The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
I think the main problem is to get over the 7 husbands in a movie. It could be a lot to take for the audience, even those who read the book. I’m curious to see how they will around that.Guest wrote: ↑19 Nov 2022, 05:02This adaptation/script needs to have major angst if they want to hook A-listers. The book was too millenial/gen-z imo.
Adaptations don’t have to perfectly similar to a book. They would do, imo, more favor to the plot to focus on Celia and Evelyn but the 7 husbands + Celia and Evelyn + the second plot and the revealing ending is a lot to tackle in a 2h max 3h hours movie.
Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
Da, Celia part is not very challenging, any actress can do it well.

Dude like any actress that is half good at her job can pull them of.

Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
If ana is casted she will demand
-Multiple sex scenes with men
-Nudity in hetero sex scenes
-Lots of kisses with men
-All interviews with male co-stars
-Selfish Ana will want full focus on her so Celia role will be reduced to only 5 minutes
Then Lchat will cry.

Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
I'm currently reading the book and I can't say I'm not imagining Jessica Chastain whenever Celia is mentioned. What even I wonder who the author had in mind when crafting that character because the Jessica vibe is really strong.
What I've read so far isn't amazing writing, but I do admit it's like a fanfic kind of crack. Can't put the book down.
Is the adaptation still happening?

Have you all seen the daisy jones pics and teaser? It looks so damn good, the production looks amazing and they will have a weekly release...
I'm so sad, cause this is what Evelyn and us deserved.
I truly can't fathom how TJR's best and most popular book got the worst adaptation deal, like what the fuck?

Also, the team behind it is very weak and they don't really care. They do nothing. This book would be an amazing series but...
And the whole situation became worst when they chose Netflix. Their biggest mistake...
Have you heard anything new? About the production? At the end, they will make it or not?

Too bad straightest woman in world ANAL ARMASS will never want you. She loves men and c0ck and straight sex and will only agree for this film if there are many sex scene with men with nudity. The lez storyline will be cut to 5 minutes.
Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
Omg we're finally back, I can't believe THIS happened and the board was down, I was dying to talk about it with y'all, what do you think? Do you believe she'll play Celia or she just said that to be nice??? I literally jumped around my room screaming when I saw the video.

twitter was over the moon when that clip came out, half first assuming it was another joke and the other half crying and screaming how they manifested jessica actually mentioning it lmao .

i feel like if it was a hbo series it would be more appealing to some actors like jessica because it'd allow for more of the plot to progress naturally and production wise they're on the higher end but it being a movie might be something appealing to her as well. she has said similar things before "sure send a script" about other fan castings and i think it really just depends on how appealing the script is to her (and probably scheduling)

I really love how wide she smiles when she hears “Celia st. James” that made me so happy I’m really wondering if she read the book or just saw the fancasting on Twitter/tiktok.

i don't think they're fucked but netflix/tjr have kind of burrowed themselves into a corner because there seems to be a recent uptick in new fans of this book on tiktok (and that's how i realized the book was the same one i saw l chatters mentioning years ago lol) but they've been really dragging on getting scripts written/casting etc. hell more importantly i don't think they even have any idea who to go for with evelyn who is even more critical. people already are not pleased that it's only a movie with the timespan it covers how they're going to fit it all in. not to mention IF they managed to get chastain imo they'd have to flesh out celia's character a bit more bc the book was lacking in development in that area, particularly the jump from young to old celia. if not....well they'll be some more loud complaints thats for sure.
shame this movie couldn't be made earlier, because as i was binge reading the book i can see why so many fans fancast jessica chastain because she is quite celia st james coded lmao...like other anon have mentioned i think the age part might be a bit tricky. realistically you'd need 3 evelyns and 2 celias (one young and one in their late 20s/early30s and i don't know if jessica would fit there unless they age them up). in all honesty i have no clue how they're going to condense it all into a movie, husbands + celia included over the years. younger jessica chastain would've be amazing for the role so its too bad this wasn't green lit years ago
Re: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Film Adaptation
If they get an actress of JC’s caliber then Celia has to be co-lead, who cares about the husbands.

Also I would rather have one actress for Evelyn and Celia and not multiple one cause I feel like the actors know the character better and we as an audience too. Don't they use some de age AI tools now in hollywood? I feel like I saw something about that.
