This foreign born A-/B+ list mostly movie actress who is an Oscar winner/nominee turned down multiple movies because of a television show she thought she would be doing. Apparently what was proposed to the network didn't involve enough sex and nudity, so they went with something else.
Alicia Vikander?
ReplyDeleteOr Margot Robbie
DeleteNaomi Watts--the Game of Thrones prequel series HBO just passed on.
ReplyDeleteyep naomi watts, HBO scrapping the prequel that was already going to happen & instead greenlit a different one
ReplyDeletewow, its amazing how much longevity the metoo era has had!
shits never gonna change
Well, the Targaryen prequel will certainly have a lot of sex and nudity.

ReplyDeleteOh sh!t, they passed on the prequel, well Naomi Watts's acting can be a bummer.
ReplyDeleteTargaryen prequel, makes sense, HBO loves shows with porn, incest, rape, torture and/or dragons. But it's all art, it's HBO 😅
Really looking forward to some good Sunday night incest scenes. Hopefully they cast hot broads.
DeleteMy grandad says he's sick of "All that mother fucking incest on TV!"
DeleteHating Watchmen so far, awful take on the source material and the movie, but hey at least it makes good Emmy bait.
ReplyDeleteHBO better crank out some fantasy crap soon, otherwise shows like Witcher, Wheel of Time and whatever Tolkien juggernaut Prime is going to unleash will eat their lunch. His Dark Materials doesn't count, the book series is mostly anti-god/religion.
That's how the cookie crumbles.

ReplyDeleteAgreed Naomi and GOT prequel...I think the Targaryen line would be more exciting for all sorts of reasons, anyway. Im sure she's mad, but never seems to go without work for long.
ReplyDeleteOnly likeable thing about the Watchmen tv show is Trent's music.
ReplyDelete+1 longtime, then again his music is often the best thing about shows/movies 😎
ReplyDeleteOh wait, too late.

What was HBO working on, all those years that GoT was running? Weren't they planning ahead for their next big show? Something else that people around the world would like? Or just the same old sh!t that only plays well on two coasts?
Yeah turned off the Watchmen before the first episode finished. Interesting concept but nothing to do with the actual Watchmen! It's heavily political (just entertain me!) and falls into the trap of making a normal woman able to kick the asses of men far bigger than her while also using jump cuts.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Naomi Watts. It sucks because HBO basically made Her come out of this situation as both the looser and screwed.
