The whole "Jennifer Lopez might be in Jersey Girl" uproar around here today kills me.
(And I shall NOT refer to her as J-Lo either...)
First of all, casting her is nothing short of a possibility, if you’re reading the same Newsaskew article that everyone else is. I mean, that’s what I’m taking from it. Negotiations don't always work out, so whether you care about Jennifer Lopez or not, at least try to reserve judgment. At the very least, wait until her being cast is more than simply one of the possibilities. Or better yet, wait until you actually SEE Jennifer Lopez in an Askew movie, and decide based on a performance.
Secondly, I seem to remember everyone around here going fucking bonkers when they heard about Jason Biggs and James Van Der Beek being cast in J&SBSB. Then, some of the same people who bitched and whined about the casting changed their tune when they finally saw the movie. Kevin told you that they fit exactly what they were cast for, did he not? Granted, a lead role in Jersey Girl will probably require far more work and talent than a simple cameo, but I digress.
Even if Jennifer Lopez would someday be cast, I assume you’re a fan of Kevin’s work, or you wouldn’t be here. So why don’t you cool it and give the fucking guy the benefit of the doubt. Has his past casting really let you down THAT much?
