Taylor Swift offered Les Miserables role– I DETEST.

I have no idea what Les Miserables is about or what the story’s based on and all but I’m perfectly sure it has something to do with great singing and great acting but unfortunately, Hollywood can’t seem to recall what Les Miserables is all about…. I mean, I’ve never watched the musical, I’ve only heard a couple of great songs from it, but WHY in the world would they want to cast the fragile, and obviously not too talented Taylor Swift for a role such as this big? There are some decent songs from Taylor, I’m sure, and she’s not exactly that BAD in acting but seeing that she beat Lea Michele, Evan Rachel Wood, and Scarlett Johansson to the role for Eponine in the movie is a bad enough choice. And something’s definitely fishy around here! Oh wait… no. It’s the smell of money and more MONEY ! Has Hollywood come to this point where in they’d have to take advantage of the naive minded teeny boppers kids of this generation just to cash in a couple of more millions rather than actually working for those millions?! If they really wanted more money, they could have just simply cast the blatantly talented Lea Michele and then blazam! millions on your doorsteps the next morning (that is hypothetically speaking).  But NOOO. They just lowly opt for instant money from Taylor’s huge fan club which consists of hardly any appropriate ages. I’m pretty sure the movie’s going to be somewhere in the range of R 13 or PG 13 but it’s most certainly not going to be in the range of GENERAL PREVIEW. And to think that most of her fans are hardly in their pre-teen state!

I’d much rather have cash in my doorstep– and so what if a hobo takes a couple of stacks– than take money from the atrocious monsters that comprise of Taylor Swift’s “LITTLE” fan club because I know in my right mind that she obviously doesn’t have the potential to “shine” –or however you want to call it–  in playing this role.

Personally, I wasn’t even planning on watching this movie when I first heard about it but then seeing the new circumstances, ummm…. I’m going to MAKE SURE I don’t watch it because by the time the movie ends or maybe even just half way, I’ll be heading directly out through the cinema doors. Waste of money, waste of time, and waste of even thinking about it. Hollywood has just succumbed to being even more ridiculous. Great job, Hollywood! Well deserved.

I could just imagine if Lea Michele and Taylor Swift had a little “red-carpet” bump in during a movie premiere and it would go like this:

"Excuse me, Taylor SWIFT, I heard you got the role of Eponine in Les Miserables (smiles fakely) and I just want to congratulate YOU for it (even if I was suppose to get it) but congratulations anyway!"

"Look, they just gave offered it to me, okay?"

  

"Is that so? I heard they were just using you to get more viewers from your teen bopper kid fans. More money. Less talent. Yay."

"They just gave it to me...."

NOTE: Any similarities to the real star’s personalities are highly and purely coincidental because they never really said that. Actually no, they really did. No, they didn’t. So people, please don’t attack me.

After that conversation, I bet Taylor’s going to have a new hit single after that…. They Picked Me…..

New publicity, blah blah blah and the same story goes on and on and on…… Till her next role, teeny boppers!

Oh, and this is just some random portion of this post which I decided to include (couldn’t help it). It contain quotes from different people who have the same objections such a mine so prepare to maybe… nod your heads intensely to agreement and say ‘amen’. Or even  laugh out loud or as some of you teeny bopper kids if any of you are reading this– and maybe still don’t want to strangle me right now–you could LOL. You know, ‘LOL’ like how you love to call it these days.

“Taylor Swift has no depth to play Eponine, the girl can’t act and can’t belt. In fact, she can’t even sing her own songs. I had hopes in this movie although Anne Hathaway is in this and Russel Crowe is no Javert but are they seriously expecting this to be an Oscar contender with this casting? Plus, I love Amanda but she can’t open a movie. It’s obvious that they gave it to Taylor because they want the money from her fans. This is laughable.” – Mel

“well if this is true this is one more movie I will not see.” – Pickles

“I think Lea deserves it, I mean she’s done it before! that’s gotta count for something right? I like Taylor but i think is not her game.. Not her music.
And Amanda, I’m a HUGE fan, I really hope she takes it!” – Pgste

“Sorry, but I find BOTH Amanda and Taylor annoying as hell. Swift can’t act, and only sings one twangy kind of song. Seyfried is just so overrated. Just so disappointed; definitely won’t be seeing this. They threw quality away for money. Disgusting. ” – Maria

“And now “On My Own” will join the decayed carcass of every song about unrequited love that’s been stomped beneath Taylor Swift’s cowboy boots.

I kid, but I hope they’re either joking about this or REALLY know what they’re doing.” – The Butterfly Hunter

“Taylor Swift anywhere near a Tony-winning musical is a joke. The studio was going for stunt casting, just like Kristen Stewart for Snow White and the Huntsman. The studio is hoping Swift’s fans will put butts in the seats, thus driving up box offfice returns.” – Aquarius64

“One of the worst casting decisions ever.” – Tom

“So they have an amazing story, an amazing cast and want to ruin it by casting TAYLOR SWIFT? Seriously?! I mean, these are all rumours, but still.
Lea can sing (I know Amanda and Evan can, I just don’t know if they are good enough) and she’s played Eponine before (on Broadway I think) so…
Yeah, I thought it was going to be FANTASTIC but Taylor Swift… NO.” – Jacqueline

“I am no fan of Glee by ANY means, but I would take Lea Michelle over Taylor F!*#@ing Swift any damn day of the week. At least Lea has a background in theatre. Taylor Swift should not be anyone except Taylor Swift… and she should barely be that.” – Wickedsngr

So what’s your comment on Taylor Swift playing this Eponine? Because if I were anyone else anyway, I’d say it’s a terrible mistake to have cast her in the first place.
