Why did she take this very small part? She was in the film, what 6 seconds and had no dialogue??? They could of found someone else on the street to play this part?
shareHer husband is Paul Bettany. Maybe he thought she'd like the movie and role, despite it being such a small one.
shareOr maybe her character has a bigger part in the second book and they wanted her for the second movie? I haven't read the books so maybe I'm wrong but thats what I figgured.
shareIt's so weird though because when I was reading the books a few years ago I totally had her in my mind when reading the character....

Interesting!!
Well... better have her in a small role that have other one.
She's great and I bet she'll be in a longer role during the second movie!
Wasn't she the one who plays Dustfinger's wife, and said, "Come home..."?
shareYes, that was her.
Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly
It was simply the case that Jennifer happened to be visiting her husband while filming was taken place and that she agreed to 'play' Roxanne when she was asked. No mystery :).

I'm sure the role didn't take long. There were really only two shots of her. I'm glad she agreed to the cameo, though it was a bit distracting to have such a recognizable actress there.
shareI just hate the ending. You don't see her face and, to me, that translates into them either being lazy or not able to get her to finish the plot line and shoot the scene. It was so utterly awkward to me. I've said it before: who doesn't show the reaction shot of two lovers who haven't seen each other in years? It was unnecessary and sloppy.

Because her husband plays Dustfinger, simple as that.

Yeah, Paul Bettany is her husband, so I would assume they wanted him to actually look like he loved Roxanne....but I doubt they'll make the next movie cause this one kinda sucked badly, but I wouldn't mind if Paul just played Dustfinger....lol, he's my fav in the movie and I think Dustfinger is also my fav. character in the book....so tortured and so awesome....

Paul Bettany has a habit of starring with his wife a lot and I think it was easier because she does look like how Roxanne is described, so I guess it was less time-consuming to cast her.

Dustfinger's wife plays a much larger role in the rest of the book series. My guess is that they cast her, planning ahead for the next two movies (if they make them).
shareAfter ruining her looks with a bad nose job, breast reduction, possible bulimia and a diet of sour grapes, she should be happy to get any work especially via nepotism. Compare how she looks today with some of her earlier films. She was a beautiful girl. She likes to blame the loss of her breasts on her children but that's an old wive's tale. And having an Oscar these days means nothing. They are sold now, not earned. Oh, you don't believe me ? Look who won last Sunday. I rest my case.
"I say,open this door at once! We're British !"
Are you saying that losing your breasts from having children is an old wives tale? Well actually it's not. Maybe it doesn't happen to every single woman but unfortunately it happens a lot.
