It's business though and there aren't many (any?) who could carry a large, cinema-release movie reliably enough for a major studio to fund it, so it's a tough one. You could go with lower funding / indy... But then the movie isn't going to raise anywhere near as much awareness. Expecting a studio to front the money on a total gamble is unrealistic.
Although in this case, it may have been better to cast a new face as that role and then fill the supporting cast with big names for the "star power".
