsale falls in love with Matthew McConaughey, and then he drops the bomb: he’s from a family of dwarves. She’s pregnant with his child, which because of his genes is probably going to be a dwarf child, and she’s worried it’s going to hack its way out of her uterus with a flute and mini pickaxe, because that’s what dwarves do. But more importantly, Gary Oldman plays McConnaughey’s dwarf brother.

a few things.

- gary oldman played a dwarf and didn't win an award? the film must be hideous.

- what happened to patricia arquette? i used to love her, with all my heart.

- wtf is wrong with matthew mcconaughey? do romcoms pay extremely well or his agent a useless piece of shit?

I think it's one of those films you gamble on. I may work or it may not. I think they all really wanted to make something different but somehow the pieces didn't fall together, which is why we've never heard of it. Why they would pick Oldman for that part is beyond me. That may have been the casting mistake that cost them the movie.

There are so many great little people actors that should have gotten this role. I think it all part of the arrogance of Hollywood that they felt an important little person role could be given to a "biggie." A bit of insult really.
