So, apparently folks are going after Natalie Portman for a role about a woman on her own in space. I can see that, but isn't there a more obvious candidate with an amazing extant audition tape?
This is no slam on Portman, who I like, even if I think she's made some truly disastrous choices and turned in some inexplicable performances (in the cosmic scale, I'm not sure which is worse: foisting the manic pixie dream girl on us, or Padme). I would just like to see Hendricks make it to the big screen in something where she isn't killed off early on for the purposes of getting Katherine Heigel and Josh Duhamel together. They're not worth it. And Hendricks can pick up and carry anything she wants.
