You're right. I knew she was born on the 7th, but I got March 7th stuck in my head because thats when stanley kubrick died. Even better! 27!!! Her whole career is ahead of her!
Sucker Punch? Isn't that the new movie from the 300/watchmen guy? Yeah, should be a good one. cough sarcasm cough.
Abbie, please don't sell out. There's still a lot of great writers and directors out there dying to use your talents in their films. -

Well, Emunah, you and I are two different kinds of fans. I stick by Abbie. She is a wonderfully nuanced actor with a sensuality that oozes from her very pores, infusing her characterizations. Yet she can tramp it down and become a down home Texas girl in
Stop-Loss
. She has never disappointed me even when the overall project did (
A Good Year
).
She lets it all rip in
Sucker Punch
and I expect that the image of her as martial artist/prostitute/mental patient will practically burn itself into the theatre screens. This new film she is making with Bradley Cooper,
Dark Fields
looks interesting also.
As for her future, talent will out.

I would consider her work in Bright Star, Somersault and Candy to be great. More than great, even.
And I don't think it's a case of selling out. Many actors have to do crappy films before their big breakthrough or even after. If you're making small films all the time, you're going to have to make some paycheck films. Bright Star should've been that breakthrough, but I think she was overshadowed by Carey Mulligan that year as the youb68ng ingenue.

Also shock horror some very good actors and actresses I am almost certain like action films and no doubt think it would be fun to do one. But I guess that is simply impossible as clearly no one likes action films.

I think I know [?] what the OP is getting athe doesn't want to see Ms. AC's talent wasted in dumb Hollywood movies like "Battleship 2: This Time It's Personal" or other such Gorgonzola. But no law says she can't do
both
mainstream films
and
good/challenging indie films. (And I'm no "indie film snob" either while there are TOO MANY crappy H'wood films, there are also plenty of lame independent movies around too!) -

When did I say that? I'm talking about crappy films, not action films. Hollywood can make a good action film once in a while. Not all the time, but Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol was enjoyable.

She was in that AWFUL Robocop remake.
She's also sold out by having botox, fake implants, a probable nose job and possible other work.
She comes across very much as a "sellout", to me.
