The only caveat I have is that once again they did not select an actual trans woman to play the part. I know that they want commercial success but if they continue to forgo giving trans women acting opportunities there will never be a commercial success.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388113393817266374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-59532854274680280022009-03-02T14:47:00.000-06:002009-03-02T14:47:00.000-06:00I am sooo not looking forward to Kidman playing th...I am sooo not looking forward to Kidman playing this role. (plus, how many really successful films has this woman made... not many??) The book they're basing it is fiction and quite different than the real history. *snif-snif* Schlock is in the air.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126067426459920339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-61877986667079936312009-03-02T10:43:00.000-06:002009-03-02T10:43:00.000-06:00Camile,It would be nice if Alexandra Billings, Cal...Camile,<BR/>It would be nice if Alexandra Billings, Calpernia Addams, Candis Cayne or Aleshia Brevard were actually playing this role.<BR/><BR/>The reality of Hollywood is that money and star power gets movies made, even indie ones.Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-25188871530377923752009-03-02T02:35:00.000-06:002009-03-02T02:35:00.000-06:00I think it might be nice to see an actual trans pe...I think it might be nice to see an actual trans person play a trans person or even GASP! a gay person play a gay person (Milk, I'm looking at you), but I must accept that it's a Hollywood movie and Hollywood is just about dollars and cents. If I want to see transpeople telling their own stories, I will just keep up with all the great documentaries and articles you recommend!:)Camille Aceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088945478653638179noreply@blogger.com
