Cynthia Erivo: new queen of Hollywood ?

She’s the headlining star of one of the biggest films of the year, about the receive her second Best Actress nomination, and has a voice as powerful as Whitney and Aretha’s.

Isn’t she the next Margot Robbie or Julia Roberts? If not, please explain.

She’s as ugly as a mud fence.

by Anonymousreply 2November 29, 2024 3:44 PM

Purposefully visually antagonistic and preachy. She'll have these 2 Wicked films and then struggle.

She did this to herself.

Her comments about the edited poster - her bizarre earthy woman interviews - she walks around with a huge chip on her shoulder, and nobody likes that.

Nobody finds her wardrobe stunts amusing or even attractive or flattering. I don't understand what statement she's trying to make her, but it's not a good one.

Bitch please. Aretha had a warmth in her voice in addition to the incredible range. Erivo's voice has a lot of power but it's steely and cold. I listened to both cast albums of THE COLOR PURPLE and I prefer LaChanze's voice to Erivo's.

No one’s heard of Mikey Madison or Karla Sofia Gascon. Kidman and Jolie are in small, forgettable movies.

Erivo should win this year.

I actually like her. She isn’t nearly insufferable as DL makes her out to be. And that clip, I wish I could find it, it with the genuine awe of how queer people were reacting to this film is very touching. And she actually does what most celebs won’t and that is apologize when they’re wrong after the whole poster fiasco. She seems a bit over the top but a true artist should never be regular.

Twenty, no thirty(!), years ago Hollywood had real movie stars and names like Cruise, Hanks, and Roberts were legit royalty. Today, there are NO movie stars. Sheep audiences only flock to the theaters for (1) sequels (2) adaptations or remakes with huge IP or (3) a Nolan movie.

Erivo is a prime example of how a star can headline and carry a blockbuster, and not benefit for it at all.

Isn't the movie underperforming?

I was reading that it had a budget of $150 million, so needs to gross $500 million before it starts being profitable.

So far, it's grossed $264 million total (stateside/foreign).

R32 The film just came out last weekend. It’s almost at double its profit. This movie is huge. And who taught you studio math. As long as it breaks 300 mill, it’s a success. But more importantly this is only its 2nd weekend out and it’s already close at 280 mil.

Lets hope not. Like many black brits, was caught saying nasty things unprovoked about black Americans but will now make a living playing black Americans. Very annoying. Don't like non-Americans in general in Hollywood. so many have been caught saying shady and dismissive things about the USA but profiting off said country.

by Anonymousreply 38December 1, 2024 3:40 AM

I don't know about her anti-American rhetoric (or lack thereof). I'm just severely put off by her holier-than-thou attitude, victimization route and her rude demeanor.

Not to mention, her Twinorexia with Ariana Grande. And their stupid sob-fest and word salad/stupid phraseology during their press tour.

This is a FANTASY pic, it's not meant to be taken so seriously, and they are making much more of it than they should. And Ariana saying that everyone was in the closet because L. Frank Baum used the term "queer" (which didn't mean what it does now) in the original script. What an absolute mental midget.

The two of them are vomit-inducing.

I like her. Brits always have a certain level of class even when they're cunts. She probably had a complex as far as looks that's why she acted like that in regards to the fanfare film posters. She apologized. What else did she do so bad? And her and Ari's friendship seems to be genuine. They have great chemistry during those interviews. I am probably not going to see this until it hits streaming however.

I can't think of too many Aussie actors who have done this. But Brits can't help themselves - saying negative awful stuff and then laugh it off - "oh I'm just taking the piss" - but just try and say one thing critical of England and they lose their fucking minds.

[quote][R38] - completely agree about non-American actors bitching and criticizing America. But usually it's always Brits. Brits love to talk shit and say negative stuff about America, it a favorite pastime activity.

Progressives are Anglophiles, for some reason, which is why ever since they took over Hollywood in the past 15 years or so, there's been an influx of British and British-adjacent actors (Aussie, Irish, Kiwi, Canadian) in American films/TV.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that progressives are unpatriotic and despise their own countrymen and would prefer to cast a foreigner, preferably a Brit, to play an American than hire an actual one.

In recent years, there's been a lot of discrimination in Hollywood (California) and Broadway (New York) against Americans, in general -- and Christians and Conservatives, in particular.

But I think all of that will be coming to an end soon enough, as these Progressives get run out of the country and "America First" becomes the national mantra.

I've also noticed online people are hating the Brits for trying to tamper with the election, because their leaders sent people over to help out Kamala.

(The Brits know that with the Democrats in power, they can manipulate them to do whatever they want, unlike Republicans, who are not Anglophilic in the least.)

Anyway, as that fact becomes more widely known, I'm afraid Brits will find themselves personas non grata in Trump's America.
