she needs a new team!


she has been in one bad thing after another since D A, they need to pick better scripts.

Movies yes but she just finished that play Oresteia in London and it got rave reviews in general and for the whole cast, including Jessica.

So I'm hoping things are looking up for her. She has her first real lead role in This Beautiful Fantastic so lets see how that turns out.

I want to so see her succeed. A trip to London tho' is not in the cards, so will look forward for the new movie.

reply

I want to see her succeed too. I'm really hopeful that This Beautiful Fantastic will be great.

I haven't seen Victor Frankenstein yet but my friend just did and they said Jessica was charming as usual and did the best she could with the material at hand.

I know Jessica's Film projects haven't been the most successful but I can see why she chose to be in those films. Look at the people she got to work with:

Winter's Tale - Colin Farrell & Russell Crowe

Lullaby - Amy Adams & Jennifer Hudson

Victor Frankenstein - Daniel Radcliffe & James McAvoy

On paper I'm sure they looked like great opportunities.

I'm just trying to think on the positive for her right now. She just had major success on the London Stage and I follow the director of This Beautiful Fantastic on Twitter and I'm really hoping it's a great film.

Hopefully her next project is announced soon.

She's doing another play Uncle Vanya at the Almeida February 5 through March 26, 2016.

Maybe she caught the theater bug? I do hope she makes more movies though. She hasn't had much success with them yet but This Beautiful Fantastic does sound like it could be good.

It's the strangest thing I ever saw. I went on the distributors website to get some information on the film and they have the whole screenplay on there you can read!

I read the script in one sitting. It was great!

I probably won't have time to read it until after the holidays.

Can you tell us a little what you thought of the script?

reply

I will not give too much away just in case her fans want to be spoiler free but I will say its Jessica's best film role to date.

I would describe the script as being filled with heart and humor. It celebrates friendship and the beauty of nature.

reply

The script might be good, and the acting might be good, but you rely on the director and film editing to make a good movie. And for her specifically in "Jamaica Inn," sound.

As has be stated, many of the scripts JBF has signed on to might have been good, but the execution hasn't.

That's why Downton remains her best so far.
