I rather it go to Rooney Mara(who can act and now has an Oscar nomination to back her up) instead of Phony edge teen princess and Razzie nominee Kristen Stewart who has about as much range as a fire hydrant.Blake lively belongs on TV not the cinema.ROONEY IS BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED…END OF STORY.

Do you think Lively's publicist's eagerness backfired this time around? Since her folks love to release any information about her circling high profile roles… this time around… no bueno.

As much as I dislike Blake Lively the Actress, she has more personality than Mara. Mara is a good actress, so this makes sense and is probably more bankable at the moment but the girl needs SERIOUS attitude check. She's the most stoic and boring person in interviews. If she's looking to build a stable fan-base outside of the Dragon Tattoo franchise (and we all know franchise fan bases don't tend to follow the star around once they move outside of said franchise… take R Patz and Daniel Craig for example) she really needs to come across as more personable.

What an unethical, impolite, cynical behaviour! Nevertheless, this serves to prove that Lively is definitely NOT the protÃ©gÃ©e of any producer or director. I have a feeling this movie will tank anyway. Mara is too algid for the part.

After Blake Lively supported Soderbergh at one of the Haywire premieres, he probably felt obliged to keep her in the cast. "Damn, how do I tell her that Megan thinks she sucks", he likely thought one sleepless night.

Also I love how Blake Lively's hiring can cause a movie to lose financial backing, yet Channing Tatum keeps getting work. Blake Lively may not have a lot of talent, but neither does that personality vaccum Channing Tatum.

Megan Ellison/Annapurna were really terrible in the way this all went down..no way would they be back in the picture…if it was all about the casting of Blake Lively…they could have just dumped her a week ago for rooney and stayed with Annapurna..instead of trying to make the deal work elsewhere with Blake still in place…Her agents really blew this one…
