Jon Favreau are you listening? Eliza Dushku wants to be in “Iron Man 2” and she doesn’t care if fellow actor Emily Blunt basically already has the role, if she wants it /can manage it. She told Howard Stern today:
“They’re doing ‘Iron Man 2,’ and I’m so perfect for the Black Widow character, that they just need to get into it. They need to understand… I just learned Russian because I had to play a Russian girl in [Joss Whedon’s] ‘Dollhouse.’ Maybe we could all tell them [interner dorks]. Lets get on a Black Widow Iron Man 2 campaign.”
Blunt could be busy with “Gulliver’s Travels,” so it could be a good idea, right? As attractive as Dushku is, she can’t act a lick and has never appeared to be the brightest bulb in the box. Buyer beware Favreau. [Film School Rejects/ /Film]
I randomly met Eliza Dushku when I worked at a video store. She’s an unbelievably kind person. Because of that, and my love of her on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I hope she continues to get work. Three cheers for the good guys and girls!
Wait till you see Dollhouse. She can’t act two licks either.
Oh, yes, because this role will require A GENUINELY GREAT ACTRESS.
