Amy Adams is Lois Lane: - Part 7

[LordofhouseEl]

Cavill is the main character in this movie. he is playing superman in a superman movie. its her job when promoting the movie to say that the actor worked his ass off.

and he did work his ass off because for 10 years he is trying to become a movie star in hollywood.

its an insult that she said that he worked his ass off. of course he did. its obvious.

he trained for months,he had an accent couch and i would bet an acting teacher too. he also had a guy teaching how to move. like all actors have for superhero movies.

he is 29 years old and is in a summer superhero movie playing f... superman. of course he worked his ass off.

is there any actor who was lazy durring preproduction and durring production when playing a known superhero? Brandon Routh? he did everything like Cavill ,Tobey,Bana, Hemsworth... and all the other actors.

Yeah its awesome how Cavill worked his ass of.

 

[Lily Adler]

How dare they point out the obvious.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Amy Adams rocks so I can't wait to see her interpretation of Lois Lane.

 

[The Shield]

the ''i was a nerd when i was young'' story when promoting a superhero movie?

i know that i am way to many times to negative. but are you f... kidding me ??????????

Dude... Have you seen her old movies? Nerd Central. I'm going to go ahead and believe her word for it. lol I don't understand why just bc they are an actor nothing they say can be believed? As an actor and spending time around other actors and growing up with actors and artist in general, I must say a lot of us are pretty much geeks, weird, or half crazy. Especially as kids.

The 'worked his ass off' stuff actually has me a bit worried.

It's like no one is saying 'He did some amazing work, really brilliant acting'... they are just saying 'He tried really hard'.

Well we've only had two people (Michael and Amy) comment on Henry's performance in the film, and Michael was the one that recently mentioned on how he believed that Henry did a great job playing Superman to the point where Michael never once thought that he was acting with someone that was "acting" as Superman.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

That is true

Eh, even if they said 'He did some amazing work, really brilliant acting' it would be meaningless. Of course they're going to come up with different ways to say Cavill is awesome. I'll wait for the trailer before I become excited or worried.

I think we should take qualitative statements about their movies or performances from actors (at least during production and after debut) with a grain of salt because they are (naturally) often biased and always under contract to say only merry jolly things about them.

Exactly. It's not as if they are going to come out and candidly state their sincerest opinions of his acting abilities. Their job is to promote the film and it's lead actor as much as possible.

Just the same, it's good to read that she is a fan of Kidder and that the earlier movies affected her. Good to see she will be reimagining the character, and well, let's hope for the best.

So how come nobody's talking about these interviews with Amy in which she refers that Shannon is terrifying and that she only had a couple of scenes with him?

 

[The Shield]

I was wondering the same thing but I just figured their exhausted of trying to stretch out stuff that really doesn't have much meat on it.

 

[Micromind]

As the Shannon told The Daily Blam:

"I always felt like I was in a scene with Superman. I never looked at him and thought that’s just somebody trying to be Superman — he felt like the real deal."

"I really admire Henry’s work ethic… I really haven’t seen anybody in this business work quite that hard. Obviously it’s a tremendous responsibility, and an intimidating one, to wear that suit. But he had the confidence and the work ethic to accomplish it."

Positive quotes from co-actors are thought as some kind of movie promotion strategy, but they could be telling the truth.

for example -

Interview Marion Collitard -

 

[terry78]

Well, nobody is ever going to badmouth their co-stars....while filming is going on.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Unless you're James Franco...

I believe Shannon and Adams however. Afterall, Oldman and JGL praised the hell out of Hathaway. So it's not always a cover.

 

[Project862006]

i still remember Columbus short bashing whiteout before it came out saying it's nothing special lol

Critics are praising Amy’s performance. Trouble with the Curve.

"Eastwood, though charmingly grumpy and brimming with vitriol, steps back in “Curve” and lets Adams take center stage. The actress, also currently co-starring in “The Master,” hits her role out of the park. At first we see her as a flustered and bitter workaholic. As the film progresses she transforms into a vulnerable, but angry, daughter, before inhabiting the returned innocence of a young girl in love with baseball. Watching Adams drop her guard and join Eastwood in the love of the game is a real treat. Between her performance here and in “The Master,” it won’t be long before she’s an Oscar winner."


"Of course the movie is sentimental. A fairy tale? Yes, it’s that too. Satisfying? Yep. The key, I think, is the restaurant scene between Adams and Eastwood where she confronts him about how she was, and wasn’t, raised by Gus. It’s played by both actors with minimal fuss and maximum honesty."

"With her wary eyes and guarded demeanor, Adams really nails the hurt in her role, even if the script ultimately lets her down."

"Eastwood is (no surprise) pitch-perfect as curmudgeonly sage, but it's Adams who surprisingly, mightily stands up to the icon, mixing grit and vulnerability like a champ."

"Amy Adams’ performance as Mickey, a 33-year-old attorney on the rise at a major Atlanta law firm, is one of the film’s home runs."


"This surely proves, as if it were ever in doubt, that Adams is a pantheon-level talent to be reckoned with, for I do not imagine going toe-to-toe with Eastwood is easy, especially when the man is in such transcendent form. This is the sort of gruff and feisty part Eastwood could play in his sleep, but he still gives the role his all, reminding us that beneath the icon remains an utterly magnetic, impeccable performer. In even the darkest of moments, Eastwood conveys a clear and innate humanity, one we connect with or find ourselves touched by no matter what our age. That is the mark of an all-time great actor, and Adams’ ability to not only keep up with him, but to stand on equally resonant footing, proves that few are better at their craft."

"A gaggle of first-rate character actors trails Mr. Eastwood from Turner Field in Atlanta to the rural bars and ballparks, and the star knows how to step aside and let them work. He also has the good sense to realize that, much as we may adore him, we’d sometimes rather spend time with Ms. Adams, who somehow grows tougher, funnier, scarier and more charming with every role. In the larger scheme of things “Trouble With the Curve” may be an exhibition game, with nothing much at stake, but Ms. Adams brings the heat. She swings for the fence. Snags the line drive, tags the runner and makes the throw to the plate. Find your own metaphor."

Between that and the Master, she's on fire this year.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, she didn't have a whole lot of screen time in The Master (less than I expected, anyway), but she really rocked it.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Adams was one of the highlights of The Master, arguably who the title is referring to. Certain moment that takes one seriously ****ing fearless actor to do... and she did.

Agree x100

I read an interview for The Fighter a while back and the director said Adams was so willing to break the Disney typecast that she said she's willing to do anything on film. One part of The Master certainly demonstrates this.

Again, I think she's a good choice for Lois, but I'll wait to heep the accolades.

We could have gotten some really interesting scenes if the director was a weirdo or pervert!!

Anyways, it seems like a Lois-type role in Trouble with the curve. A professional workaholic type woman who at first comes across as stuck up/ bitter then we see her vulnerability later. Still, I wish we could hear something about her Lois role, all we hear about is her other projects. Afterall, it is going to be released next summer.

Well she's already got two movies that come out now to talk about, so it's not all that surprising. But considering The Master (and probably Amy herself) is pretty much a shoo-in to be a major awards contender, she should be hitting the campaign circuit in a couple of months, meaning plenty more interviews. If everything goes as expected, there should be a whole other wave of interviews for that in January once the GG and Oscar nominations come out (and many of those interviews tend to be a lot more in-depth than the talk show variety). I'd imagine that's when the MoS talk will really start to creep into the interviews. It'll help that we should also have the trailer by then, too, so she'll hopefully also be getting a lot more questions about it.

 

[charl_huntress]

After seeing The Master, I also think it's quite possible she'll be up from some awards and considering Joaquim's involvement and knowing the award folks love him then it is veyr possible she may win.

This give me more hope for the popularity of Lois Lane and that (hopefully) the directors won't screw her up.

Still, I'm reserving judgement.
