crumbs 14,315 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I wonder if Spielberg will shoot the whole film in Italian, to be historically accurate? He decided to keep most of Schindler's List in English so he could better judge the performances (as he didn't really speak German). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 If that were the case, the main roles would've been played by Italian actors. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,315 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Oscar Isaac has dropped out of the film, in addition to the film being postponed indefinitely (early 2018 shoot, before Spielberg starts Indy V?) Quote Oscar Isaac is one of the industry’s most sought after actors at the moment. It was reported that Steven Spielberg had cast him in his upcoming project “The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara,” a project that had the makings of a true Oscar player. A source has revealed that Isaac has dropped out of the project due to “personal reasons. http://www.awardscircuit.com/2017/03/11/exclusive-oscar-isaac-drops-kidnapping-edgardo-mortara/ Seems like Spielberg's struggle to find a child actor for the lead role, Isaac dropping out for family reasons (his mother passed away in February), and The Post landing in his lap with Streep & Hanks available all combined to make delaying Mortara the best option. Unfortunately I get the feeling Mortara will join Robopocalypse as another 'almost' movie that never sees the light of day. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,315 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I vaguely recall Spielberg eyeing Isaac for a role in Montezuma, too. He's pretty in demand between his film and theater commitments, so I reckon the boat might have sailed on this project. Of course, if anyone can make schedules work, it's Spielberg.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Would a brilliant up and coming actor like Isaac be willing to waste his time on someone like Spielberg, who's clearly past it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 She needs less demanding roles. Hollywood has severely overestimated the range of her acting ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 She's not without talent. She just needs something more "raw" maybe, something that doesn't scream "I'M JENNIFER LAWRENCE!" when she appears on screen... I enjoyed her performance in Winter's Bone, before her massive fame.

KK 3,307 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Indeed. Two of Hollywood's most "loveable" stars... Chris Pratt is the one I want to punch less in the face, but that's probably because he hasn't been around as long. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, don't do that... He was also fine in ZERO DARK THIRTY, IMO -- even if the role is relatively small. Never had an issue with him myself. Big fan of PARKS & RECREATION; maybe that's why. I also like Jennifer Lawrence when she's "on". And she's gorgeous, so I can enjoy her in a superficial way even if the role is inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Pratt was good in Zero Dark Thirty, but he barely spoke... I haven't seen him in enough dramatic roles, but he was great in Parks and Rec and he works in Guardians. It's why I don't mind him as much. He hasn't exhausted his charm like Lawrence has.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Based on comments from Meryl Streep in this Q&A about the The Post, Spielberg was deep into real preproduction on this movie. I hope that means it could come out next year. Quote Streep: [Producer] Amy Pascal sent me Liz Hannah’s script, and I just loved it. I didn’t think that it could get made. And then Steven stepped in, and everything came together in like twenty minutes…Steven was prepping another movie in Italy. He had his whole crew there. Everything was set up, sets built, ready to go. Is that right? Hanks: Yeah, the role was for a 7-year-old kid or a 13-year-old kid. Streep: And I think he had to be bilingual in Italian and Hebrew. Whitford: (Jokingly) I was up for that. (Everyone laughs) Streep: And they couldn’t find the little boy. [For the film The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara.] http://www.slashfilm.com/the-post-qa/ THis of course assumes that they're able to cast the boy.
