“ The film is about a 12 year old boy who works on the MGM Lot in 1952 and begins to create an imagined friendship with the legendary movie star Gene Kelly while working on his next film.”

LBH this is pretty damn gay.

The description of the plot sounds like it came from someone with massive father issues. I know Evans was raised by his divorced mother.

Evans also wanted to play the sadistic dentist in the planned remake of Little Shop. His father? A dentist.

Why is not Tom Hardy playing Gene? He looks so much more like him and has the build. This is laughable to think blandy McBlanderson Evans could be like Gene Kelly. Gene Kelly was bi sex on stick even if he was an asshole.

I don't credit Kelly as being "bi" but he was all physique and very little brain.

He was furious and envious that an English arty film could rake in $7,000,000.

R38 I thought it was overlong and the weird coloring (which Scorsese claimed was true to vintage Technicolor) was very distracting.

But I do admit that Cate Blankett was vaguely convincing as Hepburn. She physically approximated Hepburn's stature and voice a lot more than tall Chris Evans can replicate the short and muscley Gene Kelly.

The very best Hepburn impression performance is Tovah Feldshuh, in the TV movie "The Amazing Howard Hughes." Tovah is tiny, but she really gets the young KH voice and manner.

Whoever they get has to have good facial features - big expressive eyes, nice lips, good cheekbones - that project the way Kelly's did. The man had gorgeous eyes, Evans has beady little piss-holes in the snow eyes.
