This reminds me of MIB and specifically this line:

Quote:
Then I saw little Tiffany. I'm thinking, y'know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something.

Yep. I am no prude by any stretch of the imagination. Give me Elisha Cuthbert dressed like that and I'll be first in line. Maybe I am wrong, (I hope I am) but the aim of the film makers seems to be intentionally naughty. Which would be just fime with me if it were Marisa Tomei. But this is a child. If it does turn out to be a provocative flick, all hells going to break loose from the conservatives. (Not a slam on conservatives, they'll just be the first to the punch)

Don't know about this one. You have to wonder at the intelligence of Hollywood at times. Not every comic book story translate well into movies. That might be one of them but what do I know.

Its Hollywood....lets not be naive. No disrespect meant to you guys at all, but the list of kids that were "marketed" with more than one angle is quite long. Britney Spears ring any bells? Yeah right, she was selling music And Teabaggins, LOL at the blow up comment.

I'd like to add that I'm not sure it's such a good idea to have an 11 year old slaying numerous people. I dont mean from a movie aspect, I mean is it OK for the little girl/actress. I know its "acting"...but....I dunno, I guess if the tone is right, with humor maybe.

It's like I was saying a little before you, some stuff from the comic world just does not work in the movie format, this one look's like one of those time for me

Whoa. I'm not familiar with the guy's work at all, but this concept sounds awesome.

Yep. In the comic its all fictional. This little actress is going to have to aim guns at people and kill them...over and over. Its pretend, but is it OK for her to experience that with no negative residual effect? I dont know. I can say that if she were my child, I would decline the role. Seems a bit too edgy to me.

Sorry for the rant I'm done.
