I’m fascinated with the Getty family. Hot mess indeed! I think it looks like a good film, but knowing how it ends takes a bit of the drama out for me.
I know that Michelle Williams IS old enough to be the mom of a teenager, but in practice she just doesn’t seem like she is old enough to play one. The movie looks good, so I guess I’ll reserve judgment until I see her in it…
Abigail Getty’s ex-husband was 41 when the kidnapping happened so she was probably around the same age or even younger and Michelle is 37, so it’s just a minor difference, but I don’t understand why does she look, speak and move like an old lady here? Kevin Spacey as grandpa Getty is super weird – why him?
Still, to me the oddest casting is Mark Wahlberg. He is a horrible actor and by all accounts – human being. Why does he get roles in prestigious movies – leading roles at that? He lowers the rating of any movie he’s in by half in my book.
Because that’s how Abigail Getty spoke and acted. Look at pictures of her from that time. Williams looks positively youthful in comparison. And the accent is dead on.
The movie looks good, and that’s an effective trailer; I didn’t plan to see it, and now I do. I had heard of the movie, and even know that Scott had offered the part to Natalie Portman first! But I agree–a very odd accent indeed.
The mother was 40 something, I know Michelle Williams is close – but I think Hiliary Swank in the Amazon (?) version will be better. And Natalie Portman? ? No, just can’t see her as mother of a 17 year old at ALL.
Oh thanks, I didn’t know there was to be another version–I’ll be looking for that. And I agree, Portman, mother of preschoolers, is really not suited, though I always like to see her.
Is that Mark Wahlberg? Hard pass.
i know, if only Mark Wahlberg wasn’t in it, I would see it.
i wonder if Balthazar Getty wanted a role in this film.
I have to google Balthazar and see how he is doing. I’ve read some on the Getty family and it seems like many of them lived very tragic lives. J Paul Getty was a total bastard! I do not want to spoil the film for anyone but the details of his 16 yr old grandson’s kidnapping are disturbing! He was a terrible human and his sole purpose in life was only to make a fortune. If anyone wants to read an interesting true life tale, the Getty’s are pretty fascination (to me).
The GOT producers are deluded if they think anyone is going to fall for that. All of the endings are going to leak anyway and people will probably figure the one they will use easily because D&D are predictable as all hell.
I hope they do it anyway and then release all of the possible endings when the dvd/blue ray comes out. Kind of like the ending to Clue that came out in 1986. I will probably hate all of the endings and just re-write the ending myself in my head.
Kelly Dodd is disgusting. I think the only reason she is still on Orange County is to give Vicki someone to talk to because Vicki burned all the other friendship bridges to the ground and then stomped and spit on the ashes.
Good lord those popahollic commmets on the photos of Jennifer Lawrence are so gross.
Yeah this site really needs to stop posting links to Popoholic, it’s vile.
Thank God someone else said this, I am so done with popaholic… so disgusting.
Yes, PLEASE get rid of the Popoholic links. Please. Some pervert is responsible for writing them – so gross.

I love Spacey…but COME ON. I can think of many others that would’ve been fine in that role sans the facial prosthetics and heavy makeup. Yuck.
Oddly cast indeed!
Kevin Spacey is always amazing on screen but Michelle Williams??? I just don’t know. And don’t even get me started on Mark Wahlberg…
That being said, I’m sensing this is a December release movie when all the Oscar bait starts to come out so Scott is hoping for some nominations I’m thinking.
More than likely I’ll just go see it and see what it’s about. I’m not all that familiar with the Getty family so it could be somewhat interesting for me.
Hear hear re:Popoholic links on celebitchy. The language they use makes me shudder!
I love celebitchy and it has truly become a place which has made me grow in awareness in terms of feminism, intersectionality, politics etc… so I’ve always found it so surprising that you send us to this website in your links!
Yeah, can we get rid of the links to Popaholic already?
OMG french actor Romain Duris is playing some not so caucasian kidnapper……
Whats up with that??!?!
The kidnappers were Italian.
Spacey is actually perfect for this role and if he doesn’t phone in he could even make it to awards season and he’s on a roll of playing powerful POS, so he’s fine by me. But Williams and Whalberg? Totally wrong.
I don’t get why it’s oddly cast. I strongly dislike Mark would-have-stopped-the-terrorists Whalberg, but that’s it.
