question about casting mona sax (for anyone in the know)

I remember hearing that Olga Kurylenko was originally cast (or originally going to be cast) as mona sax before that changed to Mila Kunis. Was this really ever the case?

i remeber something about that, but i don't think it was.

I think she may have acidentally listed on imdb as mona, but it proved false.

On that note,

I love Mila Kunis.
she is adorable, funny, and can be super freaking sexy when she wants to be.

JUST WATCH BLACK SWAN!!!!!!

I LOVE HER,

But unfortuanelty, she does not look like a seasoned contractor. Bridget monyhan, jennifer Connelly, maria bello, would have all been better suited for this role.

pity really, I think she would have been good as mona. Kunis is great but films really can live or die on their casting

With you on the last three though! Any of them would have been great, especially Jennifer Connelly!

probably right there, much as I like mila kunis...maybe the roles should have been the other way round?

The greatest mystery is why did they make sisters Russian? I understand the twin part being removed (two sisters played by same actress would've been too Sin City's Goldie/Wendy) but the Russian connection and Natasha, instead of Lisa, made no sense.
