  • Yeah, now we can relax. For, what, how long? How many days before they announce they’ve hired Taylor Swift for Viper?

• That’s disappointing.

  This is a mistake for both sides.

  • Agree. Biel is in that tricky area where one could argue she’s likeable/hot and IS a box office attraction, or she is NOT a box office attraction and one could easily name 5 actresses with bigger names.

    IMO, she is great for the role and the failure seems like it was mainly a $$$ dispute. I think her agent should’ve accepted anything half-way reasonable. If the movie is a success, it would really put her on the map.

• She already denied it AT Comic-Con. Not very surprising.

• Good!

  Now go find an actress people take seriously please.

  • Right– because a Wolverine movie needs an Oscar-winning female lead.

    I’d bet the bank you were one of the posters over the weekend typing “THAT’S AWESOME! SHE’S HAWT!!”

    • Or any Oscar winning actors in general. Its a superhero/comic book film for crying out loud.

    • They actually just need someone who can act.

• I wonder what happened? She’s kind of a blah actress anyway, so it’s just as well.

• Good. Would have been bad casting.

• Oh thank god, what a horrible decision that would have been.

  • It was a bad choice but if that was their first/latest choice it’s going downhill from there.

• sounds like another case of “bad management messing up a deal”

• Sounds like she wants a role in a real Marvel Universe movie…

• Thank God. Good riddance! Because I was seriously considering to slip Wolverine. Can’t stand her lame face. Looks the same in every role. She is always boring and don’t have any emotions. And I probably will miss on Total Recall. Because of the actors. Colin looks very bad in trailers. He has puppy eyes all the time and nothing else. And Jessica Biel looks like Jessica Biel in any previous role. And then there is that Kate-something actress. Who is also boring one-face-expression actress. Movie will bomb because of bad casting.

  I wonder was it that time again when actress goes to press and announce deal as fact when in reality producers only think about it? Like it was with that no-name actress that leaked to press that she is cast in Hunger Games and we didn’t heard anything about it for 2 weeks now? Was it Jessica’s Team that leaked that she is cast?

  • I don’t think Total Recall will bomb and if it does, it won’t be because of Jessica, Kate BECKINSALE, or Colin.

    The hate in you is obvious and just like your F in English 101. If you’re going to criticize actors for being bad actors, the least you can do is not write like like an uneducated fool when writing.

• She’d make a good Black Cat in the new Spiderman movies. Physically she’s built just like the character. I’d like to see her in that costume.

• Jessica Biel loss is Svetlana Khodchenkova gain. Will love to see this Russian actress in The Wolverine.
