newknicksfan Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I read the script. Bale's role is amazing, definitely gonna get oscar attention. Also O. Russel's Goodfellas comparison in tone and as inspiration seems very valid. This will be a very entertaining movie. Based of the boxoffice of Russel's last two films and the star wattage of this film, I say 140 domestic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Is Bale turning into Sean Connery? Isn`t Jlaw too young to play his wife, even a trophy wife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Isn't Bale playing a Congressman? The real one probably had a younger wife. Anyway one of the great things about Lawrence is that she can play older roles too while most actresses her age can't. SLP role was supposed to be an older role as well and DOR had Zooey Deschanel in mind (late 20s) to play the role but Lawrence pulled it off better than Deschanel could have.

CoolioD1 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 In the script I'm reading right now - Adams character - late twenties. Lawrence character - late thirties..... obviously been changed up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Older man/younger woman doesn't seem to be an issue for movies. God forbid it being the other way round though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 If DOR pulls off another 3 Oscar noms, he will be only the 5th director to do this 3 times in a row. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Does the script read like more of a comedy or a drama? I guess Goodfellas straddled that line pretty well so perhaps it's hard to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It's definitely got that Goodfellas-esque tone. Though this is the first script, and DOR has rewritten the script since and he's pretty good with comedy. There's some funny stuff to do with the character that I'm just kinda assuming is the one being played by Louis CK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Is Bale the definitive lead, or does it play as more of an ensemble? Definite. He narrates it a little and I'm only halfway through but he's been in pretty much every single scene so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Louis Ck plays Polk he will be involved in alot of hilarious shit, but also the but end of many jokes from Mel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Couldn't they theoretically keep the "American Bullshit" title as long as they #@$! out the "shit" in all the promos/posters/logos/etc? They should go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newknicksfan Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Isn't Bale playing a Congressman? The real one probably had a younger wife. Anyway one of the great things about Lawrence is that she can play older roles too while most actresses her age can't. SLP role was supposed to be an older role as well and DOR had Zooey Deschanel in mind (late 20s) to play the role but Lawrence pulled it off better than Deschanel could have. He play's a financial con artist. His wife is a stay at home wife, and never suspected him as a cheater and or thief. So a young maybe dimwitted/ unsuspecting wife could work. Don't know how DOR is gonna do that one. But his mistress/partner in crime played by Amy Adams has the better role and the one Weinberg truly loves. Obviously there will be script changes, but DOR needs to keep that dialogue for Weinberg, dude is a riot. Also needs to keep the bowling alley/bathroom/parking lot scene and the end. The script was damn good, i could see where some tweaks were needed and a couple corny things (wayne newton WTF) but stick to the script! And don't change the ending it's brilliant.

They should go for it. Yeah i think they can and they should. Bullshit is said so many times in the movie, it's a huge theme within the script.
