Jeff Sneider on Twitter said that he heard Diaz was playing Laura and Cruz was playing Malkina but he couldn't confirm it, so maybe Twitch doesn't know who's playing who. Just a thought

Diaz would actually be a good match for Laura. But Malkina? Bad Teacher but much, much darker and more dramatic? Ridley Scott must see it but I'm having some trouble visualizing it.

Lol you guys treat poor Diaz as if she were a cheap C-lister or some talentless, unproven actress like Jessica Alba. This is Cameron Diaz we're talking about! Just because she doesn't star in many "serious" films doesn't mean she doesn't have what it takes. After all she was terrific in Something About Mary, Being John Malkovich and Vanilla Sky. I'm sure she'll pull this off greatly.

IDK I don't particularly care for her but I thought she was great in Being John Malkovich tbh.

I like this. Diaz doesn't get enough decent roles.

I only believe when Angelina confirms her next project. She works less , it takes more time from a movie to another. But I hope she can make a "small " movie between Maleficient …

Cool and unexpected choice, and I don't see why they'd have to tweak the character all that much. It's not like there are no blonde women in Argentina. She's half-Cuban, her last name is Diaz after all…

Jolie is wasting her time. In the past few years she's turned down Gravity, Serena, Prometheus, Wanted 2, Salt 2, and now The Counselor. She could have had one of the biggest female careers of all time and let it go.

NOOOOOOO!!!!! What a horrible day for Angelina Jolie fans. Maleficent is turning out to be more curse than blessing.

Whoever wrote this degrading article towards Diaz is obviously an angry jolie fan. Jolie had no talent at all. All she does is action which isn't even believable anymore because of her anorexic frame. In her Oscar winning supporting role, she was basically playing her psycho self–no "acting" needed for that. Everyone knows she IS that nuts. Seriously, Diaz may not the THE best choice out there, but IMO, she certainly has more range than jolie. Cameron can do action, comedy AND drama. Call me when jolie does something other than a femme-fatal nonsense. I don't care for Diaz but I'd watch her any day over some anorexic looking chick.

I find it hard to believe no one remembers her in Any Given Sunday. Messy film, not one of Stone's greatest, but there were a few key scenes with Al Pacino where Diaz was equal to the task.

Wow, all of the Jolie and Diaz nuts came out of hiding to post on this site today. In any case, both actresses are mediocre at best. Jolie has her moments as does Diaz, but neither of them are incredible talents and it's obvious Scott is going for "big names" with this film…. although the men cast are a good mix of big names and big talent. I would have loved to see some lesser known actresses snag a role in this film. There are many many many many more talented women out there than Diaz and Jolie combined. Diaz reminds me of a poor man's Charlize Theron- just like Bad Teacher was the poor man's equivalent of Young Adult (quality wise…. I know it made more money Diaz nuts). Hell, if Scott is going after big names why not cast someone like Charlize Theron… ?

I think Cameron will do great! She doesn't always pick the greatest roles but I think she's talented. Gangs of New York, Being John Malkovich, Any Given Sunday, In Her Shoes, and Vanilla Sky. She's great in those films.

I'm actually a fan of Angelina but I am liking the thought of Cameron much more. She needs more of these roles, she shines in them.

I liked her a lot in Being John Malkovich, but I can't lie and say my expectations for this movie didn't take a shit when I read that headline.

I'm fine with cast as long as there aren't any Efrons, Timberlakes etc. So yeah, The Counselor cast is pretty sweet so far. i don't exactly mind Diaz taking a role in this ( even though i'd pick another actress ).

Cameron is such a better choice! She's known for her sexy and still looks hot… she has cuban descent too… and she can act in drama.
Jolie has her easily bought and paid for GG awards/noms and her Oscar for playing her crazy old self… and like Pitt, some production company paid noms for Oscar… but no win for a legitimate ACTING award (that can't be bought)… somebody should stop drinking koolaide about that oversold media ho.
I guess the producer decided to go with talent, a character fit and avoidance of the circus act that comes with Jolie and Troop.

it's really not that shocking… Diaz at one time had a solid dramatic performance in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday…she just started making more money with terrible comedies and blew off the serious films…Jolie has been dropping the ball with a string of horrible films, one those awful roles even earned her another Oscar nomination…I'd rather not have Jolie ruin this film with her monotoned delivery

All the silly haters lol.

Jolie has an OSCAR and several golden globes in addition to being nominated multiple times.
She's considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world according to various non-tabloid magazines, Vanity Fair, Allure, Who, Empire, etc.
She's the highest paid actress in hollywood by making only 1 movie a year, whereas the likes of J. Anniston have to make 3 movies + friends backend + smart water ads.

Guess who's laughing her way to the bank as you ugly haters do nothing but hate 🙂

It's fairly obvious that no one reporting on the casting for this movie has reliable sources. Why hasn't anyone floated the possibility that the role Jolie was looking at and that Diaz now has is that of third older, sexy woman in the film, Ruth? When the news that Jolie was interested in the film first broke (via Vulture, if I recall correctly), they said it was a very small part, which fits the description of Ruth.

"Diaz is a name that hasnât been mentioned, and really, isnât quite in the same calibre as the other talent involved."

That's a bitchy comment. Cameron can be quite good in dramas…I thought she should've been nominated for an Oscar for Vanilla Sky and John Malkovich.
