It is about time she got in front of the camera again. Knowing Glenn's film choices, or lack thereof, especially lead ones, I have to think that she must have seen something in this script that she really liked. Rodrigo definitely knows how to bring out the actress in all, as was clearly evident in the little-seen Mother and Child. THis film, with a great cast (LOVE Michael Gambon), definitely has lofty expectations, which I hope are met and exceeded. Glenn really deserves that Oscar, and I hope she gets it, even if not with this film.Jonathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-343761095529044602010-12-15T15:27:05.525-05:002010-12-15T15:27:05.525-05:00BTW - I noticed that Brenda Fricker and Janet McTe...BTW - I noticed that Brenda Fricker and Janet McTeer are both in the cast - an actressexual's delight! I hope they both get meaty roles, as we don't see either one nearly often enough.<br /><br />@Helen - if you read this blog I'm sure you know that quality is indeed a constant concern of Nathaniel's. If there is anyone who is a champion of quality filmmaking it is he. However this is awards season and so "awardage" is on the brain - but so is the sexism/ageism of AMPAS, etc.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40629777131908185352010-12-15T15:20:17.318-05:002010-12-15T15:20:17.318-05:00Looks like Close has beat Kidman to the punch - wi...Looks like Close has beat Kidman to the punch - will this deflate the chances of the "Danish Girl" getting made?

I think Glenn (who's also a co-writer of the screenplay) would be great in this role, I'm quite curious (but is she lesbian in the film? I've read something about an affair between her character and Mia Wasikowka, but maybe I misunderstood).<br />I'm really unsure about its Oscar chances, Garcia has never been embraced by the Academy until now and the film is a little independent production that will need a huge critical support and good box-office numbers... but who knows? Anyway, it's a pleasure to see Glenn again on the big screen!Stefanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-86757239143387836082010-12-15T13:51:42.303-05:002010-12-15T13:51:42.303-05:00Nomination # 6 for Glenn?

The movie is based upon a short story by George Moore. <br /><br />The movie hasn't even been made yet and people are already talking about award nominations? Movies are not sports -- where the big WIN is what matters. What the hell is the current obsession with box office earnings and awards? No wonder we no longer make excellent movies in this country.

I've missed her; was never really crazy about Damages, so I haven't gotten my Close fix for the past few years.<br /><br />On a separate note, thank god that I'm not alone in being underwhelmed by The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I wouldn't have been that harsh (it's a B-/C+ for me)...at least not for the first one. Just wait until you get to The Girl Who Played with Fire...just terrible. I actually hope Fincher and Zaillian rework the hell out of the story for the remake, because a lot of the novels' problems transferred to the Swedish movies.jbaker475https://www.blogger.com/profile/00573253614589573312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-69524102360702318882010-12-15T13:27:30.260-05:002010-12-15T13:27:30.260-05:00Oh my god- she really looks like an Irish man (spe...Oh my god- she really looks like an Irish man (specifically Enda Kenny).
