Jessica's just being type-cast right now like she mentioned in the Rolling Stone interview. I think what she needs, as much as I hate them for the most part, is an indie flick where she can show some range. You can tell she has the range to play both good and bad girl. Now she has to work at serious roles. I mean, seriously, she could have easily done Portman's role in Closer and gotten the Oscar the same as crappy as that movie was.
Maybe a psycho roll like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction once she gets older, right now it'd end up too much like Swimfan. Give her time. Once her star shines bright enough over LA she'll start getting offers befitting her talent. |
