Why Hollywood Won't Cast Kellan Lutz Anymore

After Twilight's first installment stunned at the box office, Lutz got a few movie opportunities right away, but none of them managed to make an impact. 

First, there was his 2010 crime thriller Meskada, which was blistered by critics and didn't even register at the box office. Then came A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, which was moderately successful with ticket sales but received strong critical rebuke (and was released the same year as his aforementioned Oscar prediction, to boot!) Even an effort to re-team with Twilight co-star Ashley Greene in a romantic drama called A Warrior's Heart sputtered, perhaps due to the heaping mound of bad reviews that followed its festival debut.

Even so, Lutz got a genuine shot at making a name for himself well outside of the Twilight zone by landing a role in 2011's Immortals, Tarsem Singh's take on the violence and mythology of Greek gods. In the film, Lutz plays Poseidon, joining several other up-and-comers with promise, including Henry Cavill, Luke Evans, and Isabel Lucas. Alas, the film barely made back its production budget on the domestic front and failed to impress almost anyone with a critical credential

That wouldn't be the last of Lutz's opportunities, of course, but it did mark the start of a downward trend in his box office value.
