I'd like to know if John Malkovitch, Christian Bale, ****a le Boeuf,
Nicole Kidman, would make the movie better, or if they should use
unknowns. For some reason, after Elizabeth:TGA I just can't imagine
wanted to watch Kate Blanchett in another red-haired role. Seriously,
that movie is really shallow. I always find Kidman interesting. So
Leto: maybe it should be someone other than Malkovich as Nicole and JM
were in a movie together that was really bad. (****trait of a Woman).
Are there no fatherly actors around? What about someone from
Stargate ;) ?
