Is anyone else looking forward to this series? It's from Ryan Murphy who was excellent last year with People V OJ, though mediocre with AHS and horrible with Scream Queens. However, Feud will reunite Jessica Lange with Murphy since she departed from AHS after season 4. Has a pretty nice cast and is supposed to center around the trouble/fighting Davis and Crawford had while making "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?". Previews have looked pretty good and comical.
Premiers March 5th on FX

I saw the ad during the Super Bowl ... it looks to be good ... I can't wait to see how it comes out.

I think this will be pretty good, too. Love Jessica Lange...though Susan Sarandon seems an odd choice for Bette Davis.

I'll give it a watch as I love Bette Davis and love the story between her feud with Crawford. I'm hoping Murphy is just a producer and not a writer, like ACS, otherwise it'll be a Mommie Dearest campfest.

I was sorely disappointed with AHS and Scream Queens this season and was glad to see the end of them. I am looking forward to Feud, big time. The EW cover of the actresses in their roles was deliciously chilling esp JL as JC.

Sounds interesting. When is it on? It starts Sunday March 05th at 10:00 pm eastern time on FX. And to the OP, I am looking forward to it. I've liked most of Ryan Murphy's shows and I've always been a fan of old movies. It should be good. epguides.com/Feud/

Bette Davis had a very noticeable Mid-Atlantic accent, and I doubt that Sarandon will be able to imitate that accent well. But, I do intend to watch this series even though I'm sure it's going to be a campfest.

I'm Hoping this is one of the times he hits it out of the park. Looks like he's going to have a Hand in some of the writing so we'll see.

I think this will be pretty good, too. Love Jessica Lange...though Susan Sarandon seems an odd choice for Bette Davis. Sarandon has 2 (or 4 ) physical features that make her an obvious choice to play Davis: her eyes and chest. Plus it helps that she can act.

I had no clue it even existed until that commercial during the Super Bowl. Cannot wait to watch it!

Can't for this either. I haven't even seen an ad for it but can't wait to watch. Does anyone know how many episodes it will have?

I guess I lacked the magic touch. If you look down about ten posts you'll see I started a thread entitled THE FEUD and discussed this series, but all I got were 15 views and no replies. LOL
Anyhoo, as I said in my original post, this looks like something right up my street, and I'm eager to see this. I love all things classic and vintage, and that includes period piece remakes.
My only quibble is that Susan Sarandon seems dreadfully and woefully miscast as Bette Davis. Jessica Lange seems to be pulling Joan Crawford off beautifully (how could she not? JL is a class act!)
We'll see when it finally comes out. I have high hopes. I've read my share of books re: the drama between them and aspects of their personal lives that I find fascinating. At this early juncture my only reservation is what I see as the potential totally erroneous miscast of Sarandon in such an iconic and classic role as Bette Davis. I don't think she has the chops.

Hey Crusher, I love your avatar! OMG, that is just way too cute for words. Typical Thursday....
Holy crap Sarandon looks gorgeous. She looks almost the same now as when she was in Rocky Horror. Whoever has done her work has done a brilliant job. She's stunning.
I wasn't aware she was approached to play Bette Davis before, ever, at all. I just can't see it. I feel like I've watched enough Davis movies, seen interviews, read books, that I feel like I have a bead on her, and without actually seeing all of this, I still can't seem to see this as not being a very good fit.
Lange looks drop-dead as Joan Crawford. Playing people who are so iconic, you're going to be under heavy scrutiny. This will be interesting.

I'm looking forward to it - been looking forward to it since it was announced last year!
As for Murphy, I haven't seen season 6 yet of AHS, I'm watching season 5 now on Netfli; it's OK, but very notable that Lange is not in the cast and very missed. I heard mixed things about 'Hotel' and it really is a mixed bag for me (Lady GaGa is not doing it for me).
People Vs. OJ was better than I expected, and I'm hoping FEUD will live up to that.
(Never watched Scream Queens).
