Why is Franco an evil?

...i 'm nnot saying he's that bad or anything its just crowe(..who i think is afine director)...should get more"upper tier" type talent and nnot have to "settle" ffor  replacements mentoined above......nnnone of thodse names strike out for me really......most poeple should lobby themselvees to work for crowe......

but i've lost hope in this since dunst was cast....

A SECRET:  when watching spider--man ..i was so scared that dunst would ruin it for me....she had the same efffect on me as i was watching ganngs of ny and i wsas scareed that diaz would ruin the film ...but both of them didnn't but thats nnot that big of a deal as for the case w/spider-mann since  the film itself is pure "orvilliann" it can suffffer from bad actinbg and onnscreen cheessynness....

Ashton Kutcher was reportedly dropped from Cameron Crowe's new movie because the director was dissatisfied with his acting skills.

He was dropped, this is completely true.

According to Variety, Orlando Bloom has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Ashton Kutcher in director Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown.

Bloom is in talks to star opposite Kirsten Dunst in the drama, portraying a suicidal young man who returns to his small Kentucky hometown of Elizabethtown following the death of his father.

The "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" star would not be able to start on the film until he completes work toplining on director Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, a Crusades-era epic that begins lensing this month in Morocco for 20th Century Fox.

after big fish and cold mountain i am worried about foreigners playing southerners convincingly.  the accent is such a tough thing to get right without overdoing it, or having your real voice slip out.

i want made mention in macs changing names

I was just thinking about something I first thought about when I read bits and pieces of the script review.  Not sure if it's anything really significant, but it could be.  Is it just me, or does anyone else see the resemblance to Godard's Breathless in this long phone conversation scene and the bedroom scene that takes up about a third of Godard's film?  I don't know, it's 3 AM and I'm resisting sleep, and that's just something to think about.  I don't really think too highly of Crowe in general, but this film does seem to have promise.  Of course, I thought Vanilla Sky had promise before I realized it was Abre los ojos, and looked what happened there.  But we'll see.

he made a flawed, but still better than the original, film with a lot of interesting ideas?

i think VS is nearly perfect

Pretty much.  Vanilla Sky and Abre los ojos were pretty much decent films that could've been amazing ones.  But some parts of Vanilla Sky, remember, were vastly inferior to Abre los ojos.  The Americanization (bastardization), and the ending in general, especially.  It really rubbed me the wrong way, especially after finally seeing Abre los ojos.  But that's beside the point.

Yes, Crowe referencing Godard.  Anyone?

[Banky]

I think that Richard Roeper described it best by saying that Open Your Eyes is more like the acoustic version and Vanilla Sky is the full orchestrated version.

i agree with this

Elizabethtown
Jane Fonda is apparently back in talks to play Orlando's mother who has a mid-life crisis of sorts upon the death of her husband. She had the offer early on and passed because she wanted something meatier. Looks like this is serious.
