Jennifer Lawrence being cast does smack a little of stunt casting, or at least 'It Girl' casting, but I'm not annoyed by it since I like Lawrence. I'm guessing you didn't care for Winter's Bone, but she blew me away in it so I'm looking forward to seeing her in the role, even though it's likely she only got on casting director's radar because of the Oscar nom.
Fonseca is really the only other person on that list that I would have been excited to see in the role anyway.
It's like they're doing all they can to distance themselves from any Twilight franchise comparisons
If I was them, I'd try to do that too. I almost didn't read the first book because of all of the Twilight comparisons I'd heard, and when I read it I found that the books were NOTHING alike.
Now, I have no idea whether the movie will be crap or not, and if the writing, directing etc. are crap in the movie, Jennifer Lawrence and the "Oscar Nominee" billing they can give her won't mean a thing. But, I can't blame them for wanting to try and distance themselves from Twilight.
I'm just hoping the movie is good.
screams cheap and tacky.
It is kind of tacky and obvious, but that's Hollywood. I'll probably roll my eyes when I see the commercials with 'oscar nominee' slapped all over them, but if she's good in the role I don't really see that it matters.
I guess I also feel a bit bad for Lawrence at this point, getting shit on by everyone for things that are completely out of her control. Before the Oscars, everyone was blowing sunshine up her ass, and now it's like people would slap her for breathing.
