jakeisphat Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It can be done! Think Charlize Theron in Monster; Michael Douglas as Liberace; Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher; Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar in Narcos; etc... But when it comes to Griselda, studios keep botching the nature of her story by portraying her as some glamorous femme fatale when she was actually an overweight, granny-esque murderer... It doesn't even seem like they're trying: Actual Griselda: Why do they keep doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniac Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Maybe J-Lo will do it in her movie with HBO. Or Sofia Vergara in the Netflix series adaption. Edited May 15, 2022 by insomniac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlepunk Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It’s like the user above said the gp doesn’t want to see a old overweight everybody loves Raymond grandma looking woman be a murderer on the big screen. A lot of the reasons why those other roles succeed was due to the actress and transforming involve in. Like Charlize Theron with monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavagePapi Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Because only J.Lo can do it justice. #soon #pronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeisphat Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Y'all keep saying nobody wants to see an overweight old lady murdering people, while bypassing the fact that realistic portrayals often smash at the box office and collect accolades back to back to back. If the gp found out J.Lo was wearing prosthetics to look homely, gritty, and overweight - for an iconic performance, they would show up... Just as people did for Charlize, Meryl, Jessica C, Christian Bale, and the others that didn't mind looking gross to make the portrayal more accurate. It really doesn't make sense why studios are ignoring that over and over. I really hope Jennifer comes through and gets that Oscar nom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livelikemusic Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sorry, but Catherine Zeta-Jones did amazing in Cocaine Godmother. You're also forgetting her portrayal was for a Lifetime film. And Netflix seems to be unoriginal in just trying to mirror what Zeta-Jones did with the Lifetime film. It will be interesting to see what Jennifer Lopez does if her film gets produced.
