Thread worthy? Old?

Miles Quaritch · Feb 3, 2015

I support this.

Wreck-It Ralph · Feb 3, 2015

Never heard of her. Do we have any idea who she's going to play?

New to me. Hell yeah it's thread worthy. She's a great actress. Her performance in The Theory of Everything was striking.

Raxus · Feb 3, 2015

...I'm ok with this.

No, I'm GREAT with this.

Lyonaz · Feb 3, 2015

She was great in the Theory of Everything, I approve.

Also she is pretty, oh so pretty.

Miles Quaritch · Feb 3, 2015

I'm just glad it's not Rooney Mara.

Blader · Feb 3, 2015

She's fine, I just would have really preferred Tatiana or Mara.

CassidyIzABeast · Feb 3, 2015

I would have preferred Lisbeth Salander.

Peru · Feb 3, 2015

Mara would be interesting, per default she would've brought something different to the character. Felicity might as well though, we'll see.

Why not? She shits and can play multilayered, complex characters pretty well as proven in Dragon Tattoo and Side Effects

Kinyou · Feb 3, 2015

Isn't she also very likely Black Cat in Amazing Spiderman? Wonder if she might also get a spin-off movie there.

I just can't stand her. She was half way decent in Side Effects though, but that wasn't exactly a particularly good movie...

Well so long as her bowels are working properly, she's more than halfway to respectability.

BLACKLAC · Feb 3, 2015

Tatiana Maslany would have been a better pick.

Discotheque · Feb 3, 2015

Rooney Mara shits better and acts better than the other two for sure

Elchele · Feb 3, 2015

Star Wars spin-off?

She's obviously the real Boba Fett.

Nikodemos · Feb 3, 2015

Rooney Mara could make a great Sith Lady.

anaron · Feb 3, 2015

Tatiana

They're doing a few movies outside of the main saga for characters like yoda and boba fett

arts&crafts · Feb 3, 2015

Felicity JONES! My celebrity crush

Cream · Feb 3, 2015

Tatiana and Rooney to be sith sisters as villains

Kinyou · Feb 3, 2015

Babarella Fett

Jigorath · Feb 3, 2015

Maslany just can't catch a break.

I'm cool with this.

JaseMath · Feb 3, 2015

And Aaron Paul might be opposite of her. That would be fucking alright with me.

I'd be ok with that
Heck I'd be ok with everything

Discotheque · Feb 4, 2015

edgar ramirez will probably be the boba fett. prequels had him played by a new zealander and hispanics are more similar looking to them than aaron paul

edit: "should" play him, not "probably". my bad.

Shaanyboi · Feb 4, 2015

Good for her.

Is she proven on the big screen yet though? That's often a deciding factor in these things.

Aselith · Feb 4, 2015

She was good in her role in Hysteria. Only thing I remember seeing her in. I don't remember her in ASM2 at all.

Edit Oh wait no I saw the Tempest too don't really remember how she did in that though.

OrlanisWorks · Feb 4, 2015

All I know about her is that she was great in a seriously tear-jerking movie and she's pretty as hell.

This could be very good. I like such potential.

I don't think that's much of a factor at all anymore, really.

Really? There was another Gaf thread which was militant about it being a big factor in casting. Especially for potential blockbusters.

IdreamofHIME · Feb 4, 2015

Sounds so good

Star Wars usually has relatively unknown leads.

Yup.

For example, the female lead of The Force Awakens is making her motion picture debut in that movie

She also did a quite dreadful simil Harry Potter rotten budget teen show called WeirdSisters College. I soldiered through that crap because she was the prettiest college girl ever

kurahador · Feb 4, 2015

Should've been Idris Elba.

CassidyIzABeast · Feb 4, 2015

Its a star wars movie. If you can do a badass face, an indifference face, and be in good enough shape to swing a sword on occasion you're an eligible candidate.

Timbuktu · Feb 4, 2015

Am I right in thinking all of the young cast in the new films are English, apart from Driver?

Gambit 1138 · Feb 4, 2015

im glad its not that orphan black girl

shame about Rooney Mara though...hopefully she'll get her break in the Star Wars universe someday

The Bookerman · Feb 4, 2015

I'd marry that chick in a snap.

Downhome · Feb 4, 2015

Man, this girl.

My wife picked a random movie to watch a few weeks ago on Netflix and she picked a little flick called Chalet Girl. The movie was just ok, a little comedy when a nice cast, tons better than I anticipated. Anyway, the star was this girl, Felicity Jones. It was my first time really seeing her, and I was just blown away by her. I was instantly a fan of hers, and I'll always follow her career.

I mean, REALLY PEOPLE...

She is also an amazing actress, just wonderful to watch on screen. Se is going to be big, big, big.

Is she also witty?

Imm0rt4l · Feb 4, 2015

Aw I thought they already casted Tatiana Maslany.

UberTag · Feb 4, 2015

I'm a big Felicity Jones fan.
Can also recommend her performance in The Invisible Woman with Ralph Fiennes.
I don't even like period flicks as a rule and was captivated by her in that one.

Oh Rooney was in the running? I would have preferred her (I have heard good things about Tatiana).
