so, was she one of the options? casting choices?
she would have ruined this film had she played this part.
she greatly damaged cop land bc like a rapper trying to act in a serious movie she stuck out like a sore thumb every time she appeared in this film. the problem is when you are so known for comedy acting and performing, your voice and face and way of talking, if you don't change your way of talking in a serious role and i mean completely change your style of talking, and your voice you will not have credibility in a serious role,
bc you aren't different enough in your role from the roles you usually play in comedy movies and tv shows and your persona in standup bc we the audience have made up our minds and know how you talk, how you think, and how you make comedy your style of comedy, and your personality. it's typecasting, which is a result of not being good enough of an actor to not get type casted.
so if cop land which probably wouldn't have been destroyed by her performance bc of the kind of movie it is was greatly damaged by her then fight club which is the kind of film that really is hurt by a performance of her kind would have been destroyed by her being in it.
also a sidenote cop land also had another case of this kind of bad misplaced unfit casting in method man's part which really was jarringly bad bc it's so distracting, taking all your focus away from the movie, it takes you out of the reality of the movie bc all you can think of is hey it's method man bc again like her he doesn't do anything that separates him from just being a rapper trying to act.
