[Trigger warning for sexual violence and Polanski stuff.]
Well. This is depressing: Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, Matt Dillon, and Christoph Waltz to Star in Roman Polanski's Next Film, God of Carnage.
Two women I would have paid to see read the back of a cereal box onscreen.
I feel sick.
I am particularly devastated that Jodie Foster, who played a real-life rape survivor in The Accused, alongside real-life rape survivor Kelly McGillis, would work with Polanski. The Accused (and McGillis' forthrightness about her own experience, too) meant a whole lot to me at one time in my life. Just...blub.
Between Polanski and Mel Gibson, that's quite a collection of pals Foster's got.
Kate Winslet, please call your friend Emma Thompson immediately.
