Pretty much this. If it lasts longer than a hour it is most likely true.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

The run time for The Blind Side is 129 minutes, which makes it doubly true!

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Well, I think the OP's quote about her is semi-accurate...Bullock was concerned about being able to pull off a devout Christian because she doesn't have that mindset about spirituality. Nothing wrong with that...actors worry about performances all the time. She probably was wondering if it was essential to the story, and I'm not sure it was - in fact, I don't remember that movie being overtly religious in any particular way. At least not beyond the typical Hollywood version of "Christianity".

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

So THAT'S how they made the movie!

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

WTF?!?!?!?!?!? THIS thread is not about the making of The Blind Side!

I am outraged!! OUTRAGED!!!! This is the kind of thead that can build-up hatred.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Wait. Shes an actor. Isn't that her fucking job? Becoming someone else?

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

You haven't met many actors, have you? Most of them don't like to go outside their comfort zone. They're too afraid of coming off poorly.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Can the OP's name be changed to PhantomSources?

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Far be it from me to defend the OP, but here's a source for his story (well, not that she was forced, but that she was wary about playing a devout Christian, until she found out about the person she was playing):

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

That article does not suggest that Bullock tried to have the Christianity removed, or that the real life woman wouldn't allow them to make the movie without the Christian elements intact.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

No, but if you combine that with the fact that Bullock turned down the role three times (because she wasn't sure she could do the character justice), it does tell you where the OP's misinterpretation of the events came from.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

I still can't believe thats Tim McGraw.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

We're on page two and this thread still fails the Bechdel Test :(

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Page two? Newb. -ohbfrank-

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

:hscratch: Isn't that why it's called acting? Doesn't she get lots of money to do said acting?

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

:lol: I was wondering what the deal with this thread was, I loathed The Blind Side and almost didn't click on this, but curiosity finally won out. Good stuff. :lol:

Here she is doing research for "Blind Side 2: Where all Deez Becky Babby Mamas Come from?!"

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Thanks, but the OP should be providing his own sources.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Technically, he's not the OP, the mod who created this thread is.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Lets not get bogged down with facts here...

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Sure, get lost in semantics. He posted the unsubstantiated claim that started this discussion. Close enough to OP for me.

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Did the original thread have anything to do with The Blind Side or was that a detour?

Re: The Making of "The Blind Side"
 

Is there any truth to the rumor that Mark Wahlberg turned down the role in FEAR multiple times due to his belief that he could not accurately portray a roller-coaster rider?


(come on, offshoot thread off the offshoot thread!)
