I think Eames is flexible, as in, he'd nail anything that stayed still long enough, male, female, goat. I don't think it matters to him.

I'm still vastly amused that THIS is the film that finally broke Tom Hardy into the big leagues, fandom-wise. I thought for sure it would have been Black Hawk Down (which I think suffered from TOO MANY PRETTY BOYS syndrome - plus, this was when LOTR came out & everyone was all focused on Orlando to the exclusion of everyone else in that film), Layer Cake (which no one saw)or RockNRolla (which, again, no one saw).

All the actors in BHW look alike in their field gear, so I'm not surprised that people kind of ignored the movie wrt to fic writing. I think that would be different if the movie came out now, due to the build-in fandom of GK.

Also, idk about no one seeing Layer Cake or RnR. I think if you mean in wider distribution in the US, maybe. In fannish circles? I think quite a few people have seen one or both of the films.

I think you've got a point, Black Hawk Down-wise. There was a small, but prolific fandom when the film came out (actually, I still mod the fic comm on LJ for it, for all the fic that gets posted now), but it waned as people moved on. And it was always very Hoot/Eversmann/Blackburn/Grimes-centric, character-wise. Actor-wise, the same, mostly Eric/Orlando/Josh/Ewan. But I definitely think you're right that if the film had come out after GK, maybe the BHD fandom would have been bigger.

I just don't think anyone SAW Layer Cake or RockNRolla. No one ever talked about either film, and I was floored that there wasn't a comm for One Two/Handsome Bob fic, at least, because, well, it was canon. But, you never know which film or pairing or actor will finally tickle fandom's fancy. Much like last year with the rest of the world discovered Karl and Quinto, this year it's JGL and Tom's turn.

When LC came out, everyone I know saw it. RnR automatically has a viewership because of Guy Richie.

Neither were the Big Movie at the time, no. But that's what's happening with Inception, there's nothing else, it's summer, and so on. The same with Nutrek, it was the thing at the time. That's all.
