Armie Hammer IS John Dean! another freaking Watergate project is coming

Go away Armie!

"So-and-so IS so-and-so" always makes me laugh. I wonder what the very first one was.

I don't recall Harriet Tubman being involved in Watergate.

That's not bad casting for Martha Mitchell. She was a former beauty queen, lively personality, married to an iceberg like John Mitchell, very unhappy. Julia Roberts could pull that off pretty well.

This man is as irrelevant as the baking soda. Both are stuck in the 1990s with their hair and plastic teeth. Lmao that he’s doing tv miniseries now.

Limited series are the new black baby. Where have you been?

R6 lmao it’s tv and not even picked up yet. He’s going to ruin whatever trash it is anyway. Look at his bug flick or that RBG tv crap. Haaaha

Bombs away!!!

Chrissy Metz can play the Watergate.

Not a fan of Armie Hammer. I don't understand how someone can be 6'5" yet have no stage presence.

Julia as The Mouth of the South.

Ain't it the truth!

Excellent casting. Armie grows as an actor every year. Love the guy. He'll be around for a long time. Fuck the haters.

Hate Amie's acting but I'll hate fuck him anytime.

Don't forget "Southern."

R12 he can't act. This will suck like any project which features him.

You know Julia Roberts is going to be absolutely intolerable in this.

The boomers' stranglehold on Hollywood needs to end and end now.

Yawwwwwwwn

Julia has an atrocious southern accent. For some reason, actors from the South speak with awful accents when portraying southerners.

Miss Julia Roberts will nail both Sean who she's previously had and devour Armie's hammer before this is all over.

How tall is John Dean? Was Jeremy Strong not available?

I can't see Julia Roberts as Martha Mitchell.

Sean Penn looks nothing like John Mitchell. Julia's acting will be her wig.

The real question is: Who will play Mo Dean?! (Never mind; undoubtedly Margot Robbie.)

Does La Roberts really cheat on that crew member husband?

I'm actually intrigued by this. Anyone know when it's being released?

The podcast it's based on is actually quite good. But I totally expect Penn and Roberts to devour the material and play it to the furtherest balcony and seats in any home. The only saving grace is the creator who actually contained our Julia to some of her best work in Homecoming.

Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. No thanks. Pass.

R27 Roberts and Penn are both DL icons. You can't pass on all that pointless bitchery sure to ensue

this will never be made

Hasn’t he given up yet? He’s not even good enough for the second lead in a Lifetime TV movie.

Shirley Maclaine wanted to play Martha for years.

You mean Meryl Streep has not called her agent and DEMANDED to play Martha? I could see Jessica Chastain pulling this off. Or Melissa McCarthy.

John Dean is a convicted felon. People are still trying to whitewash him to give him some credibility. It’s ridiculous to have Armie Hammer play him. It should be a character actor who plays villains.

Armie Hammer IS a character actor who plays villains

r34, exactly

That hulk playing mousey little John Dean??? And Julia's already played one Southern big-mouth in "Charlie Wilson's War." Sean Penn as John Mitchell? No, just no. Terrible casting.

Armie's problem is that his only real skill is being attractive, and yet despite that he refuses to take his clothes off for a movie or show. I think the only nudity he's ever done was that blurry three second long clip in CMBYN.

Rule #1 of Hollywood: you can't be pretty AND a prude if you want to have a successful career. If your only talent is looking good you better be prepared to show that ass off, or else you can enjoy doing Claritin commercials for the rest of your life.

Terrible casting all around.

And yes, Roberts was known for fucking crew members on all of her shoots. That's how she met her husband, who was married to his first wife.

So what, r33? So is Martha Stewart. At least Dean came over to the good side long ago.

Meryl Streep was meant to play Martha years ago in "Dirty Tricks"

Martha Mitchell does not have a Wikipedia entry.

Awful casting for Martha.

Michelle Williams could do it better than Julia. Hell, Busy Phillips could do it better than Julia.

The ultimate casting for Martha was Diane Ladd in 1995's Nixon. She had to drop out and Madeline Kahn took over (who was good but not spot-on).
