Bette Davis and Joan Crawford to FEUD on FX... — Page 2

This is just too gay...even for me.

Not if you're going to continue posting your highly juvenile and extremely nauseating gifs. #gifssuck #sorrynotsorry

Well color me intrigued. It has long been speculated that Sarandon would play Davis in a biopic. Or that there would be some sort of movie about "the movie" (Whatever Happened to Baby Jane). I guess this is it.

I'll reserve opinions for when I see the first glimpses of them all done up in hair and make up, but I don't think Lange nor Sarandon really resemble their counterparts.

Lange seems frail, and smaller in stature whereas Crawford was a taller, more statuesque presence. Even though she's taken the train to crazy town, I always thought Sean Young in her hayday could do Joan justice.

And Davis was the smaller one, while Sarandon is statuesque and buxom.

IMHO.

Will be VERY interesting to see how this plays out.

Lange opened up to Newsday about playing Joan Crawford while promoting "Long Day's Journey Into Night".

It seems as if she may even have had the option of playing Bette or Joan.

*One last thing — Sarandon vs. Lange — in “Feud”? Brilliant casting.*

LANGE: It’s a very interesting story. And . . . Crawford. I love anybody who comes from hard knocks. She came outta some backwater place in Texas. No education. Scrappy. It should be great. When I finish the play I’ve got two months to research. There are so many things I have to learn about her.

*I can see you in either role. Are you more Joan than Bette?*

LANGE: I think so. When I first read the script years ago, it was Crawford that drew me in. Now we have to figure out how to make me look like her. I don’t want it to be camp. It’s going to be tricky. You know, when I was doing Big Edie in “Grey Gardens,” the way into that character for me was her voice. Every day on set, in my trailer I’d listen to Big Edie’s voice in the documentary over and over. As soon as I had the voice, things fell into place.

*Think you’ll find Crawford the same way?*

LANGE: Maybe . . . maybe . . . We’ll have to see.

The theory is they're setting up season 2 for the de Havilland/Fontaine feud.

I'll watch it - - - I'd watch Sarandon read the phone book.

God, I love that woman.

Can we please do this WITHOUT Susan Sarandon? I have loved her all my life, but I never want to see her again after her toxic contributions to the current presidential election.

She is not just crazy. She is despicable.

I agree with Pal Joey, I would be happy never seeing or hearing from Susan Sarandon again.

I love Susan Sarandon. She doesn't cower down and sticks to her convictions. She's not afraid to voice her opinions for fear of pissing people off. I may not see eye to eye on some of her political beliefs but I do believe she has a right to them. I can separate the professional from the personal.

I think she's a brilliant actress. I have nothing but love for her.
