CASTING NEWS! WHO WILL PLAY LORI & FELICITY ON THE BIG SCREEN, HBO & ON LIFETIME?
Now that Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman have been exposed, indicted and charged in The Great College Admissions Scam of 2019, the big question is who will play them on screen.
In a perfect world Aunt Becky and Lynette Scavo would play themselves ala Joan & Melissa Rivers in the 1994 NBC TV Movie Tears & Laughter: The Joan & Melissa Rivers Story, but the chances of that happening in 2019 are next to impossible.
The right actresses must not only look the part and be of similar age, but also deliver the needs of the production in terms of talent, star power and believability.
Here are my casting choices should the project land on the big screen, HBO and Lifetime.
If the amazing caper were to be turned into a big budget film for theaters, the casting would require A-list talent that could portray Hollywood versions of girls next door gone bad.
COMING TO THEATERS THIS CHRISTMAS … SANDRA BULLOCK & JENNIFER ANISTON in:
Rated R.Β Under 17 requires accompanying parent or $500k.
If producers wanted to go in depth with a seven-part limited series on premium cable, then the roles would necessitate well-respected character actresses with multiple Academy Award nominations each.
HBO PRESENTS … MARISA TOMEI & LAURA DERN in:
The truth set them free … at a cost.
But if the story is rushed into production for a quick turnaround to air on basic cable, then the roles could be filled by anyone with even a sliver of a resemblance and the ability to keep a straight face while chewing up cheesy dialogue.
LIFETIME MOVIE EVENT OF THE WEEK… CHARISMA CARPENTER & CELINE DION in:
Sometimes being a good mom is a crime.
Who do you think should play Lori & Felicity?
