Julia Roberts almost tanked Shakespeare in Love

May 2024 · 26 minute read

She seems like a real pill and had too much power in Hollywood at such a young age. (She was all wrong for this role anyway.)

I'm just cackling reading about the old system where this 24-year-old newbie got to call the shots because one of her movies was a hit. Imagine that happening today.

And what was that DDL fixation? Did she want to fuck him or something?

Everyone always dumps on the insufferable Goop, and she deserves it, but she was actually perfect in this one role.

Ken Auletta's book about Harvey Weinstein contains a lot of gossip about the making of this film and, just as importantly, its Oscar campaign. Auletta's sympathies are very much with Zwick, who was screwed twice, first when he was replaced as director and then when Weinstein orchestrated a plot to steal his limelight at the Oscars.

It probably killed her when Paltrow won the Oscar.

I'm not a big enough fan to know the timeline but was this WHILE Julia was screwing Daniel Day-Lewis or was she using this part to angle to get his cock inside her?

Anyway, I find Julia appealing in a very narrow range of roles (she certainly had star quality), but otherwise insufferable.

She would have been AWFUL in Shakespeare in Love as she isn't talented enough to play period.

And the idea that she was allowed to sabotage casting is appalling and shows how fucked up Hollywood is.

I was a teen when Pretty Woman came out and it was a phenomenon. The songs were popular on the radio and people were crazy about Julia Roberts. My mother who could not name 5 celebrities if her life depended on it loves Julia Roberts. My brother's wife has the DVD and watches it with her every year when my mom stays with them. Julia Roberts was huge in the early 90's. I have never been that crazy about her, but I will give it to her that she was a *star*

I do think she can probably be a real bitch and is the type of woman who has male friends instead of female friends. I would love to see a face off with her and Goop.

Julia Roberts has a very pretty white trash American hill Billy look to her. Jennifer Garner has it, Hillary Swank, and a certain mixed Duchess whose name shall not be mentioned for fear of grey lining by psychopaths.

She rode the perfect wave of new money that okies were finally able to catch in the Reagan 80s.

I've hardly seen any movies with Gwyneth Paltrow, but I saw Sylvia and thought she was excellent in it. I assume she's a good actress based on that.

I've only seen Julia Roberts in Mystic Pizza. She was very good in that part, but I agree that she wouldn't have been able to pull off the Paltrow role in Shakespeare in Love.

Rupert Everett paints a wonderful picture of Roberts in one of his superbly written memoirs. He shares a private jet with her while filming My Best Friend's Wedding, and she goes from set to limo to jet barefoot. Because that's how the very rich can.

While it is true that Julia Roberts was originally considered for the role of Viola in "Shakespeare in Love," it is important to note that many actors are considered for roles in films and not all of them are ultimately cast. The role eventually went to Gwyneth Paltrow, who won an Academy Award for her performance. It is also worth noting that Roberts has had a successful career in Hollywood, earning numerous awards and nominations for her performances, and it is unfair to make sweeping statements about her career or character based on one role or rumor.

R41 I apologize for my earlier response. I was not aware that the claim about Julia Roberts came from a producer of the film. However, it is important to remember that such claims should still be taken with caution as they may reflect the perspective of only one individual and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of others involved in the project. It is also worth noting that casting decisions in Hollywood involve many factors beyond an actor's suitability for a particular role, and it is difficult to know what specific factors may have influenced the decision to cast or not cast a particular actor in a given role.

It's interesting that they tried to cast Ralph Fiennes in the role with her and Joseph ended up getting it, and ended up being perfect.

He was so dreamy in Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth. He made Elizabethan dress quite alluring.

Crazy that he came out of nowhere with major roles in both of those movies and then vanished for a long time.

Gwyneth as GOOP is one of the most annoying people on Earth but at this phase in her acting career, she was one of the best onscreen. She was good in this, perfect in Emma, perfect in Sylvia, good in Mr. Ripley, good in Proof, great in The Royal Tenenbaums.

Her accent was a disaster in Sliding Doors and it was not a good movie but somehow it's one that has remained popular over time. Weird.

The comment that Julia can't pull off a southern accent is funny. She's from Georgia and I think she lives in Texas.

I think I know what the person is saying, though. There's something a little odd about how Julia Roberts speaks. I don't know if it's the cadence or the volume or the intonation or what, but her speech sounds a little overly earnest or something both when speaking as herself and when acting, as if she is too focused on articulating or something.

Of course, it's also possible that some viewers may think her 'southern accent' is poor because they are not from the south and expect 'southern'—of which there are many different types—to sound like Blanche Devereaux.

I grew up outside of DC in Northern VA, and I have the type of midatlantic mild accent that a lot of people think is 'no accent' because it's similar to how broadcast news readers are taught to speak.

My father is from NC, and I work for a national association that represents every state. When someone from North Carolina speaks a single sentence, I know where they are from because they sound like my father's family. And over time, I have come to be able to immediately discern South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana/Mississippi, and Texas accents from one another. All are southern accents but to my ear now, they are all clearly distinct from one another. My org doesn't work a lot with people from Georgia and I have not developed an ear for specifically Georgian accents, but Julia Roberts definitely has something of a Texas drawl now.

Anyway. She would have been a disaster in Shakespeare in Love or in anything having anything to do with Shakespeare unless it were a Mel Brooks movie, maybe a Macbeth set in the deep U.S. south.

I think I've only seen Shakespeare in Love once or twice and I thought it was okay. I'd rewatch it. I've only rewatched Pretty Woman for retro Jason Alexander, in all honesty.

Agree that much of Julia's appeal with her mane of hair. Her horse teeth were always offputting, but what can you expect from the voracious maneater that she's shown herself to be. She and her husband must have an open relationship because it's long been rumored that she fucks all her male co-stars. Whatever works, I guess. But her A Low Vera really showed the shitty human she is. I purposely try to steer clear of her projects, unless there is someone else in the film I like and want to see.

No but she's fucked a bunch of them.

R119 hon do keep up. Julia has always gotten her dick.

She wanted him to co-star, not just to fuck her, r121.

r104 I remember being shocked when she cut off her hair when she was doing Peter Pan. She just wasn't the same without that mane.

^^^ I mean Hook, the Peter Pan movie. I still have not seen it.

It's weird that Julia remain hung up on Daniel Day-Lewis when Ralph Fiennes was right there. I would've thought her dick radar was better than that. I'm disappointed in her.

R117 he was probably a dick, I think either Shirley or Sally said that during a cast talk show appearance, but “savage mental abuse” seems unlikely.

Dolly Parton said he wasn’t nice to her.

Who wasn't nice to our Dolly?

I've heard Ralph is a horn dog and didn't he emotionally abuse his exes?

The director of Steel Magnolias.

All movies produced by the doughy rapist Harvey should be permanently erased from history. Starting with SiL.

It is a bloody miracle Julia's career was huge with her gaping maw. No doubt her mouth was made bigger by the huge prime dick she has taken.

That was scary r133, her mouth is 3/4 of her face

R86 short career? She had about ten 100 million dollar films between 1990 and 2001. On what planet have many men or women accomplished that? Most actors (male or female) don't have ONE hit movie they carried with their name alone.

[quote]more like Juila did not want Weinstein near her.

If you read the article, all this happened long before Weinstein was associated with the project. After Julia it lapsed for a while and eventually Miramax took it up.

R132, there is not enough Stoppard in the world to be cancelling his work out of anger at Weinstein.
