Would Sarah Jessica Parker have been a better choice instead of Kate?


It says on the trivia that Parker dropped out of this movie and was replaced by Kate.
I've never seen Parker in a role like this (if she plays a similiar role - write which one!!!) and I think she could have been pretty good and surprise us all.

What do you guys think?

im sorry but the only movie where SJP should replace a main role is seabiscuit.

Kate was just awesome in this movie ,i just cant see Sarah in the role of Amy.
so great that Sarah dropped out and they went with Kate.

reply

I think she would have sucked and I couldn't see her doing that role.
Kate is a way better actress though and she was awesome

reply

No, because the entire film 1/2 or more of the audience would have wanted to see her get die.

oh god no thank *beep* SJP wasnt in this film shes a crap actress and would of made a mess of this film even tho kates role in the film wasnt particularly hard to do, sjp is *beep* just stick to girly *beep* please.

It would have been a good and bold move for SJP, that's for sure, to try and break her own mold. I actually wouldn't mind seeing her in a horror/thriller. But Kate was freakin' awesome. Not sure if SJP could have pulled of the nuances that Kate did (especially the concealed love underneath the anger/anxiety of the divorce). But, hey, who knows? We've all been surprised by actors and actresses jumping into new territory.

Sarah Jessica Horseface is one of the worst actresses out there, she has no range whatsoever and she is totally annoying. So no.

What god, please no, we can get pass some mistakes, story problems and stuff but Sarah J. P. that would've ended all for this movie, I FOR SURE wouldn't bought the movie if her name appeared on the cover.

I love Sarah J, but I dont think this kind of role suits her at all. Kate was perfect for the part.

I don't think SJP would have been terrible, but she's not nearly as talented an actress as Kate, and rates even more poorly against Kate if we go strictly by looks. This wasn't really a tough role to play, but I can't really picture SJP doing any of the "final girl" action stuff very convincingly, where as it's second nature with Kate.

reply

I love both actresses but I kinda wanna see them both in it. Like two different versions; one with Kate, one with SJP. Kate was great in it, but I wanna see how SJP would go. There must have been a reason why they cast her other then her name.

reply

Thank the lord SJP dropped out! Kate can do anything... serious, rom-com, comedy, action, fantasy, everything. Blows SJP out of the universe.

the only similar roles i can think of are perhaps "striking distance" and "extreme measures".... but only cause they're kinda thillers... to the best of my knowledge i don't believe she's done anything proper horror-like
