I love Angelina, LOVE HER. I’m sure she will deliver, as she always does. But they are gonna have to add a prosthetic nose or something.

WHAT is going on where Angelina and Gaga keep being the top two choices for roles??? First they were both in the running to play Cleopatra, then Gaga got offered this role and it ended up going to Angelina

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Men are naturally more dominating, aggressive, and logical thinking because we have balls.

I am the biggest Angelina Jolie fan but where’s the resemblance? Maria was very insecure about her appearance and had a very distinct Greek nose. 

Maybe theyll add a prosthetic nose which is kind of insulting

I dissagree you cant pretend to sing opera you need to actualy be able to sing opera in order to play an opera singer

Or just use her recordings, just like how they used Selena’s recordings for the Selena movie. 
 

makes way more sense to use her recordings, since well, it’s about her.

she died when she was 53...

Oop, when they said "final days" I assumed she was elderly :deadbanana:

I know fans really would have loved this for our fave, but Angelina is really more suited for the role as she is closer to 50 tbh. It always takes me out when people try to cast younger actresses for roles that clearly meant for older women (especially when there are barely any interesting roles to go for them to go around in the first place).

(He's an actor, but I also feel the same about Adam Driver playing Ferrari - it's like, why?)

Gaga would not agree to be in an indie film but Angelina did?

Also, I know we all love Gaga-and she has a resemblance-but she's all wrong for this...this is about Maria's final days. She died in her early 50s and Angie is in her mid to late 40s. Gaga is 36. She is way, way too young for this role lol.

It's absolutely suited for Angie, though I think Anne-who could sing-would have been interesting if she was five years older (she's around 40, now).

Gag was never in the running for this role lol. She's way too young (Maria died in her early 50s and this is about her last days...Angie is in her late 40s).

But didn't the woman who wrote the film herself find Gaga in a backstage area or hotel or something earlier this year to ask her personally to be in the role and was obsessed with the idea of Gaga playing her?? Or was I hallucinating?

I think that was just some random person who wrote a script-anyone can write one-and approached Gaga...not like an established screenwriter. This is a different screenwriter who is very well known.

There were defn. some rumors that she was in play for the Cleopatra film, though, but even those were sort of from dubious sources.

OMG, Anne would be another great choice - her bone structure & this first 5 seconds of this video would've made a great case for her in a different Callas film/broadway production.

Also, it's interesting to think who Gaga's actress competitors are now, we got Angelina (HoG was supposed to star her a decade ago), we got Margot (was also supposed to be Patrizia 6-7 years ago & the Harley connection), I also think Gaga and Anne will probably go up for similar roles. Scarjo too, I think (Little Shop of Horrors was initially rumored for Gaga, then silence, then suddenly it was Scarjo). Honestly, it's some illustrirous company.

Apparently they canceled the remake of Little Shop of Horrors, or put it on the backburner. That's one project I almost wonder if Gaga turned down (though ScarJo is a bigger actress than her, so it's odd to think of her taking something Gaga rejected)....While the idea was great, the director was meh,
