Why Hollywood won't cast Kate Bosworth anymore


http://www.nickiswift.com/117926/hollywood-wont-cast-kate-bosworth-anymore/

When Blue Crush hit theaters in 2002, many expected yet another mindless surfer movie with teenage girls in bikinis. Instead, they found an empowering story of three working-class hotel maids fighting poverty and class distinction while trying to realize their dreams of becoming professional surfers at Hawaii's famous North Shore. Audiences and critics also discovered who was next in line to be crowned Hollywood's bright "star in the making" — Kate Bosworth.

Although her next film, 2004's Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, was a critical and box office failure, Bosworth's turned in a solid performance as small-town girl Rosalee Futch. Famed critic Roger Ebert said Bosworth held the formulaic comedy together "with a sweetness that is beyond calculation."

With two critically acclaimed roles out of the gate, there was no question Bosworth was poised to grace the silver screen for decades to come, but flash forward more than 15 years later, and that prophecy has yet to be fulfilled.

From high-profile breakups to a string of flops and outspoken activism, Bosworth's personal and professional life has endured a few wipeouts since she surfed her way into our hearts. Let's take a deep dive to find out why Hollywood won't cast Kate Bosworth anymore.

Her career was ruined when she did Lois Lane, and she has Kevin Spacey to thank for that role--he for some reason was really obsessed with her after they did "Beyond the Sea" together, and worked hard to convince Bryan Singer to cast her in the part. She just wasn't right for it.

She came after two superb Lois Lanes: Margot Kidder (the best of all the women who have played the part), and Teri Hatcher. The trick to playing Lois Lane is she's feisty and very funny, and has been since the 40s in the comics (she's the best reporter for The Daily Planet, but she always gets herself into scrapes because she's so reckless). Kate Bosworth was far too serious and dreary in the role, as was Amy Adams after her. Erika Durrance was pretty good on "Smallville" (especially in comparison to the dull Kristina Kreuk as Lana Lang) although no one ever saw her again after that part.

If you were to ask me who Lois should've been ideally, Courteney Cox, she's Lois not Kate Bosworth.

But here in Sweden our views are from 2020, and yours are from 1920.

reply

So you’re saying that all Americans have views from the 1920’s? You’re either a wiseacre or a lousy dame! Why, I oughta give ya what for! If I didn’t have to get to a lynching, you’d be ridin’ outta here in a meat wagon!

What? Kate Bosworth is way hotter.

Does anyone take these "Why Hollywood wont cast...." articles seriously?

Kate Bosworth has five movies coming out in the next two years. I would say she is definitely being cast.

Here's what TV Tropes has to say about her career:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/HollywoodHypeMachine/ExamplesThatDidntHoldUp

Kate Bosworth had bit parts and a cancelled-after-one-season TV show on The WB called Young Americans before her starring role in Blue Crush. Once that hit, she was catapulted to the position of "It Girl", hyped as the greatest and most beautiful actress of her generation (sometimes this phrase was used verbatim), and she became a regular tabloid and fashion mag staple because she was dating the premiere heartthrob of the time, Orlando Bloom. The point where her hype started to push credulity, however, seemed to come when she was cast in Superman Returns as the title character's iconic love interest, Lois Lane, a seasoned veteran reporter (which in the film is also mother of a five-year-old child) despite the fact that Bosworth was only 23 at the time, attracting a great deal of eyebrow-raising and mockery. Fast-forwarding to 2010, and just about every film since Blue Crush, with the exception of Superman Returns, has been a critical and/or commercial failure, though not for lack of trying for that great comeback.

Well anything with her name on they're films that not many people shout about or not the kind of films I wanna see.

Probably a superficial thing where she's small and skinny, she looks like a scrawny teenager, I don't know.

reply

She has none of the elements that other Lois Lane actresses brought to the character, she doesn't have that tough edge that Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Erica Durance or Elizabeth Tulloch have.
