    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Gabriella Wilde


    ellie246 — 13 years ago(August 11, 2012 07:14 AM)

    As stunningly beautiful as this woman is, after watching The 3 Musketeers, she can't act to save her life but is still being cast in what seem good parts, Sue Snell in a pointless remake2000 of Carrie?
    So many pretty faces, (especially from the UK it seems to me, Douglas Booth being another), are being cast in films but aren't able to act.
    I don't mind 'em being gorgeous but I expect them to be able to perform properly !!!!!

      This is Hollywood son, it's all about being goodlooking and white especialy in lead roles for big blockbusters, who cares if they can act.

          I gotta disagree: not white necessarily: just good looking.

            White? Yeah, that's why Hollywood worships minorities so much (COUGH Beyonce Rihanna Halle Berry Denzel Idris Elba Kerry Washington Morgan Freeman- oh, and that's just black people, not even the others). That's why they make characters that are canonically white not white. That's why women like Megan Fox or Angelina are seen as the ultimate beauties for white women, women who supposedly look mixed or of Hispanic/Asian/African descent.
            I agree Hollywood loves white people, but it won't ever hesitate to shove them out of the way for a minority, any day. It's fickle and whipped by political correctness.

              you've got your head shoved so far up your own ass, it's laughable. only 2 of those people you listed are actually respected. denzel washington, morgan and will smith are cast in everything, leaving out other black actors. megan fox and angelina don't looked mixed AT ALL. wtf are you even talking about. i can't even tell if you're just stupid or trolling.

                  Give her a chance! Everyone was wooden in The 3 Musketeers. Her up-coming films will be more of a test. Sue Snell in Carrie is a much darker role, then she's playing a trailer trash homeless girl in Squatters, and her first lead in Endless Love.

                    I was on set when she was working on Endless Love. After 20 takes trying to get an ounce of emotion from her, I promise: she can't act any more than a mannequin could.

                        Hopefully she'll turn it around with Carrie.
                        Don't count on it. I'm fairly lenient when it comes to critiquing cinematic portrayals but even I felt she was one note, unable to typify any nuances, or otherwise provide a solid performance.
                        When God made Tom Cruise, he was only joking.

                            It's not like she was given a whole lot to do, anyways. She did what she could with what she was given and that's that. It wasn't necessary to hire an actress with the talent of Meryl Streep to portray the character of Sue Snell.
                            Be thankful for every new day!

                                    Agree. I was really let down by her performance (They should have permitted Julianne Moore to coach her onset. Moore obviously shined as she always does)
                                    When God made Tom Cruise, he was only joking.

                                        She is beautiful, but her performances have been nothing, thus far. Of course, one has to also note the script and direction an actor is given when talking performances into account, but she just hasn't shown any potential. And she looked awful in the Endless Love trailer too.

                                          I haven't seen any movie with her. But I agree about that trailer.
                                          What I say may sound a little mean, but I think that Gabriella is a clear example of someone who only has a career because of her look. She is incredibly beautiful!
