Amy Adams is Lois Lane: - Part 4

[--Zero-Ethic--]

Yeah, dark hair, blue eyes and pale skin are pretty common phenotypic traits in Ireland actually. Not necessarily jet black hair but medium to dark brown

You just summed me up in two lines! :P

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Here is Courtney Cox when she was a lot younger. No way does she resemble Kidder -- at least not back then.

That's Lois from the animated series come to life right there!

Huh? I've never played dungeons and dragons.

Dungeons and Dragons is a game where you make up your own character and run around doing whatever you want.

Amy isn't making up her own Lois Lane. The script has already been written and she's agreed to play it. They're not going to rewrite it just so Amy can be a sweetie pumpkin.

Completely disagree.

I think Lois Lane is one of the most complicated female characters to play. Because she's kind of a little bit of everything all carefully balanced into one. She's a bit of b****, she's spontaneous, impulsive, take no prisoners, all out for number one, competative. She's also kind, passionate, with a strong sense of personal morality and disdain towards injustice. And she is intelligent, witty, sarcastic, tongue in cheek. And she is both feminine and sexy when she needs to be. And she's secretly emotionally vulnerable.

But how easy a role is to play entirely depends on how much importance the character is given within the film.

If Goyer/Snyder attempt to capture the majority of the Lois I just described, without taking up all the screen time with her characterisation, it will be a very difficult role.

If they don't bother trying to capture much of that, and just have her be a one dimensional love interest, then sure, it'll be easy.

lol; well while i wouldn't describe Lois to necessarily be bit of a ***** (more like her just coming off very strong onto others), I do agree that her character is not a easy one to portray.

She's not like most female leads as she does have a range of emotions that needs to be incorporated into her portrayal. The actress portraying her as to be able to show a very tough and strong exterior, mixed with that vulnerable and compassionate side that the woman has.

Even back in the day, Jennifer Aniston was a better actress, and at least in my opinion much prettier. Cox has the dark hair but light skin, Aniston has hair that compliments her skin color. Cox has the paper thin lips and Aniston has softer thicker lips which make her overall seem more feminine. Right on that popular show there was a better actress. They could have just as easily focused their attention on Aniston. I think the reason why at least it began that all the attention would be on Cox (instead of Aniston or MOVIE stars) is that Cox resembles or resembled Margot Kidder.

Look at the shape of the face, the contour of the lips, the smile, the defined jaw-line. Margot Kidder was just uglier than Courtney Cox, but they definitely resemble each other.

And it isn't just me who thinks they look like each other:

difference is Courtney still looks good when she got older in her 40's kiddler did not

 

[Sawyer]

And I'm sure plastic surgery had nothing to do with that...

 

[Dark Raven]

Not sure why there are all these comparisons between Cox and Kidder. I think Robin Tunney of the Mentalist has more similarities, and even now could've made a good Lois, given that we've gotten an older Lois in Amy Adams:

Hahahahahahaha Kidder never looked good hahahahahahahaha

 

[Rodrigo90]

Cox was a perfect choice back in the day. But did anyone notice a change in her performance when she was playing Monica? She was so sophisticated and serious in the early Friends (definitely Lois material) But a few seasons later, she was loud and boisterous. What the hell happened?

All the pictures you've shown of Courtney Cox were taken well after her prime. If you look at the image I posted earlier, it's clear that Cox is far more attractive than Aniston. (Dark hair compliments fair skin just fine, and Cox isn't extremely pale anyhow.) And how do you know that Aniston's lips are softer? Do you know her personally? That's a ridiculous statement.

As for the resemblance to Kidder, I don't see much of one specifically when Cox was younger. See image directly below:

Her looks have obviously changed somewhat since then.

Anyway, this is an Amy Adams thread. I was just making a quick point about Cox when she was in her prime. If you want to continue bashing her or talking about Aniston (??), this isn't the place.

Yeah, I don't know what to make of that. I think she tried to reinvent herself so as to remain relevant in the industry; and that's fine I guess.

Hahahahahahaha Kidder never looked good hahahahahahahaha

Yeah, even in her twenties, Kidder had a somewhat geriatric look to her.

 

[Zachhelms]

This is how I hope they have Amy look.

Kidder in her prime was the type of women who looked good every now and then. But she was never a natural beauty.

[Wheels]

The way some people act around here, you'd Amy looked like Bea Arthur or something.

 

[Zachhelms]

That looks old to you?
That is one of the best pictures I have seen of her.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I have to admit, she does look much better there.

Although, I'd like to see her with darker locks, she certainly does look great here. Good find.

The problem with people using 'the Fighter' as an example of Amy playing a tough woman is that Amy played Charlene as more stoically tough. Like she's trying her hardest to come across as a tough woman but underneath you can see she's quite fragile and vulnerable.
The thing about Lois is, she has to be funny and witty while being strong at the same time. The difference with Charlene and Lois is that Charlene is constantly trying to be strong and comes off as a bit cold while Lois IS a strong person but also has a lot of warmth and compassion underneath.


So far I'm not sure Amy has played anyone who has warmth but also has a tough sassy attitude. The closest I've seen so far is probably in Night of the Museum. Although her Amelia Earheart portrayal was more of a cartoony portrayal whereas Lois is more a layered real person.

I think it's gonna be really interesting to see what Amy brings to the performance since I don't think she's ever played anyone quite like Lois.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

People need to stop judging other roles to see that warmth or other stuff. Amy Adams is a three time Oscar nominated actress. She'll act the part that they give her because she's a good actress. Did anybody see The Joker in any of Heath Ledger's early roles. I sure didn't. There's a reason why they call it acting. She'll act the role perfectly fine.
