David Fincher is definitely losing it. First , he praised the mediocre Scarlett Johansson's screen test for Girl With The Dragon Tatoo. Now, he is seriously considering two hideously acting female cardboard cutouts – Olivia Wilde and Julianne Hough ( I mean look at their past performances and their film choices ) . It is bad enough, that he hired Ben Stiff Affleck . This guy struggles to give a decent performance.

Evan Rachel Wood will be perfect for this movie

Olivia Wilde is trying so hard to build herself a career that it's kinda cute really … but for some reason it just doesn't seem to work (she tried indie flicks and blockbuster alike, and everything in-between).
Turns out I still remember her for her House gig.

What about Emily Blunt? I haven't read the book but am guessing she'd be good.

This would have been such a great opportunity for an older actress (since Amy is 5-6 years older than Nick in the novel.) It's a shame they're looking for starlets when actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz and the aforementioned Watts would have all been interesting choices…

Why isn't someone like a Naomi Watts in contention? All these young actress are good, but probably too young to pull it off.

I know the article suggests that all of these are trying out for the role of Amy, but might Cornish and Hough be up for the role of the young girlfriend (can't think of her name) that Nick has an affair with? Wilde seems oddly between the age of the wife (too young) and the age of the girlfriend, and too young to be the sister also.

They're too young: the wife is older than her husband and it's important for the story

In what world does Hough, Cornish and Wilde hold a candle to the likes of Theron and Portman? Especially Theron. Even if she's not pursuing the part, the idea of Theron even being mentioned heightens the role.

I could see Abbie Cornish, maybe even Julieann Hough, but has Hollywood not realized Olivia Wilde is box office poison yet?

I agree. The actress who plays Amy should be older than Nick (and Affleck is 40). My favourite for the role would be Diane Lane…gorgeous, great acting chops, age appropriate. Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz and Charlize Theron are all fine choices.
