Catherine Zeta Jones Wants To Play Susan Boyle
APR 29, 2009 AT 01:03 PM
Ok, I can't say this is the casting choice that would have popped into my head for the role of Susan Boyle, but hey, why not?
Catherine Zeta Jones is supposedly desperate to land the part of the singer in a film about her life story. The director of Titanic, James Cameron, is also said to be interested in the project.
A source from Britain's Got Talent says,
'This
is one of many requests we have had to play her [Miss Boyle], for movie
deals and for stories of her life.'All these people are coming out and
want to be associated with her. She is the biggest thing in the world.
It is mental.'
Who would you want to see cast as Susan Boyle?

Good role for her. They are close to the same age!
Get real ... Drew Barrymore is the top pic for this role. Catherine ... you already picked your role ... Mike Douglas's kids mom ... how's that working out ... not so good ... but alas ... you are not at the caliber to play Susan Boyle.
For the love of god...talk about a sublime exercise in point missing. Don't get me wrong, I like Caherine Zeta-Jone a whole lot, she's a great actress, and what I'm about to say isn't directed at her. However:
One of the major reasons that Susan Boyle has caused such a stir is that she's a reminder of the fact that women do not need to be attractive to have mind blowing talent. Yet Hollywood has a long history of portraying every female lead as unrealistically attractive, even historical personages like Jane Austen who are invariably played by beautiful actresses who look nothing at all like the actual individuals. It's bad enough that brilliant actresses like Kathy Bates spent years being passed over by less talented but prettier starlets, but casting someone so renowned for her looks in the role of a movie about how looks aren't everything is truly preposterous.
So I would have picked the lady who played the lead role in "Misery" She fits the role to tee. How about it people? WHat do you think?
(I also wrote the comment beginning "For the love of god")
Yep, that's who I was talking about actually, Kathy Bates. She'd be outstanding
Dress her down and put some weight on her frizz up her hair....and wella Susan Boyle
Kathy Bates, no doubt! She is a brilliant actress and fits the role perfectly.
