The people just love Lily James and can't get enough of her.

Can't wait for her acting debut though.

Five new wide releases took a huge toll on holdovers. It's simply too crowded.

not every actor works by being method and some deep complex character study.

some people just have an entertaining/enjoyable screen presence. You of all people should know that.

I don't need to remind you about the deadline track-record. Everybody and their dog knows this by now and it is what it is hardly a secret. I rest my case here

 

 

But this is later in the day. They have access to same stuff as RTH does. So they will be fairly accurate.

Five more next week too. Although Angry Birds 2 and Good Boys seem like the only ones that won't be total nonfactors.

Lily James played Nina in the Seagull at the Southwark Playhouse, played Desdemona opposite Clarke Peters at the Crucible Sheffield and was in Rufus Norris' version of Vernon God Little at the Young Vic.

 

Her choice of movies aside, I don't think James has all that much to prove on the thespian side of things.

What is the point in studios releasing so many movies per week in August? Are they hoping to not make a profit?!🤔

She went to Guildhall.

 

She will use standard British active analysis/method of physical actions techniques.

 

No British actor uses method. Or would ever. Indeed Daniel D-L is pretty much the only non-American to use a version of method. The US clinging on to that outdated garbage is the main reason so many non-Americans dominate Hollywood.

August has always been a dumping ground for movies studios have little faith in or know won't sell at any other time of year (or at all). This year is looking to be no different.

Why on earth is 47 Meters Down in 3,600+ theaters next weekend?
