Anne Hathaway Disappoints Beaks

Anne Hathaway has erred.  Following a banner 2005 in which the immensely talented young actress acquitted herself capably in Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain and launched a million downloads with her, ahem, daring performance as a bored rich girl in Barbara Kopple’s Havoc, she seemed destined to join the ranks of the blessed by agreeing to costar with Seth Rogen in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up as a chick who gets an unplanned bun in the oven after a one-night stand.  Seriously, given my predilections, had they found a supporting role for Kurt Russell and hired Jon Brion to do the score, this had the potential to be the greatest film ever made.

 

But now the bloom is ever so slightly off, as Ms. Hathaway has inexplicably ankled the project due to that dreaded impediment known as “creative reasons”.  Not to overreact, but this is deeply poopy.  Though Hathaway has been replaced by the adorable Katherine Heigl, who was miraculously not blown off the screen by Steven Seagal or Morris Chestnut in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, the agony of what should’ve been threatens to detract from my enjoyment of the first-ever Seth Rogen vehicle.  Why… Anne… had to go, I don’t know, she hasn’t satisfactorily said.  Did Judd… say… something wrong, and now he’ll long for yesterday?  Christ, I’m a wreck.

 

Knocked Up is scheduled to begin shooting next month, and I’m sure it’ll be wonderful without that ungrateful tart Hathaway.  Still, looking out my window today, I can’t help but notice that the sky’s a little less blue, the grass a little less green and the neighbor’s basketball hoop a little less regulation in the wake of this tragic development.  Inside, I feel…

 

 

And, yes, I know I’m recycling from my blog.
