Star Power |
No actors are currently tied to Slide Away as of yet. Blogs have reported that Johnny Depp already declined the role (he’s supposedly in talks to star in a Freddie Mercury biopic instead).
|
Joseph Fiennes will star as the lead
|
America’s sweetheart Julia Roberts will star as the lead
|
Final Score |
While we would have loved to see Depp take a stab at this, we think Hayden Christensen (think of the moodiness he achieved with Life as a House) would be pitch perfect.
|
We can’t wait to see more of the hottie destined for an Oscar who melted our hearts as William Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love and Sir Robert Dudley in Elizabeth.
|
This could be Oscar win number two for the Academy Award winning actress of Erin Brockovich
