Boyle to Favor Zeta Jones or Zeta Jones to Favor Boyle

On equal footing: they both have entries in Wikipedia, almost everyone knows them, they both have foreign accents, they both can sing (although the one belonging to the movies hadn’t made a career out of it probably because of her age when she made a breakthrough in our consciousness) and both of them belong to the female species.

Well, they’re not on equal standing in the looks department but if both would be made to look like the other I have this vision that it would be easier to make the multi-awarded actress more like Boyle than make Boyle look like the actress. Prosthetics can be used on the former but mere miracle would have to be hoped for in the latter.

No need to point out which is which.

One has a husband that is 25 years her senior but a very talented and famous, although already old, husband to boast of and the other can pull off the stunt saying she’d never been kissed.

The then-touted “in disrepair” contestant was a gentle soul who shut the world off when her mother died. The current spokeswoman of Elizabeth Arden was then rumored to had been talked off by her parents in marrying her husband but was reported that it was Zeta-Jones’ tough personality that still won over.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is an award winning actress, and apart from mere manifestation (by us, the audience) and talks supposed to be coming from “inside” Hollywood that she had had a bad rapport with Brad Pitt onscreen of Ocean’s 13 (defended by Zeta-Jones’ camp that Catherine views Pitt as shallow), Catherine still remains as one of the most in demand and hard to come by kind of actress belonging to her generation.

She has the “it”. Not the type of “it” that belongs to the modelling world but that kind of “it” that is not bitchiness but that which just comes a tad short to being cold. That “it” that makes her one of a kind is also that “it” that makes us common people see her as somebody who is always way ahead of her game and probably any other game when it comes to determination, strength, flawlessness in playing her parts that this same “steeliness” in accomplishing just that is still hard to disguise even if she is playing light roles. Blame it on her coloring that is always associated with seriousness but try to imagine her as a blond and still see her playing her roles and correct me if I’m wrong. The camera (though in full control of the director) never, ever misses the color of one’s soul.

So the thought of her playing as Susan Boyle is enough that the mere fact that it came about as a talk would warrant the public’s curiosity and ensure that, sans any unfortunate event, would guarantee that the film would be more than a break even garner.

With the amount of talent fee automatically commanded by Oscar winners like she is I doubt that anyone whose star is more brighter or as bright as Zeta-Jones’ would be in this film. The lady owns the screen the moment she appears on it. I envision light stars when it comes to popularity and acting ability supporting her supposed to be Susan Boyle role . With Zeta-Jones’ gravity on screen a light cast is needed. Not to mention very specifically, artistically and well-timed close-ups that might make the audience see more of Catherine’s steely determination that is both her beauty and her curse.
