Gee, I'm glad that everyone here seems to have faith in Steven Soderbergh's casting decisions… not.

Why boring Blake Lively. Mr. Soderbergh made a pathetic choice.

Channing Tatum and Blake Lively? Not too early to predict an early Razzie contender. Poor Jude Law, he's better than this.

Lets all take a minute to laugh our asses off that Blake "I mumbled through all of my lines on GG and The Town" Lively has been cast in this film. Obviously Soderbergh has set his sights low recently with the casting of Channing Tatum (who may be in competition with Lively as the most mumbling actor to grace the big screen in the last decade) in not one but TWO of his films. Lively is not a good actress and as much as people WANT her to happen, she will never be a respected thespian. She's like Gwyneth Paltrow with 1/4 of the talent and no Oscar (which we all know is one of the bigger WTF moments in Oscar history). Look, I may be a Blake Lively hater but my reasoning stems from the fact that she sucks as an actress.

I won't watch another Soderbergh movie until he stops casting that fucking oaf Channing Tatum. Bullshit.

I thought Lively was good in a rather thankless role in The Town, and so did a lot of critics. Obviously directors like Oliver Stone, Sam Raimi, and now Steven Soderbergh thought so too as they've all cast her in their films. I also like her work in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, and Elvis and Anabelle, and she's been pretty entertaining in the interviews I've seen. I think many people are inclined to stereotype her because she's young, pretty, and on a tv show called Gossip Girl.

I feel like aside from GL, Blake has been playing the same character. Psychologically damaged and addicted to something.. I think she's decent in them, but impressive? Most of her acting is blank stares, pouting, and giggling.

I agree. Give Soderbergh 4-5 years away from filmmaking and he'll be back. He probably just wants to take a break, paint and travel a bit.

can you stop beating the dead "retirement" horse into the ground?

Considering it is a non-story that he himself said was just a drunk comment taken way out of context?

My goodness, Lively's agent gets her a part instead of just the casting shortlist over and over and over where she always seemed misplaced in the same sentence of proven performers. If she's good in this and Savages then she'll've earned her way to the shortlist.
