Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz star in new film, DISOBEDIENCE. Yes, it's a love story.

Good.

Let's hope they are very disobedient.

Wasn't Rachel recently in some lezzie film with Nomi Rapace that was a huge flop? Nice to see she hasn't given up on this genre yet.

The lezzie stuff shouldn't be a stretch for McAdams. I guess she needs to find a niche now everyones forgotten who she is.

Can someone link a trailer for this film if one is available?

Trailer not yet available.

Have to use your imagination👠

Wish it were Winslett instead of McAdams.

I love McAdams, and I will watch this movie only because of her.

Why don't they do a remake of Rachel, Rachel?

Me, too R7

There is something not- sexual about her. And she seems more girl ( woo girl) than woman.

Rachel and Rachel?

The Rachels

The Mirror Has Two Rachels

¿Rachel?

Rachel×Rachel

Hadn't heard about this, thank you.

I'd prefer Chastain over McAdams.

Agree Kate Winslet is breathtaking.

But McAdams will absolutely do. Rachel Weisz has a very intriguing look. Extremely attractive.

I was really sick for about 6 years and have now watched probably a third of all the films ever made, including most of McAdams' oeuvre. One of the worst films ever made is her amnesia un-love story with Channing Tatum, The Vow. It's absolutely hilariously bad and you should all watch it. She was good as a baby butch solider in The Lucky Ones. Weird face. She never looks like the same person twice. Even her eyes seem to change color.

Weisz never gives a bad performance.

Yay!! Does it open this fall?

Rachel has always pinged to me. any info?

I'm guessing McAdams is a very private person, because I never hear any gossip about her. She certainly doesn't play the media game the way Angelina or J Law do.

r18, there've been a number of blind items about her and someone here who worked with her posted about not liking her, but didn't specify why.

The rumors have included: closeted, seen at dyke bars in Toronto and lesbian house parties in LA with soft butch Latinas and that she had a secret baby in Canada, which she gave to her brother.

I like her, I still need to see Denial.

All y'all lesbians need to watch Atomic Blonde -- lesbian heroine in a big-studio movie!

Unbelievable.

rachel looks washed out as a blond. She was so gorgeous in Wedding Crashers.

She also looked great in The Notebook, and I really liked her part in Spotlight.

she pings to me hard.

I would prefer Winslet and McAdams over Weisz. Winslet is top of my list...

Want to see Atomic Blonde too!

Denial is total garbage, not even fun on a camp level, just fucking awful and it looks like it had a LifeTime Movie budget. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's head is enormous and really strangely angled; did she have work done after moving to LA?

McAdams must love this role as she loves the ladies..........

Rachel Weisz has got the look. Trust me, there's a lot going on there and one wouldn't be disappointed.

What look does Weisz have?

A dangerous look. I'm so attracted to her.

The lezzies here might be interested in checking out the Naomi Alderman novel that served as the source material.

Tried, but I don't care for her writing style. The story does sound very good.

This is the first time I've ever looked forward to a movie TRAILER release.

Rachel McAdams is underestimated and quite beautiful.

[quote]I am all about [/img]

I hate this expression with the burning hot intensity of a billion supernovas.

I hate it even more without the end-image tag, let me tell you.

I am all about Eve.

Which Rachel is the top?

I love the question so much R37 that I almost want to take a poll.

McAdams

McAdams isn't attractive to me. But Weisz has an interesting look.

Weisz yes, McAdams not so much. Winslet is a dream best served in Heavenly Creatures.

McAdams is very pretty, but she's kind of short.

Weisz is hot -- sensual, compelling beauty. And she is at least 5'6"

Loved Kate Winslet in HC. And Titanic.

Her face is so beautiful - if you met her in person she would take your breath away.

Does someone else think McAdams is lucky she dodged a bullet with Gosling. He is a complete nobody now, can't get a decent film role anymore and is still doing stupid PR stunts at Disneyland with Eva Mendes.

Rachel McAdams, who's her gf?

Just saw this film at the Toronto International Film Festival -- Weisz and McAdams have *amazing* chemistry (seriously), and their makeout/love scenes are hot. Both Rachels were great.

The movie itself was somewhat disappointing, though, with -- among other problems -- too much focus on the male character (Alessandro Nivola as a rabbi/McAdams' husband), IMO. It would have been better had the story really explored the women and their complex relationship, esp. McAdams' character, who's a deeply closeted lesbian struggling with her desires (not a spoiler, btw).

For someone upthread who asked, there isn't a trailer yet, and the film isn't slated for release until, I think, May or June 2018.

Thanks for the details, R46.

Happy to oblige, R47, as I was really looking forward to this one. Reviews for the film are now coming out, and seem to be positive on the whole (see link).

One correction: looks like there's no North American distribution plan/date yet.

I've been seeing movies with Rachel Weisz just because she's in them. I'll see this one, too, when I can.

Don't see the attraction r49.

R49, did you see My Cousin Rachel? I was interested , but didn't want to try and watch around that twitty guy. Livvie was in the first film version, with Burton.

R38, rumors are that you always want to take a pole.

[quote][R49], did you see My Cousin Rachel?

Yes. You didn't miss much. It was a pleasant way to spend time with friends, but not much more. "Twitty guy" = Sam Claflin?

What is your favorite Rachel Movie? The Constant Gardener? Did anyone besides me see The Shape of Things?

I have followed RW's career since the late 90s. I was a smitten teenager. She's always pretty good in everything.

I really liked "Agora," where she was the math genius in ancient Egypt. Not seen widely, but her performance and the story were compelling.

Also, "The Enemy at the Gates" too.

Btw, in case anyone is interested, there are several other lesbian dramas coming soon to theaters near you (these are all screening at TIFF this week):

* My Days of Mercy (Ellen Page and Kate Mara)

* A Worthy Companion (Evan Rachel Wood seducing a teenaged girl)

* Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote in a polyamorous relationship w/ Luke Evans, film directed by Angela Robinson)

* Thelma (Norwegian thriller about a lesbian college student with telekinetic powers)

Thanks, R55

Ellen Page and Kate Mara were good as Tiny Detectives

[quote]A Worthy Companion (Evan Rachel Wood seducing a teenaged girl)

Oh another disgusting gay/lesbian pedophile movie.

Nice R55, wish there were trailers!!

R57 LOL

You can look up the trailers on youtube, R58

I tried. I don't think the films have released trailers. They are still doing the festival circuit stuff.

I found trailers for all of them

My Days of Mercy (clip more than a trailer)

A Worthy Companion

Just saw "Professor Marston & the Wonder Women" (also at TIFF) and it was great – really interesting story, with fantastic chemistry between all three leads, especially so between the women. I enjoyed it much more than "Disobedience," likely because – even though it's pretty conventional and more tame – it was a tighter film overall, with stronger performances.

Sounds good, R65!

Oh, and here's the trailer...

Rachel M. is difficult to watch with the number of facial and neck moles. She gives Elizabeth Moss a run for her mole money. Get them zapped. Fucking moles.

Thanks for the heads up r55

Although not a big fan of ERW and that plot just sounds ridiculous.

McAdams is gay, right?

R70, the jury is out. Rumors and speculations, but no real proof.

Pretty sure the spitting means Weisz is a top.

In their interviews during TIFF, McAdams looks in love with Weisz.

April 2018 release in US. No trailer yet.

The trailer has finally been released...

Trailer looks amazing. Don't spoil it if you know but I hope it doesn't end depressingly, especially considering the tone of the trailer. They are hot together. I think every lesbian in the world is attracted to Weisz and about 99% to McAdams so yay! And, unlike a certain other current movie, they both look like adults so no pedo vibe.

Looks great! Quite titillating!

Damn had to watch that twice. Can't wait

Thanks for the clip, R73. Looks good!

I like lesbians. Heck, I was an honrary lesbian in college.

Why would she spit in her mouth?

Are Rachel W and James Bond in a lavender marriage?

McAdams always seems to look pretty in roles but every pic I’ve seen of her outside she looks fug.

McAdams isn’t attractive to me.

McAdams never even looks like the same person from photo to photo. It's like she's got a hallway of heads like Princess Mombi. Even her eyes change color. She's spooky.

Bump

Of course it's a love story; lesbian movies aren't capable of any other type of story telling.

Real stories are about dismemberment and explosions.

I do not find Rachel Weiss pretty at all. Very sharp features and a large nose. McAdams on the other hand has adorable dimples and a great smile and tight body with a great booty. Not sure if she is gay though.

I've always confused the two, not that they look alike but now my head will explode because they are in the same movie. They are actually going to be in love so this is even more of a mind fuck for me.

[quote]Wasn't Rachel recently in some lezzie film with Nomi Rapace that was a huge flop? Nice to see she hasn't given up on this genre yet.

Yes. A $25 million budget movie with a $1 million box office. The movies at r55 were all flops, too. People like lesbians on TV but not in the big screens, it seems. Or at least I can't think of a single lesbian movie that became a hit, "Carol" coming the closest.

Weisz is beautiful. She's a morph of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Camryn Diaz.

Weisz has an interesting look. I don’t see the appeal of McAdams.

I can't wait to see the movie, though. I wish it were Weisz and Andrea Riseborough.

R87, are you butch?

Weisz was never on my radar but McAdams sure was. She does look pretty dowdy in this film though (that's probably the point) and Weisz looks rather alluring. This should be hot.

Movie looks interesting.

Finally! The trailer looks GREAT.

Watching it makes me once again realize how rare it is to see gay relationships played out on the big screen. There is nothing good about being invisible, which is partly why I am so excited about this film.

That, and for the first time ever BOTH leads are extremely attractive. Rachel Weisz, my God. A total turn on.

We all know dyke movies flop and i bet one of the dykes dies at the end.

I wonder if people will like this more than Carol.

Trailer

has this movie come out yet?

Always thought McAdams had a bit of a dyke-y vibe. (I love her, btw.) She got the lesbian half-smile.

well the girl is bisexual and her ex lover is also with a man. If the movie is directed by a woman, they will more than likely be together. If its directed by a man then more than likely they won't be together. However, its about Jews and I have a fetish for Jewess', so I'll watch it-pirately.

R102 This is the only thing that annoys me a bit (as a lesbian) - that it's once again the same old "being with a man.. huge internal struggle.. (secretly) being with a woman.. probably going back to the man'-thing. They won't ever tire of the "forbidden love"-thing. I get it, it's more exciting for straights, but Jesus gimme actual gay people, ffs.

It’s based on a book by Naomi Alderman. I won’t give away the ending.

The director is male, and apparently he did a great job. There is a six minute sex scene that set the TIFF on fire — Rachel Weisz straddles McAdams and slowly lets spit drip into her mouth.

I agree R103 the whole ‘forbidden love’ thing is annoying. But for a sex scene that is supposed to be this good, I can definitely overlook it.

A six minute sex scene=director did a good job?

Damn, our standards are low. but lets be real, that sex scene is the only thing that will get butts in those seats.

6 minutes? Alright then. I was gonna watch it anyway but now I surely will. But damn.. who's into the spitting spit in someone's mouth thing? Am I being a prude?

well i have pissed in someone's mouth but not spit. And yes, sadly women tend to be prudes sexually especially lesbians.

Well I do love sex and have lots of it, but I'm just not into the whole spitting/pissing/shitting in/on somebody stuff. Not sure if that's prudish.

yeah lesbians tend to lack exploration in the bed R107. even getting them to partake in strap on sex is hard.

spoiler-it is a sweet ending but they dont...

I wont finish the sentence.

Well, I thought the sex in "Blue" was awful, so... Hell, I've seen Julianne Moore do better lesbian sex scenes than that.

I don't expect much.

R101 for me McAdams is a mystery. There are some interviews, pictures and even movies where she pings so hard and then other times she comes across like a typical boring straight chick with her boyfriends. Her taste in man baffles me....except Gosling.

[quote]The director is male, and apparently he did a great job.

Not really. I posted way upthread (back in September 2017) that I'd seen the film at TIFF and, while the actresses have fantastic chemistry, the director makes the movie more about the male character (Alessandro Nivola, who play's McAdams' rabbi husband) than the two women, which I found disappointing.

As for the epic love scene, I found it less powerful than the stolen-moments scenes the characters share beforehand. The spitting-in-the-mouth thing yanked me right out of the movie and made me wonder if that was the (male) director's idea of something (male) audiences would find hot. Most people I talked to who also saw the film had the same reaction I did -- that it was gratuitous and kind of gross.

R113 This is what I thought - the spitting must've been the idea of a man. I'm not judge-y at all, but this just isn't something most lesbians/women are into. Just because straight women let this happen when sleeping with a man doesn't mean they like it. IMO this has nothing to do with being prudish either.. it's a matter of preferences. Being prudish would mean you actually want it but don't dare to do it and I'm quite open minded in bed still I've yet to meet a woman who's into that.

Why can't a woman direct a movie about 2 women, Jesus. But nice to hear their chemistry is good at least!

Sorry, OP, I don't care about lesbians.

R114 because when women direct female on female romance movies, it doesn't sale. All of the movies that featured female on female relationships and did decent in the theatres were all directed by males. Men know how to use sex because what...sex sells especially if that sex is between two women and they want men to see the movie.

Even that movie that was directed by Angela something, that lesbian who worked on The L word, even her movie Professor Martson and the Wonder Woman bombed at the box office, and that movie not only was about Wonder Woman, but also a polygamous triad who created Wonder Woman(Professor Martson, the wife, and their live in girlfriend); not only that but it had A-List actors in it, but it still bombed!

R113 is absolutely right; however, I actually enjoyed the sex scene and I'm looking forward to watching that again. And as R115 "I don't care about lesbians" the reality is most people don't care about lesbians. They much rather sex bisexual women with men and experimenting, and fooling around with women, even proclaiming their love but at the end-well, you know.

*see

R116

I hope this movie doesn’t have a sad ending.

I was excited about the movie, so I read the book. Now I've lost my desire to see the film.

Oh, well.

I’ll probably watch the movie. Weisz is unconventional looking but she looks good.

Bump

Tabloids say McAdams is pregnant. Although not confirmed yet. I thought DL was convinced she is a dyke...

R122 She probably got inseminated.

Rachel McAdams is pregnant

But wait! The news is "problematic!"

Neither Rachels have any lesbian rumors. They both seem painfully straight but they have a hot chemistry in the trailer.

R126...its called acting.

We all know dyke movies flop and i bet one of the dykes dies at the end.

I wish we had so many hits like gay male movies.

r125, Like lesbians have never gotten preggers. If she is gay, she hates herself .

R129 "If she is gay, she hates herself ."

Why?

Because she is closeted dumbass

IMO Rachel W is bi as is 007. RW has had rumours from her university days that she was into women. Why would she have been looking for lesbian books and stories to bring to the screen? Do straight women do that? RM has had lesbian rumours about her for ages. These low profile actresses usually have a gf somewhere. Also she doesn’t play the Hollywood “suck a dick”game because she’s gay and wouldn’t do that to get a role like other straight actresses.

[quote]Why would she have been looking for lesbian books and stories to bring to the screen? Do straight women do that?

Actually - yeah, maybe. Actresses, especially those over 40, are always on the lookout for good roles, any good ones, since there are far fewer for them than there are for men. And a story about lesbians is going to be a story about WOMEN, of which there are pathetically few. I've never heard of Rachel W. being bi - she was known for fucking her male co-stars and directors back in the day, including Alessandro Nivola, with whom she's reunited in this. It was almost a bit of a joke, it happened so often.

The book is a mixed bag for sure, but Ronit and Esti are great roles for any actress. I can see why a straight actress would be attracted to the project.

Check out the DL thread Daniel Craig & his beard Rachel Weisz.

Rachel McAdams just gave birth.

RW dated Sam Mendes who is said to be bi.

Is it just me, or is Bleecker Street barely promoting this film?

It opens next week, but they've had the same trailer out there for months, and only one or two clips released. I believe it's supposed to be at the Tribeca festival so hopefully will get some mileage out of that.

Weisz married to 2 gay guys Craig and Aronofsky of course she's a lesbian

Rachel McAdams had movie sex with Jason Bateman, so I will be jealous of her until the day I die.

Rachel McAdams is canadian

Canadian = gay

She had a baby with her bf

R142 so?

So, she is not gay!

Lol! R144 are you for real? If a bi or lesbian wants a baby she can make this any way she wants. A dick isn’t even required. Tom Cruise has kids and he’s gay. Lesbian couples have kids. Anyway, this is a waste of time.....

Re: Tom Cruise Two are adopted and the other one biological, unless or until proven otherwise. So he only has 'fathered' one child.

weisz is pregnant, congrats

Disobedience has one of the best sex scenes of the year. Here's how Rachel Weisz helped edit the scene to make sure the characters were empowered

Tom and Holmes used surrogate and Holmes faked a pregnancy that's not so hard to understand Kidman and Jolie did the same thing.

OMG this movie is playing to packed theatres

[quote]I am all about Rachel Weisz.

Is there anything more loathesome than this jargony expression?

Here, let me answer that: No.

Mcadams had a lot of gay rumours in the early days. I think a lot of them came from Lainey? That was back in the day when she wasn’t full of shit. Definitely remember thinking she was very dykey back then. Weisz has too. I caught her eye at a premiere in London so I definitely believe she’s bi. She was dating that Neil guy who was a total perve. I reckon she’d be into threesomes with her male partner.

[quote That was back in the day when she wasn’t full of shit. ] [R152] Care to elaborate what you mean by that?

I don’t know what it is about Rachel McAdams, but she is so off putting to me. I can’t watch anything with her in it.

r154, did you watch her in True Detective? For that role, she got rid of her über-polite façade, which might be what you otherwise find repellent.

R153 I was referring to Lainey not Mcadams. It was far enough back that I can’t remember where I read about her being gay but a Canadian based site would make sense.

R152 Weisz been with at least 2 bi guys that I’ve read about, Aronofsky and Daniel Craig. I’ve heard before that they’re into threesomes so I think she definitely been with women before same as McAdams.

Weitz’s also had a relationship with bisexual director Sam Mendes.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

OP of course you're all about Rachel Weisz, with her hard face, neanderthal brow and and mannish features. MANNISH. Of course you do like Rachel McAdams, those big expressive eyes, soft pretty face.

[quote]OMG this movie is playing to packed theatres

Is it? It made less than $240,000 in 5 theaters over the weekend. CMBYN made something like $420K in 4 in its first weekend.

Personally I think this movie will play like Carol.

R162 in what way?

So has anyone actually seen this movie yet?

Someone on YouTube posted that the film has a 'more hopeful' ending than the book.

It’s a pretty open ended ending but most viewers say it’s a good film and rage ending is positive.

It’s taken nearly 700k in first 2 weeks at only a few theatres

I loved it!

Spitters are Quitters,!

Loved it.

The chemistry between the Rachels is good. They must have enjoyed the opportunity for some f/f kissing

What is the spitting scene about?

The sex scene is already online.

It's already gone where I live. I was going to see it Saturday.

[quote] What is the spitting scene about?

Weisz spits in McAdams mouth as they have sex. IIRC it's after she goes down on her. Think that champagne scene from My Beauitiful Laundrette (1:34) but with copious spit.

I haven’t seen the sex scene online.

I saw a trailer tonight. Alessandro Nivola plays the world's hottest Hasid.

R176 true! And the Rachels nail it.

[quote]I haven’t seen the sex scene online.

I've seen a clip of McAdams and Nivola getting undressed and preparing for bed, but not the sex scene.

The hot sex scene is f/f . Nivola McAdams sex scene is meh

Just saw it. Glad I didn't pay to see it.

The Rachels are great together but the spitting made gag. Barf!

The spitting just feels like something a man would write, not something two women like the ones presented in the film would actually do. It's not in the book. Both the director Sebastian Lelio and a female screenwriter, Rebecca Lenkiewicz, are credited with the script, and I would bet money that the spitting was Lelio's own addition.

I thought the film was interesting but somehow never quite clicked - which is the way I felt about the novel it's based on. I did appreciate the change in ending, though. The book's ending was one of its flaws IMO - I always got the impression that the author just sort of ran out of gas.

I never read the book and didn’t want to. I wanted the experience of the film without thinking about the book. I thought the commitment of the Rachels was what made the movie though. It was pretty authentic and the relationship was authentic. The spitting didn’t bother me because I’d read as kids Ronit had licked the blood of Esti’s scraped knee or something so their swapping fluids was their private kink.

I'll watch it when it's on Netflix.

[quote]The spitting just feels like something a man would write, not something two women like the ones presented in the film would actually do.

Rachel Weisz said she was the one who edited the sex scene.

Plus, gay and bi women are not vanilla like straight women. They tend to have the highest rates of participation in BDSM activities. And I know a study showing that queer women are as likely to take part in "water sports" as gay and bi men. So it could've been worse than the spitting, believe me.

Does anyone know how much did this movie cost to be made?

It has has made $3Mi in the box office so far, but it's hard to know whether this is good or bad because no budget information seems to be available.

It would have been much better if Rachel Mac's character was played by a Jewish actress. I didn't believe her, sadly. Too many movies with Mac recently and most of them terrible to see her in such a role.

Nicola's lowered voice was at times frustrating but he was very good.

Maggie G in the McAdams role would have been 1000 times better.

Disobedience had a 6 million dollar budget.

[quote]Funding Disobedience came naturally for Weisz’s team, who despite their Hollywood insider status are no stranger to small budgets, indie collaborations, and cobbling it all together. Element Pictures, Braven Films, Film4 Productions, and FilmNation Entertainment co-financed the $6 million production, which officially lists 15 individual producers.

Bim bam bump.

Well it makes Orthodox Judaism look like absolute hell, the only upsides being the tasty baked goods and the singing.

I’ll spoil the ending...

... Weisz returns to New York. Alessandro gives up his dream of becoming a Rabbi because he is married to a lesbian and because he is ultimately an ethical and honest man, sets he McAdams free. McAdams both loves her community and decides to be honest about her sexuality to her husband, so pregnant to Alessandro, she sleeps on the sofa and with his blessing plans to move out to live as a single gay mother and remain being an Orthodox Jewish schoolteacher.

I don't think this movie is faring very well in the box office. It has only made $3.4 million despite having been released 1.5 month ago. That is less than 60% of its production budget.

The director is the same guy who made A FANTASTIC WOMAN, which won the foreign film Oscar this year.

I thought the script was very uneven, but all three leads are excellent. One poster complained about the amount of focus on Nivola's character, but the story is truly a triangle, and he is excellent. I've been lukewarm about McAdams, but she's exceptional here.

Coming to video/streaming in July.

Love McAdams, she emotes beautifully. Rachel Weisz looks like a Neanderthal mated with the Sun Maid raisins chick.

The entire time I was watching this movie I was thinking, "I've seen this movie already!"

So if you want to watch a much better movie with a similar plot, watch Circumstance (2011).

R196 There is a version with gay men as well.

Eyes Wide Open is available now as a Prime Video. I'm going to watch it in between episodes of Goliath.

r197 Starring Ran Danker, who's bi in real life.

As for Disobedience, it's turning out to be a disappointment. Domestically, it has made only $3.4 mil, slightly more than half its production budget, and numbers are getting worse.

R200 it’s only just gone to Australia and barely hit Europe and hast got to Asia yet. There are thousands and thousands of bi and lesbian women around the world who are waiting for this movie. We are linked on websites and eagerly await lesbian movies so when it shows in theatres outside of the USA, goes to streaming, dvds, etc sales will pick up.

It’s made it’s $6m so far

Looks lame.

It's daily domestic box office performance has not been updated in almost two weeks. Is it not running in America anymore?

It's already on streaming/dvd here, R204.

[quote] Rachel M. is difficult to watch with the number of facial and neck moles. She gives Elizabeth Moss a run for her mole money. Get them zapped. Fucking moles.

I agree. She's a wonderful actress and captivating in this film, but I was so distracted by her moles, most especially the big one on the side of her face near her ear.

I don’t find Rachel McAdams to be a great actress. There is no good reason for her to receive an Oscar nomination forbSpotlight, for instance, other than her general popularity. She is good in this because the role plays off her loveliness. She’s a lovely woman, one women find beautiful and men want to marry. But she did not convince me as to why she would remain faithful to ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Other than that she worked at a good school and the singing was marvellous, as a community was factional, hard and aggressive.

This is going to sound blasphemous but Rachel Weisz l at least a decade too old to play her role. I’m not saying she’s not pretty, thin, or that she isn’t hotter than almost all women her age, she’s all that. But there’s no reason why a woman pushing 50 would be as immature and destructive personally amd sexually as she is other than her being really regressive and mentally ill. Though as a producer she gets first dibs on the role. If they really wanted to cast a Jew (and half the cast weren’t) someone like Natalie Portman or Eva Green would be more age appropriate.
