I'm disappointed in her for doing something like The Carrie Diaries.

I realize it's inane fluff - if I don't like Sex And The City, I'm not going to like a show which features a younger version of the same central character. However, she may have really needed the money. You can't expect the poor girl to turn it down and starve on the street if she really needed the money.

Maybe she's a fan of the show, or just thought it would be a fun role, or saw it as a chance for exposure to a different audience... Just because you obviously aren't into it (nor am I, incidentally), doesn't mean someone would only take the role out of sheer desperation.

totally agree about the Sex and the City thing! big disappointment she would do something like that so early in her career after having such solid performances in The Reaping and Soul Surfer.

She blew up into a giant blueberry in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, and she lost her arm in this film.

At least in Charlie..., she looks almost back to normal with additional body flexibility at the end. She loses her arm while surfing in Soul Surfer, she gets orphaned when both her parents drown in a boating accident in Samantha: An American Girl Holiday, and she actually falls in a creek, hits her head and drowns in Bridge to Terabithia. Her worst luck is with water!

I am curious as to how the Carrie Diaries will explain how Carrie Bradshaw went from Annasophia's round face to the horse face of SJP. Maybe, in the final episode, Carrie gets her head caught in a revolving door.

That would explain the head.

But, not the bustline.

Not to mention that in "Bridge To Terabithia" she DIES!!

reply

[–] timothy-5 12 years ago

What happens to her in it? You have to mark it with SPOILER ALERT if you tell me.

reply

[–] timothy-5 12 years ago

She died in it, but they didn't show her die in it. So she didn't have to experience an unpleasant death scene on camera.

reply

[–] spbotten 11 years ago

not to mention she was possessed by the devil and the whole city wanted to kill her in The Reaping, with Hilary Swank.

reply

[–] timothy-5 11 years ago

Swank. Well, the one good thing is that she probably chewed sugarless gum in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and didn't get any cavities. The original Violet, Denise Nickerson, had to chew gum all day (probably 12 hours a day) before sugarless gum and had many cavities that the dentist had to fill after the shooting was over.

Lost her mother, had a strange name, was friends with a bunch of weirdos, etc in 'Because of Winn Dixie'. Topping the list is having to listen to Dave Matthews sing. Poor kid.

She's way luckier than Sean Bean, just sayin'.

reply

[–] timothy-5 10 years ago

How come Sean Bean is unlucky? And is he unlucky in real life, on in the films +/or plays +/or TV shows he's in?

reply

[–] phantomF-12 10 years ago

Unlucky in his films and TV shows, since you were saying that AnnaSophia Robb is unlucky in hers.

reply

[–] timothy-5 10 years ago

OK I understand. I don't go to the movies or watch too much TV, except channel surfing and The Suze Orman Show and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. So I haven't really seen anything he's been in. What terrible things happened to him? You don't have to tell me everything - just 3 or 4 of them is ok.

The onscreen deaths of Sean Bean

Caravaggio (1986): throat cut
War Requiem (1989): shot in the hand and bayonetted
Lorna Doone (1990): drowned in a mire
The Field (1990): chased off a cliff by a herd of cows
Tell Me That You Love Me (1991): self inflicted stabbing
Clarissa (1991): stabbed by a rapier
Patriot Games (1992): impaled on a boat anchor and blown up
Scarlett (1994): stabbed
GoldenEye (1995): crushed by a burning antenna
Airborne (1998): shot
Essex Boys (2000): shot
LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring (2001): shot by arrows
Don't Say a Word (2001): buried alive
Equilibrium (2002): shot
Henry VIII (2003): hung by chains
The Island (2005): shot through the neck with a grappling hook and hung
Far North (2007): frozen, while naked
The Hitcher (2007): shot
Outlaw (2007): shot
Red Riding: The Year of our Lord, 1973 (2008): shot

Death Race (2010): shot
Ca$h (2010): shot
Game of Thrones - Season 1 (2011): beheaded

When one sees Sean Bean in the cast list, it's almost certain that his character will encounter an early demise.

Notable exceptions:
Sharpe (1993-2008)
Troy (2004) portrays Odysseus, who I guess most know does not die in Homer's Iliad.
Silent Hill (2006) incredibly he survives a horror movie, and appears in the sequel.
Mirror Mirror (2012) he goes missing, transformed into a beast, returns.

Sean Bean and AnnaSophia Robb supposedly both are set to appear in Pan. This should prove to be interesting.

Pan (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0775521/board/), or whatever it will be titled, sounds awesome and I feel AnnaSophia would do a great performance (as usual) as the described Wendy, "a young girl who escapes from Pan and teams with the police to help catch him." -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2446483/news?year=2011

She's way luckier than Sean Bean, just sayin'.

Appears true, however, there's a notable difference in regard to sympathy, Sean's character's are typically villains, a person that people normally want to see punished. In contrast, AnnaSophia's roles have been aspiring and lovable characters.

Lastly, the Pan project has been "in development" for years, so most of us have no solid knowledge or even guess as to when/if it will see the public's eyes.

Yet the two roles the vast majority of people will associate him with are:
- Boromir in Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
- Ned Stark in Game of Thrones

A circumstance that has become so well embedded in his character portrayals not even Sean can let it go.
