Even though a movie has started shooting with this B list mostly movie actress who has a stalled franchise, the studio is pressuring producers to dump her because she is considered box office poison. One bomb after another, including a very recent one.
Rooney Mara
Football franchises aren't known for breeding great actresses.
ReplyDeleteRooney family: Pittsburgh Steelers
Mara family: NY Football Giants
Nailed it.
ReplyDeleterooney has a serious case of resting bitchface. the most serious Ive ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI liked her in "Side Effects" and am looking forward to her performance with Cate B in "Carol."
ReplyDeleteHonestly, studios go primarily with who's hot at the time of casting and they also look to top actors and actresses to create credibility or tap a built in fan base. It's not based on art or acting, for the most part.
I could see Rooney carving out a niche for icy, cool, UES or Mainline princess a la Grace Kelly or Gwyneth (Emma / Talented Mr Ripley).
Some many actors have bombs on their resumes and are not considered box office poison. Rooney must be a handful.
ReplyDeleteI would be an actress/model too if I were fuggly, but my family was sooo rich they owned football teams.
ReplyDeleteI find her more attractive than her sister, who's a shit actor too IMO.
ReplyDeleteSomeone once pointed out that her face is lopsided, with one side being bigger/wider than the other, and that's all I can see. That and her ugly smile with weird teeth. I laughed when the Sony hacked emails revealed that the studio was desperate to find a way to continue the franchise without her.
ReplyDeleteyes, absolutely.
ReplyDeletekate mara is unsettlingly unattractive.
So does her sister, Kate. She never smiles.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think she was bad on House of Cards but then again, I was getting sick of her character so didn't mind saying goodbye to her role.
ReplyDeleteWhat an annoying character; I couldn't be happier when he pushed her ass under the train. She was miscast too, as it was supposed to be portrayed by an attractive actress.
ReplyDeleteShe never was THE problem of Dragon Tatoo movies.The problem is that Fincher was too expensive and control freak ,the other books are not good and Craig wanted to be better paid
ReplyDelete@Molly you spoke truth there. I think collective glee of good riddance with that push. So, we know she can play annoying as hell very well. LOL.
ReplyDeleteShe will never achieve Hitchcock's Icy Blonde status. Nev to the er.
ReplyDeleteoooooh.....you had me til' Gwyneth.. : /
ReplyDelete***SPOILER ALERT***
ReplyDeletehahaha-- i truly am JUST watching H.O.C. now from the beginning..ah well, i snooze i lose...
I like Rooney Mara and I am looking forward to "Carol".
ReplyDeleteShe goes in & does her job & leaves--none of these endless selfies & instagrams & tweets of what the f*** she's wearing or baking or screwing.... she keeps her private life private.
Look here's the thing..."studios go primarily with who’s hot at the time of casting" well, how do people get "hot"? It's not always just random. Sometimes there are machines in place to generate this buzz. And sometimes I see it and think...they keep trying to make this person the next it thing and it just doesn't matter how much they shove he or she down our throats, we ain't buyin.
ReplyDeleteKate Bosworth still gets work...but stop trying to push her as a leading actress. Barring some amazing latent something, we are just not on board. Same with Rooney Mara. It's just a nope.
Daddy I want to be an actress, NOW.
ReplyDeleteCall one of your high powered studio mogul buddies before I have a raging hissy!
× two.
Ok, are there any straight men/queer women on here? Both Rooney and (especially) Kate are super hot and have decently acted roles in which they weren't obnoxious characters. I will admit, their recent stylings aren't really my thing, but to call them unattractive, ugly, or untalened is quite a stretch.
