she would be perfect for this adaptation. i liked this book a lot. i didn't love it though because the main character was a bit too special snowflake but it was still a good read

[bellwetherr]

well she's a 12 year old genius. that is pretty special.

I'll def watch this when it comes out <3

i'm glad she's getting roles. too often minority actors get huge recognition for one role and still get crap offers afterward.

plus she took a friggin dog purse to the oscars, who could hate

I remember people caterwauling about how she, Octavia and Viola won't be getting much work, and all we see them do is book one job after another.

Good for them!

[frankthesheep]

and by people you mean Viola and Octavia themselves? Cos Viola was recently "caterwauling" about the sort of roles she gets in the industry and Octavia is paying a nurse for like the 100th time.

Yeah, they complained, but that's what actors do, to be honest. I've met too many actors who think they should be more famous or get more roles than they actually get; their ethnicity be damned.

When you're an actor, work is work, and while they may not like particular parts, they work more than most actors I know.

Like I said, "good for them."

[frankthesheep]

Oh please, lets not act like their complaints is just garden variety actors complaining. If she was white, an actress of Viola's calibre won't be settling for unnamed roles and 5 minutes in a film here and there.

Anyway, I just realised who you are and kinda regret starting this conversation. I'm out.
