Just last week, we reported that after Sandra Bullock had to exit Trouble With The Curve due to a busy schedule, two brilliant actresses were being considered for the female lead in her place in the form of Amy Adams and Reese Witherspoon.
At the time, I was rooting for Amy Adams because I love her work and am looking forward to seeing more of her in the years to come. It seems like my hopes might be looking good, with Variety reporting that an offer is now out to the actress for the lead female role.
The film focuses on Clint Eastwood in the lead as,
“an ageing baseball scout, who’s losing his sight, and heads on a last road trip to Atlanta with his daughter to scout a hotshot prospect.”
The female lead is that of Eastwood’s daughter, and I think Adams would be perfect for the role. Penned by relative newcomer Randy Brown, the film will be the directorial debut of Eastwood’s long-time collaborator and fellow producer, Robert Lorenz, with whom Eastwood has worked on Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, and many more films.
Eastwood was originally to be directing A Star Is Born next, but with Beyoncé Knowles announcing her pregnancy, that’s been put on hold, and Trouble With The Curve is set to take its place. So let’s hope that this can get into production pretty soon. Adams is currently at work filming Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, but her schedule is looking perfectly light after that, so with any luck, we’ll be hearing more of Trouble With The Curve soon, hopefully with Adams accepting the offer.
