Daisy Edgar-Jones to lead BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL film — Page 2

Which has been commonly done in biographical films about musicians before. See Jamie Foxx in Ray, Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose, and Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody. Then again, it would a bit disappointing if that ends up being the case here since every single actress who played Carole King on stage did all of their own singing.

I'm glad Cholodenko is doing this. She's no dum-dum and lord knows the Beautiful book needs all the help it can get.

You are ignorant."

And you’re a moronic idiot who looks even more stupid going out of the way to comment on EVERY ONE OF MY POSTS! Regardless what it is.

“Jamie Foxx and Rami Malek did their own singing.”



we need to increase access to dementia medication.

Jamie Foxx did not sing in Ray which has always been a bit surprising to me. The man sings AND does impressions. His impression of Ray on Gold Digger by K*nye is exceptional when you listen to what his singing voice usually sounds like.

Very talented - but I wish the big break went to a Broadway actor....

I really enjoyed the show (it is definitely one of the stronger jukebox musicals out there), and I'm looking forward to seeing this film, as I think it has strong potential.

I am concerned about the casting, though. Is this girl's voice really up to it? I hope so, as I'm sick and tired of seeing musical films ruined by bad casting - Emma Watson's dreadful Belle (where every note sounds as though it's had to be autotuned) was particularly poor, while Russell Crowe's drunken Australian white trash take on Javert (complete with atrocious, weak singing) was just embarrassing.

I hope directors have learnt a thing or two from Spielberg about how to translate a musical spectacularly for the screen.

Now that Daisy is gone, who should play Carole?

They should get a Jewish actress next time

Emilia Jones would be a great pic, though with some tweaks Sara Bareillis could do great work.

I was thinking someone like Talia Suskauer if they go with a Broadway actress

Her quote makes it sound like the movie itself isn’t happening, not that she dropped out. “They decided not to pursue it.”
