After a tumultuous casting process, director and writer Alfonso Cuarón has found an actor who’s brave enough to take on the male lead in his film Gravity. According to Coming Soon, George Clooney will star opposite fellow Oscar winner Sandra Bullock in the sci-fi film that’s gone through more actors than we can count!
We’re really beginning to think that Alfonso Cuaron’s latest film Gravity is cursed. Why won’t actors stay on board with the project? First Angelina Jolie was attached to the movie then she bailed, followed by Natalie Portman who also jumped ship, and through it all Downey held on for dear life as the male lead. Now according to a report from THR, he’s decided to leave the film as well.
Alfonso Cuaron’s upcoming film Gravity continues to have a hard time with casting. The biggest shake up to date has been the merry-go-round of actresses who have been attached to play the lead role. We’ve gone from Angelina Jolie to Natalie Portman to now Sandra Bullock. The one element of consistency came from the lead male actor, Robert Downey Jr. who now according to a report from Deadline, might be existing the project. Damn! Damn!! Damn!!!
Alfonso Cuarón has had nothing but bad luck with his developing space film, Gravity. The lead role has bounced from actress to actress, and it’s on the move again. Originally, the part was written with Angelina Jolie in mind but the actress opted not to take it, then Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively were mentioned as possible replacements, before Natalie Portman agreed to star. Unfortunately, Portman is no longer attached and according to Deadline, Sandra Bullock might take her place.
Finally, an actress we can believe in this part! If you have no idea what we’re talking about, let us get you up to speed. Director Alfonso Cuaron and his son penned the screenplay for a sci-fi film called Gravity, which was supposed to be a star vehicle for Angelina Jolie. The production hit a snag when the actress passed not once but twice on the film leaving it without a female lead. Weeks ago there were rumors that Scarlett Johannson and Blake Lively were possible replacements, but according to THR, a suitable and talented actress might take over instead — Natalie Portman.
It’s the battle of superhero vixens for a role in Alfonso Cuaron’s upcoming film Gravity. According to THR, Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively are both up for the lead in the film but only one of them can walk away with the part (dun, dun, dun!). They’re duking it out for a chance to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. who’s currently attached. The project was previously set up as a vehicle for Angelina Jolie but when she opted out, the director began his search for another actress to fill her shoes.
The Starz cable network has just killed off two of their shows, “Gravity” and the beloved “Party Down“. The latter of the two centered on a group of struggling actors in Los Angeles who worked in the catering business to make ends meet. It was co-created by Paul Rudd and Rob Thomas and gained cult status over its two year run. Unfortunately, after losing several key castmembers and crappy ratings the show’s been officially cut.
A few weeks ago, we learned that Angelina Jolie had no desire to star in a sequel to the 2008 film Wanted because she was interested in a project by Alfonso Cuaron entitled, Gravity. It seemed like a promising film for the versatile actress but it wasn’t meant to be. She’s no longer attached and according to Deadline Hollywood, Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to star instead.
Angelina Jolie has been a busy bee lately and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. At the moment she’s in Europe filming The Tourist alongside Johnny Depp, and after that her next project is Wanted 2, oh wait, no it isn’t. The actress just killed any sequel dreams fans may have had regarding her return for another film because according to Vulture she’s taking on Gravity instead.
