Where doctors are often played by women in their 20's. Especially in action movies. Let me remind you that Nicole Kidman, Anna Kendrick, Uma Thurman, Denise Richards and Jennifer Love Hewitt all played doctors well before they were 30.<br />And with a 49 year old man in the lead, that usually translates to a 30 year old leading lady.<br />And as for Harris' Bond role. It us recurring. If she is in the next one, it'll be her third.<br /><br />Anyway. Rosamund Pike is a good guess. She was too old to star in Gone Girl, too. Seems to be a thing with her.

Yes there are actors who are seriously involved in the development of material. However, in many cases the producer credit for the actor is simply a negotiating point/ego salve after the actually producing work has already been done. "We'll pay you a million dollars". "No I want two million dollars". "We'll give a million fifty thousand and a producers credit". "OK I'll make the movie".D Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942398272041235746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-43406600074019461762018-02-21T05:57:57.008-08:002018-02-21T05:57:57.008-08:00Rachael Weisz?Rachael Weisz?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121629830176951240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-69945645843340695382018-02-21T05:04:32.507-08:002018-02-21T05:04:32.507-08:00Pike and Negga (depending on Pike's BF/Husband...Pike and Negga (depending on Pike's BF/Husband) are the only two suggestions that work, of all those pitched.

First and foremost, there's the whole marketing machine in place to get a movie even noticed and sort of position it for a specific awards season (this applies even to foreign language movies). Productions without serious money to spend on professional marketing alone, like indie productions, will only get recognized if they meet a specific need, like that for diversity or a specific topic, and/or have become so popular that they cannot be ignored (this is probably the case with Moolight and Get Out). About specific roles: the surest ways to get nominated have always been to make yourself ugly and/or play a "difficult" character; and - until this year - ideally, have the Weinstein machine behind you (JLaw and your string of Oscars nominations, I'm looking at you). Recently it's also about diversity and inclusivity. Take all these factors together and you have the long list of nominations and wins which make you wonder if these awards mean anything any more. This year the politics of awards giving has gone a step further yet, so that no matter how good you may have been, you're not getting nominated if you've been publicly accused of sexual misconduct. <br />I could go on and on, but to make it short: there are some great actors, many poor excuses for actors, and a whole bunch of decent actors out there. But most film awards are not about the quality of one's work any more.<br />I never understood the nominations ad awards for kids, though, but that's just me.<br /><br />Oh, I like the Harris and Negga guesses, but Harris plays "Dr. Caldwell" in Rampage, a genetics expert, and 42 should definitely not be too old for a scientist, even by Hollywood standards (but maybe I'm being naive again ;)) She also has another film in post-production and the next Bond movie announced, so I'm not sure Rampage can be called her most recent role. Meanwhile, Negga has only Ad Astra listed right now, and it seems that nothing specific is known about her role there, so maybe she's playing a someone younger, indeed. I vote Negga.Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187132103550125482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-25444393452361917622018-02-21T01:56:19.174-08:002018-02-21T01:56:19.174-08:00Salma Hayek sprung to mind.
