Thirlby Out
June 24th 2008 16:46
Juno star Olivia Thirlby got fired from the stoner comedy Pineapple Express after being cast as Seth Rogan's girlfriend and rehearsing for a few weeks.
She was replaced by some character named Amber Heard, which made me wonder, who the hell is Amber Heard?
After looking her up on IMDB, I don't see much memorable on her resume, which includes roles in straight to DVD Alpha Dog and some television appearances on Hidden Palms and Californication.
It made me wonder, why would they dump a talented actress who starred in one of the most critically acclaimed and financially successful films of 2007? Oh yeah, it's probably because there are posts on message boards about her with titles like "SLAMMIN BODY. HOLY GOD." And the Apatow people need seats in the theater filled, since their last few comedies haven't matched the successes of movies like Knocked Up and Superbad.
Olivia Thirlby said she might boycott the film and more power to her. She has five movies in post production, all of which will probably be better than this one.
