I prefer Emily to Scarlett. Even in the looks department. I'd give her an 8, probably. Scarlett isn't as hot as she once was.

Is it because you feel that Scarlett is simply better looking than you and as a result, prefer Emily "I'm overrated" Blunt??

She is such a one note actress.... she was close to single handedly ruining Match Point with her horrible performance. Her best acting days are in the past and whats funny is that the most overrated thing about her isnt even her acting talent....it's her looks.

She was awesome in The Island. And she is super hot in movies.

Blunt is a far more ferocious kind of sexy, so for the role, I'd say this is a downgrade.

I sort of dislike Libs, but even that made me go =o a little. Unneeded, BKB.

Scarlett fucking sucks, as an actress. She's beautiful, definitely. But silicone to her is like weed to a normal person. Instead of destroying her brain cells, it destroyed the acting talent she once had. Her fake bewbs ruined her.

Scarlett was pretty bad in HJNTIY. It was like it was her first movie, and she didn't even have that big of a role. But she looked amazing.

Bad news. Scarlett is not a very good actress. Looks and talent-wise she's very overrated.

If Blunt is out I'm back to not caring that much about this. I'll see it on DVD. With Blunt I'd have seen it on the big screen.

Jesus, how anal can you possibly be in not wanting to see a movie because of 1 actress, 1 highly overrated actress at that, not being in it?? This is going a little too far folks.. What do you folks have a poster of this chick Emily Blunt on your bedroom wall or what??

I would actually prefer people not see Iron Man 2 if their attendance is based on whether or not Emily Blunt (!?) is hired. :funny:

Jesus, isn't that something?? All this brouhaha over 1 actress.. Now if RDJ weren't in it, there might be cause for concern since technically, he did sell the movie, but for heaven sakes folks, not over a supporting actress that'll probably have a minimum part in it..

If there was one, I'd have it :P.

IRON MAN was good, but not GREAT. I'll see a sequel on DVD no matter what, but if it had one of my favorite actors/actresses in it I'd be much more inclined to see it in theaters. I don't care if it's a supporting role.

She has such a small body of work though Mike, how could she realistically be one of your favourite actresses?

Maybe realistically she can't be, and yet she is ;). She's just a personal favorite. It was love at first sight :P. Also, I've seen her in a nice amount of movies:

MY SUMMER OF LOVE
GIDEON'S DAUGHTER
IRRESISTIBLE
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
WIND CHILL
THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB
DAN IN REAL LIFE



And I've seen her in the trailer for SUNSHINE CLEANING ;).

They interviewed Jon last night and Emily Blunt is definitely off the film. He didn't say who he hopeds to get. He also said he hopes to work with Mickey but will also welcome any number of other great actors to the production.

Yeah, this has to be one of the silliest threads I've gone through in some time. Arguing over which women is sexier... Isn't the sex appeal of one starlet over another, y'know, a personal thing? I guess that like Lynch vs. Cronenberg, that just shows the downside of having a forum that's primarily focused on box office, a quantitative discussion, yet is all about movies, a qualitative one.

Anyways, I can't think of a single actor/actress this decade whose been such a let down following their big break. In Lost in Translation, SJ was wonderful. Since then...

Even more troubling to me is how shitty Marvel's casting department has been. I can understand why they wouldn't keep Terrence Howard - wasn't his paycheck for Iron Man higher than Robert Downey Jr's? But how do you not pay Samuel L. Jackson enough? Doesn't that guy work for a slab of crack these days? Then there's Mickey Rourke, and now this. I really hope that Iron Man 2 is good, the first one was terrific fun (quite underrated on these Batman-lovin' forums too.)

Seems she really wanted to do it

I start the question and I can hear the eyes rolling even over the phone.


"Ohhh boy," says Emily Blunt, bracing for the Black Widow/Iron Man 2 question. She was director Jon Favreau's pick to play Black Widow, Russian spy and sexy villainess, to Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man in the about-to-film sequel to last summer's comic book film smash. But Favreau revealed on the Oscar red carpet that Fox was exercising its option to have her in the new Gulliver's Travels that studio is backing (Jack Black has the title role, Rob Letterman is directing). So no Emily.

"I'm okay," Blunt says with a sigh. "Because I just have to do this Fox movie, and it's fine and I'm gonna have fun. The whole beginning of the year has been rather dramatic, so I'd just rather go in with fresh eyes and know that I've made the right decision. You just don't know until it's all finished and done with, do you?"

And telling her "Well, the sequel's almost never as good as the original" doesn't help. "I'm glad you said that, not me. It's a little disappointing is all I can say." She's got the terrific Sunshine Cleaning and The Young Victoria, in which she plays the 19th Queen in the making, that she's very high on. Both of those hit theaters (Sunshine here, Victoria in the UK) in March and April.
