Only having the chance to catch her in Superbad and Zombieland, I’m not yet comfortable saying that she is on the verge of becoming a huge star, but Great Scott! – Emma Stone possesses all of the qualities. Besides being gorgeous, she has a natural confidence balanced out by her girl-next-door vulnerability and quirkiness – and despite not having caught her in a role of substance, she seems to be far more competent of an actress than most of the females in Hollywood these days.
Her latest film may prove to showcase her talent. Co-starring an impressive cast that includes Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Malcolm McDowell, Thomas Haden Church, Amanda Bynes, and Lisa Kudrow, Easy A is the story of a straight-laced high school girl who embraces the rumors going around that she is just a little more than promiscuous, immediately bolstering her social standing with the popular guys and causing resentment among many of her high school’s girl. While sounding rather cliche, the trailer shows plenty of promise that it will not be just another poorly-written teen sex comedy.
I’m on board. The film hits theaters on September 17, 2010.
Note: I hereby call for her casting as Mary Jane in the new Spider-Man reboot.
Wow! Stone looks awesome in this. Really awesome. The supporting cast here is bloody awesome. I’m actually excited for this, looks like a much smarter version of clueless, with the literary cred. to match.
Yeah, no kidding. I am shocked at how good this looks. Great cast and looks to be a little biting. Hopefully it is as fresh as the trailer.
She also has Paper Man with Jeff Daniels and Ryan Reynolds coming out and she is in the process of filming a comedy with Steve Carrel, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon. This could very well be her breakout year.
I hope it is her breakout year – Johnathan called it, she really has that confidence on screen. Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci as her Mom and Dad? Absolutely on board.
