If he was a real pimp he would bang her sister on Rachel's coffin.

But once you recast that character then it doesn't feel like the same character anymore. So it's almost like a different character again, if that makes any sense.

p.s. I wasn't one of those people complaining.

No worries, I know you weren't.

I dunno...if the character is written the same, I suppose I can't see the problem.

Debatable. I think most people would say they preferred Jodie Foster.

That´s a difference situation for a number of reasons. First, Foster´s performance in SOTL is considered iconic, not the same as Katie, and also Hannibal as a whole was considered an inferior movie to SOTL.

Since we´re on Hannibal, what about Hannibal himself? Brian Cox played him in Manhunter but it was with Anthony Hopkins in SOTL that the role became iconic.

To quote my earlier post on this:

...it's not like Katie Holmes set some standard for the next actress to live up to. She was terrible. Whoever they cast will undoubtedly outshine Holmes, so it's not like we need be concerned in a drop of performance quality.

I doubt most people are going to walk out of THE DARK KNIGHT and think to themselves, "Hey, I miss Katie Holmes."

Box-office smash.

Didn't know she had a sister. She has a mother...



...Oh thats sick.

 

[Mr. Socko]

She has a father too.

True, but I don't think that many people saw Manhunter going into SOTL. Plus, Manhunter is not even a part of that trilogy anymore.

 

[Crooklyn]

She has a father too.

...and this thread has jumped the shark.

 

[Mr. Socko]

WTF is MANHUNTER!?!

Great example.

And her cousin is an oompa loompa

Can you imagine Bane bangin an oompa loompa

It's an adaptation of the book RED DRAGON by director Michael Mann, and the predecessor to SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Brian Cox stars in the role Hopkins made immortal.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Great example.

Except no one in the f**kin world knows what the manhunter is let alone actually care about it.

What year.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Not completely, since Manhunter is not a part of that trilogy, it's pretty much it's own thing.

Your ignorance hardly means the rest of the world is ignorant as well.

 

[StorminNorman]

I rather they write-off the character, AND/OR, make up some story about her having a sister/cousin (or someone similar) take up the vacancy.

So say Dawe's character dies at the hands of the joker, her sister comes to Gotham to investigate her "death". It makes sense to kill Dawe's character, because it would be "out of character" for her to simply leave Gotham after devoting much of her life to it. At least this way, the sister can bare some "similarities" to Dawes, while offering a convenient new love interest.

Another way to write her off is if she has a child (marriage/bf). She thinks it would be too dangerous to raise it in Gotham given the enemies she has. But I don't think this later explanation would work well, because why would she risk this in the first place given her position? But it would be a rationale exit strategy for the character.

If they recast OR replace her with someone of a similar mold, I hope they get Jennifer Connelly. Her associations with the Hulk franchise is not a big deal, seeing they are doing a loose sequel/restart.

Have you ever watched the Fourth Season of Smallville?

OK, THEN Dumbeldore in Harry Potter. Rebuke that one...if you dare.

 

[ultimatefan]

WTF is MANHUNTER!?!

It´s the movie that Brett Ratner remade with the title Red Dragon. It was actually the first appearance of Hannibal Lecter. The first version was made in the eighties - by no one less than Michael Mann - starring CSI´s William Petersen.

This thread has officially gone to hell.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Not completely, since Manhunter is not a part of that trilogy, it's pretty much it's own thing.

And I don't think anyone took the recasting of Keaton too lightly in the past films.

 

[Paradoxium]

I rather they replace her character, not the actress. The sister/cousin thing was off the top of my head. I am sure they have more creative ways of getting a love interest that fills out the "moral support" + "mandated love interest" of Dawes.

I am not losing much sleep about Holmes not reprising her role anyways.

 

[Mr. Socko]

OK, THEN Dumbeldore in Harry Potter. Rebuke that one...if you dare.

Good one. That was a good choice.

Your ignorance hardly means the rest of the world is ignorant as well.

I don't wonna bit-chhh slap no one.
