In a world where Dina Lohan's daughter has trouble getting insured for a film, it is almost impossible for me to believe a Sun story from this morning that says Amy Winehouse has been offered her first movie role. Oh sure, I can see Amy doing a cameo in a movie. You know, something where she only has to be there for maybe a half a day. Get her while she is fairly lucid, have her sing a few bars about 100 times and hopefully use some CGI and some editing to make it appear as if she knew what she was doing.
But, the suggestion that she has been offered a role is a bunch of crap. Maybe someone in a meeting threw out her name and everyone had a good laugh, but there is no way a studio is going to offer her a film in a big budget release. Allegedly the studio that made the offer is Universal. If they did, someone needs to go over there and kick some sense into them and tell them to lay off the coke until after lunch.
To make this even more ridiculous, the role for Amy sounds similar to the Jack Black role in School of Rock. Yep. The role calls for Amy to be a teacher. Uh huh. A role model for kids in her class and around the world. Gives a whole new meaning to smoking in the boys room.
Oh? And her co-star? No, it isn't Tom Cruise although that would be fun. I swear to you if they did cast someone like Tom Cruise what they could do is film a documentary simultaneously of the filming and their interaction and I swear that movie would make $100M. I would watch it fifty times. No, the alleged co-star is Jonathan Rhys Myers. A very good actor. A great actor actually, but not a big star. Basing a $50M movie on the combination of Amy Winehouse and Jonathan Rhys Meyers sounds like one of the worst ideas in modern history.
didn't or doesn't JRM have his own drug probs?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly, kris!
ReplyDeleteThe only lines she can remember are the ones on a mirror!
ReplyDeleteCracky couldn't Act her way out of a popcorn bag.
Get it?!? Act..popcorn...cuase Act makes popc..oh forget it.
Until she gets a handler a la Daddy Spears, I'm not buying it. I would love to see her turn her life around but 2 weeks sober in the Caribbean does not make a person sober enough to be trusted.
ReplyDeleteNo one would ever want to be teacher's pet. God only knows what you'd catch.
ReplyDelete"Dina Lohan's daughter"
ReplyDeleteI love how you worked around the ban, LOL!
Ror, never heard of Act, but your first line was a killer. :)
It's really hard to look at pics of Amy. It's just sad that someone with such a bright future could let themselves get to this point. I find it hard to believe this is true.
ReplyDeleteshe confirms that brits have awful teeth..
ReplyDeleteare there no dentists in the UK?
her teeth looks like crack rock...prolly is...
If she did get a film offer whoever offered it must be as nuts as she is. Probably taking the same medication as she is.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Sun. Only slightly more reputable than the Weekly World News.
ReplyDeleteJ- she is a crackhead. how many crackheads you know with a perfect set of pearly whites?
ReplyDeleteJRM (born Jonathan Michael Francis O'Keefe in Dublin according to IMDB) has admitted to a drinking problem, hasn't he? (As so many of us Irish folk do.) I was shocked at how much his beautifully chiseled face had bloated and coarsened when I saw him interviewed at the Globes the other day. He had the potential to be the great actor of his generation, but it;s not good news that he's even in the running for a movie with Amy Winehouse.
ReplyDeletebookjacket, many think his prblem was more like coke,hence the chiseled jaw. the bloat is actually his normal face since he got off the junk from what i saw on GG. IMO of course.
ReplyDeleteThat movie would be the disaster of the century.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that picture!
And I got it, Ror. Not in my cupboard right now, though - we splurged and got Orville.
That picture is so sad. Talent wasted, not unlike Whitney Houston.
