I think Amy Adams is a very good actor, but this casting? Just no.

I seriously can't think of a single actress I'd prefer to Adams here. Would you like to name some?

Well Amy Adams is way more attractive than Janis Joplin.

She's been attached to this Janis Joplin biopic for the last 4 years. I'll believe it when I see it.

Well for one thing, I will be shocked if Amy Adams can even come close to the appropriately raspy voice. And for this movie, the voice will be everything. Adams is just too polished.

As for other actors? someone like Sally Hawkins could likely pull it off a bit better

I hate biopics *noted

But I love Amy Adams.

I will watch this sanitized shite show.

Sounds great to me. I thought about starting a thread about this yesterday, now I know I should have. Horrible OP.

I bet you also enjoyed Matt Damon playing his celebrity persona in Interstellar as well.

I bet you enjoyed Andre 2000 playing Jimi Hendricks. He looks a lot like him.

Just be happy they got a great actress to play Janis Joplin. She'll make it work.

Absolutely. Would have the voice down as well and has actually been into drugs IRL so she's got that experience too.

Amy Adams is in her 40's. Janis Joplin died in her 20's. Prob just a rumor.

She turned 40 a few months ago. You're making it sound like she's 45.

I actually think Jennifer Lawrence would be a better fit.
