But if they wanted a popular white actress for the role, why Reese? She hasn’t had a hit she solely lead in 15 years. She was never a box office star; the media made her out to be. I mean, I guess they could have asked ten other actresses who each said 'no', but perhaps it could have been a budgetary decision- she was the cheapest 'name-actress' going around and they didn't want to spend too much money after hiring Oprah? I dunno. I mean, I have no problem with Reese as an actress (I think I've seen 3 movies of hers? An old one she did as a teen, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, and the Chris Pine-starring THIS MEANS WAR), although I do find it sad we could have had Lupita. I could believe she used to be a star and became something more tangible and mortal, to help fight the evil/darkness. If Reese is that cheap, then that’s a bit sad since she used to be worth $15 million. Guess making so many crap films was gonna lower your value some day. I don’t know why any other actress would say “no” to DuVernay. If they wanted a popular actress, why not Charlize Theron? Everyone loves Charlize Theron. I could actually believe her as a warm being. Witherspoon has always been too cold to be relatable.
