She’s a great choice. Good actress, beautiful and … not Kirsten Dunst. I’ve been a fan of her work since her “Once and Again” days.
I guess we’ll have to see if this is mentioned on the p-cast…then I will explain why I believe this is “Fail-tastic!”
Wowza. I’ve never even seen/heard of her before, and she is already better than Kirsten Dunst (in my oppinion). And I think I have at least one thought of the “Fail”……
Haha…just…Fail!
“Fail”…what?
Fail!
Well I like her a lot more than Kirsten Dunst. Plus Evan’s a much better actress (and singer) than Kirsten. I kinda hope her AtU co-star (Jim Sturgess) gets the role of Parker.
… and looks better than Kirsten Dunst to boot….
only one blemish on her record so far… Marilyn Manson?!?!? …the hell were you thinking, girl?!?!?!
She will be a great MJ, what a redheaded!!!!!!!
She definately looks the part.
