Jude Law Was the Perfect Male...

By Cindy Davis | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (12)

Sorry boys and girls, this ain’t about Christina Hendricks, but it does involve voluptuous breasts so why not hang out a minute?

Sounding like a cross between Gattaca and Species, Jonathan Glazer’s (Birth, Sexy Beast) upcoming film Under the Skin is about an alien who is the “perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman.”

Let’s stop here for a mini-diversion before you read any further. Who is she - your version?

Little Miss Perfect Alien Chick (PAC - I made that up) roams the Earth using her insatiable sexual appetite to lure human prey. Presented from her point of view, the story follows PAC as she travels our fair planet, becoming attracted to life here (especially now that we’ve been saved from socialistic hell). I don’t know if she actually eats people or absorbs them or what, but apparently she begins to feel some sort of humanity herself and ends up at odds with her brethren (and sistren).

So do you want to know who Grazen picked; his perfect alien specimen?
Why it’s the voluptuous boobs lady herself:

I think this will work. I don’t get much emotion from Scarlett, in fact, I can’t say that she’s much of an actress at all. But a calm, beautiful alien who wanders Earth looking to eat people - that I can see. Seems like a good time for an earworm.

Under the Skin is set to go into production Spring 2011.

No, no, no. I've read this book. POSSIBLE SPOILERS IF THE MOVIE STAYS TRUE TO THE BOOK: It's an amazing book about a member of the underclass of an alien species who undergoes surgery to look like humans. Then she picks up male hitchhikers and takes them back to a cramped holding cell where they are castrated and fattened up to be shipped back to the home planet to be eaten. The guy wrote the book to expose the cruelty of curent industrial faming practices with cattle and pigs. It's really moving and not at all preachy. The horror of what's happening only slowly dawns on you. And there's a little twilight zone in there in that she now looks hideous to her fellow aliens and bemoans the loss of her looks.

I'm a little torn on Scarlett. She's a horrible actress. Horrible. Zero emotion, cue card mumbling...ugh. Her body is a knockout, but her face moves from pretty to hot to weird. Dunno. I refuse to watch any movie with her in it until she shows us the full frontal. Nuff said.

Nope. Jude Law is still the perfect male. And he can prove it in a way in which he doesn't need to wag his boobs all out and around.

shanmarie, I should introduce you to my ex-boyfriend. He and Jude could be twins.

I think this is perfect casting. I hope they find a good make-up artist because I'd have to agree that Scarlett can go from drop dead gorgeous to seriously strange looking at the drop of an eyeliner. Also...boobs.

I'm with you, PaddyDog I keep hearing about this movie and wondering if I read the same book everyone else did.

SPOILERS ...and isn't there that whole thing about her eyes not looking like human eyes? It appears she now wanders the entire world? The book is so much more claustrophobic, one almost wonders how she manages to ensnare that many hitchhikers in the relatively limited geography to which she limits, uh, "herself." I think the book has the potential to be a good movie, but they seem to have changed some fundamental portions. Maybe this is just the usual press release jumbling? END SPOILERS

"To Serve Man."

I hear you SavageCats. There was something odd about her eyes that the humans noticed and also she prowled rural Scotland in a car. I wonder how they're going to set it up that she wanders the world and how she gets her prey back to the holding pen? The original book would make a phenomenal movie, but I fear they've prettied it up too much.

Bleah. Give me somebody with some actual serene, other-worldly beauty, AND acting chops. Maybe Morena Baccarin?

Lena Olin
or
Gina Gershon

I think Johansson is actually pretty good at acting, but she got stuck in a real rut of aiming for stardom and going for the wrong parts, and trying to be a sexy vamp instead of being indie and awkward, as she was in her best films.

It seems like since she got that Tony award for All My Sons, she's taken a bit of a new direction and directors have realised she actually can act.

I really can't stand her. Blegh. I avoid any movie with her in it.
