Title: Clare Danes to play Temple Grandin in movie!
Post by: Tom/Mutate on August 19, 2008, 02:06:14 AM
I don't get this - Clare Danes is a babe, I'd crack one off over her.  How can she play an ugly old woman?  People will think all autistic women are babes like Danes, when the truth is far more horrific.  She looks absolutely nothing like her, is this for real?

Because no one would go see the movie if you had to look at this for an hour and a half:

couldn't they just not put the camera on her face, but just have it on her pussy and ass, and have a voice talking about autism while we look at her pussy and ass...why arent I working for Paramount pictures?

They needed to hire a "real" actor, not some autistic spaz to make a movie. Movie sets are absolutely insane.

I had the opportunity to work in movie set building on a location shoot once (Pieces of the Heart Places in the Heart, something like that, with "Gidget") and even ME, with all my other experience, self-controls, blocking-skills, etc, had a rough time with all the distractions and I was easily overwhelmed by all the activity.

If I was an investor, backing a movie project, my money would go to the "good bet."

I knew little about Clare Danes, before I searched, I am always impressed when I see someone who has made it on their own, instead of being a second or third generation actor who owes most of their success to Daddy's or Mommy's previous successes.

Well at least that's a more positive stereotype than people that think all autistic women look like the back end of a bus, totally false, I've seen hundreds of aspergers beauties.

I think that they look a little bit like each other, at least their eyes are similar.  Maybe Claire Danes will wear make-up or prosthetics to look more like Temple Grandin.

I don't think she will they picked her because she's attractive and want people to go see the movie.  Sure they will dress her down some but Temple Grandin has a more androgynous look than she can pull off

Seriously, if they can make Charlize Theron look this much like Aileen Wuornos, they could probably make Claire Danes look a lot more like Temple Grandin than she does.

You may be right that they won't even try, though.  Josh Hartnett looked nothing like Jerry Newport in "Mozart and the Whale," did he?

I met Jerry Newport he was supposed to be younger than when I met him but I don't think Josh Hartnett will ever look like him even in 15-20 years

I think that in this case, the actors look nothing like the real people they represent:

Mary and Jerry Newport:

I agree that, unfortunately, audiences don't tend to want to see movies with 'unattractive' people in them (American audiences are especially bad about this, I think).  I'd have to wait and see the movie, though, to see how important her appearance ends up being to the plot/point/authenticity of it.

Seriously, if they can make Charlize Theron look this much like Aileen Wuornos, they could probably make Claire Danes look a lot more like Temple Grandin than she does.

 :laugh:  Yeah, that's got to be pretty much the gold standard for miracle-of-makeup (outside of scifi films).

I knew what jerry Newport pretty much looked like when I saw M&TW, but I was willing to be lost in just sort of the allegorical story and not assume it would be like a home movie (especially since I had heard it wasn't totally true to life anyway).  Gotta admit though I wanted to laugh a little when Josh Hartnett was acting all worried about not being 'attractive' (I don't think they should have kept that line in there- there's suspension of disbelief and then there's forgetting to make the dialogue cohese with what's on screen).

I don't mind who would play Temple Grandin in a movie. I just hope they get her life and character captured realistically.

I liked Josh Hartnett in Mozart and the Whale, I thought he was cute. :)

I never thought Josh Hartnett was hot. He's just normal looking IMO.

It's Hollywood. they like to use chicks for real people. Like in Lonely Hearts, they used a hot chick to play Martha Beck but in real life she was fat. But in the movie she was all thin and more attractive.


I also think Temple is unattractive but she looked cute when she was a kid but I don't think she is ugly.

Temple is a a scientist and she's very intelligent and I think she's great. Though she does remind me of those Goblins from Oblivion.

Claire Danes is playing Paul Mc Cartney?

In some ways I think it is funny that they would choose someone with model good looks to play Temple.

I think it speaks greater volumes of the audience than the filmakers. The filmakers are the smart ones here.

Maybe 'porning up' Autism will indirectly get more people to take notice of it which I think can only be a good thing.

The thing I appreciated about Snowcake however, was that there was a background love story with a hot babe, which left Sigourney free to depict truth more accurately in her role.

I don't why you guys feel the need to rip on Temple just because of her looks. I have read her book "Thinking in Pictures" and have watched her give a presentation. She seems like a very intelligent woman with a great sense of humuor. I think it's lame you guys rip on her just b/c of her looks. :finger:

Because she's a woman, and women are supposed to be pretty.

If it were a man who'd written that book, and designed those slaughterhouses, and they were making a movie about him... his looks, nor the looks of the person playing wouldn't have been mentioned.

They would have been closer to the mark if they used a guy to play Temple, at first I thought it was a guy and was confused as to why they would use a pretty girl to play and man with AS.?  And I thought, must just be a hollywood thing.   my bad.

I liked Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell in Mozart.... I thought they did a very good job of being AS without descending into parody or overacting which would be easy to do. And I think Claire Danes will do an excellent job as Temple Grandin, although not much chance for nude scenes--unless Temple gets naked before she gets in her "squeeze" machine... :lol:

My daughter's school has one of her squeeze machines.  The kids get into it fully clothed.

So, no Claire Danes nude scenes.  Sorry to disappoint you.
