Maybe she'll star in the film, and someone else tackle the stage musical? That's weird that they're doing both. What comes first? It wouldn't do too much good to have the film come out before the musical. She'd have to sing there, so she wouldn't lip sync for the film? This isn't just any ole' voice to try and mimic here. So many questions with this. But do I think that she can handle it? Definitely.

Perhaps it will celebrate the latter? Or maybe the better film is in the former. I'm up for either. A celebration of entertainment OR a good dramatic film.<BR/><BR/>I thought Judy Davis was perfectly super, but haven't really gotten over her beating Emma Thompson's mighty work in Wit all that award season, so I feel oddly resentful of her too!<BR/><BR/>But no, I don't feel Hathaway will win a Cotillard style Oscar. I say this because I believe Cotillard in Piaf to be the best performance by an actress this decade, so it would be asking a little too much of the wonderful Hathaway to go in demanding that.<BR/><BR/>But I'm happy to wait this one out to see all the same.<BR/><BR/>On the plus side, think what it will do for people who'll go and check out more Garland as a direct RESULT of this project?

(I've gone from cold on Anne - or at least neutral - to a fan overnight, literally. Anne+Rosemarie DeWitt+Bill Irwin = bliss.And where were Rosemarie and Bill's Oscar noms, btw?) So right now I'm of the mind that Anne can do anything she put her formative mind and considerable skills to.<BR/><BR/>What don't we know about Garland already? Well, just in Nat's post there's this bit that I didn't know - or had forgotten:<BR/><BR/>//I think modern audiences tend to think that Judy Garland's comeback in A Star is Born (1954) was the comeback of a middle aged star, regaining her luster for another iconic role... But it's not so. Garland was in fact only 32 when A Star is Born surfaced.//<BR/><BR/>Maybe Garland fans/freak/worshippers etc know all the details but I think most people (including myself) only know the legend, etc. If the script is of high quality and the director a first-rate one, then it could be something special. At least, I feel as though Anne would find the humanity and depth in Judy and not just play it as mimicry. (Then again, I thought Baz would be able to pull off "old fashioned epic" so I've been wrong before.) But having seen RCM my interest in anything Anne is in (barring Bride Wars) has shot up considerably.)<BR/><BR/>It's not that "biopic is bad", it's that the industry is astonishingly lazy. After all, biography takes up a huge section of any bookstore but I don't see anyone complaining about that. it has to do with skill and Nat you're right, most are done with the same lazy template, or paint-by-numbers style. Just as most westerns or comic movies or horror films are wretched but it's those exceptions that make you hope that the next one will be special, too.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40379839184728874682009-03-24T10:57:00.000-04:002009-03-24T10:57:00.000-04:00And finally, Judy Garland.

Does my point make any sense? When it seems like there's no reason left to make the film, one can assume money or awards fishing or some combination of the two. I really don't want to have to associate Anne Hathaway with an Oscar win for such a performance. Continue to seek out the interesting original characters Anne...you'll be a better actress for it.</I><BR/><BR/>Gerald Clarke's book is supposedly more of an in-depth treatment of Judy Garland's life than what's ever been written before. This is the same guy that wrote the source material for "Capote" (2005). If this film turns out like that one, then I think this venture will be well-worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-69953051508311322932009-03-24T10:54:00.000-04:002009-03-24T10:54:00.000-04:00I can't wait to see Anne Hathaway tackle Judy Garl...I can't wait to see Anne Hathaway tackle Judy Garland.
