Amy Adams has a new movie out?! TAKE MY MONEY!

...said no one, ever.

i mean, she's fine. i like her. but putting her face and/or name full-frame on the movie poster is not selling anyone on it.

Gyllenhaal, maybe. He does weird movies and really commits to the parts. I can see someone being loyal to his "brand". But Adams is just...another just actress who pops up in 1-2 award-bait films and another 1-2 every year or so.

I guess no one's rushing out to see it on the back of anyone involved, really - Tom Ford isn't an established director. Michael Shannon probably isn't the lead, or enough of one to sell the movie around.

I pity the marketing team for this one.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of hers but, whether you like it or not, she's become a recognizable name. The fact that you referred to her only in your thread testifies that you recognize her. Maybe you don't like her movies or her looks or her acting or whatever else but you still recognized her and felt enough emotion to come comment on it on IMDb ;)
Basically, you just contributed to the marketing of Amy and consequently the movie.

After seeing this (and anticipatig Arrival's arrival) i'm pretty sure i'll be saying it from now on.

[–] doodleboy 8 years ago

i went to see Arrival opening day (and enjoyed it!). i didn't go because of her, and while she's good in it, i didn't like it because of her.

i don't dislike her. i just don't get the idea that she has a rabid fanbase, and (thusly) why a movie studio would market a movie around her (i.e. Movie Poster is Just Her Face).

I mean, jennifer aniston, i get (hence: Cake). Same with Nicole Kidman (Birth, Stepford Wives, etc).

There. I just said it, jerk! Like Gyllenhaal, but much prefer Amy Adams. I'd throw Jake over any day for her.

i went to see Arrival too, but i would've gone to see it no matter who starred in it. Well, maybe not Tobey Maguire. Can't stand that guy.

I guess i just don't see how she would have a rabid fanbase. Sure, she's likable and she's a good actress; she just doesn't engender that kind of enthusiasm.
