I`ve said this before but Rooney really should be working more, these are her peak years.I feel like she`s potentially missing out on some great roles by being so picky.All of her peers are working consistently and on a much wider variety of projects than she is.I really want her to cut loose and do something fun for a change.  |

yep, we're talking about it for some time now, no new projects, nothing lined up  plus Annu the caretaker is a blink-and-you-miss-it kind of role. and MM is screwed up by Weinstein. really nothing to be excited about and to look forward to in 2018. it feels like the worse case scenario comes true right now. She talked about A House possibly for 2018, but she didn't even mentioned it this time..
Yeah, it's a time to give up on Vox Lux and move on. I wonder what exactly gone wrong with the project ? Maybe it's expensive and there isn't enough money ? The script is actually lousy so Rooney and Jude (and Stacy Martin) decided to drop out ? I would like to read the script even now to see what's really about.
As for House in the Sky I'm getting tired of waiting for it tbh. Doubt we'll see this in this decade (if all).
She can’t find something she really wants to do, also she’s has been having a few has set backs … who doesn’t? Well how many years now + the "in a decade" ….well, Carol took almost that time and look what we got. ;) I guess she doesn't want to talk it anymore because she has already. |

Rooney is someone who chooses projects because she feels connected and passionate about. If she does not find something that motivates her to shoot, why should she? Shooting a lot of movies does not make her a better actress or going to give her more success. Between 2016 and 2017 we've had Kubo, Lion, The Secret Scripture, Song To Song, A Ghost Story and Una. The last two being acclaimed, and her performance in Una being her best and most complex one until now.
Why do you guys have to complain so much? You're not her agent telling her what to do. If she has no motivation to shoot a film now she does not have to. If she wants to spend time with her partner, she's more than free to do it. Or to work with several charities like she does. I rather see her do projects that are meaningful for her than shooting 5 films a year.

TSS and StS were made a few years earlier, she didn't shoot all of them at once, they just piled up now. she had very exciting projects lined up for the future, but she dropped 2 of them in a row - Annette and Vox Lux, i was excited and now i'm dissapoited, mostly that she won't be working with Carax. and that she wont's be working at all for a long time. that's why "i have to" complain so much  , not to advise her or told her what to do, how the f. would that be even possible?  but to express my worries or happy moments related to Roons. i know i'm too invested, but it's a great forum to speculate, interprete, share excitments or set backs with a career of an actress we all really admire. that's the point, isn't it? to discuss and talk from different points of view, so yeah when i'm not that happy bunny about something i feel more than free to speak about it here, and sadly now is the time  you're welcome to join and express your thoughts as well, just don't patronize me, pretty please (i'm oversensitive about that tone, sorry ) |

nenya: I was not refering to you in my message, so it's nothing personal at all. It's more the general atmosphere of the forum sometimes. We all are into Rooney and want her to have a great and long career full of interesting projects. But, as she said many times, she chooses projects she feels passionate about as well as making choice based on her space of mind. We don't know why she dropped Annette or Vox Lux. Both projects seem to be interesting and have potential, but it can be that the script is not good. Or maybe she felt she was not right for the role, it can be a million reasons why she drops out of a project. The important is to trust Rooney. Her choices have been very interesting for the past 5 years, and she will continue doing that. But maybe she wants a break or do other projects outside films.

I understand what are you trying to say but believe me, none of us here has any intention to play her agent, far from it. She dropped out of two apparently interesting projects (for the reasons we don't know and can only speculate now) which were already on her list. It's her decision and we must respect it but at the same time we are also a little disappointed, nothing wrong with that. I agree with nenya in that regard.
...and very small number of people know that this movie even exists. That's one part of the problem. In the meantime other actresses of her age and younger get nominated (and some of them for less-challenging work) and being hailed as young "acting powerhouses" and "best of their generation", getting more attention, more offers, more fans, more accolades and all that jazz. Of course it's not all about being in mainstream spotlight (we all know she probably doesn't even care about that), we just feel like she is missing some good opportunities right now - in her best years as an actress, as Lara said. Time is passing quickly. It doesn't need to be five movies per year, two - high profile and indie - is enough if you ask me. But, as I said above, if she wants to take a small rest in her career we, her fans, must support her decision (to be honest I'm surprised that she didn't take a pause a long time ago). If in this period she chose more interesting, challenging (and meaningful to her) projects for the future, all the better. Mainstream or indie. I wouldn't mind if her career takes the same path as Joaquin's. He didn't have many box-office successes but many movie buffs think of him as the best and most interesting actor of his generation. And after all, that's more important than Oscars and any other award.
I agree with you - it's important to trust Rooney. Right now, some of us are just facing small crisis of faith. And we are a bit nervous considering what's happened in the previous week. It doesn't help that the potential good movie and performance (Mary Magdalene) will likely go to nowhere...)

Her choices have been very interesting for the past 5 years, and she will continue doing that. But maybe she wants a break or do other projects outside films. i get it, i know you weren't adressing me directly, but i feel like you were missing the point somehow, it's one of the most sane and friendly forums dedicated to Rooney, and if you're around you know we all respect her, her decisions and choices, but it doesn't mean we should be silent if something bothers us, or isn't going as we hoped for. i don't think we're too critical of her, it's never mean-spirited or disdainful, and nobody is trying to be her agent, but a wishful-thinking and sharing ideas about what we would enjoy is a huge part of the fun. for me at least  this year wasn't too good, projects falling through, scumbag Weinstein, yeah a few great movies came out, but almost ZERO at my country, so i didn't see most of her work yet. i was hoping for a big screen experience (Una, A Ghost Story, Sog to Song should be watched like that, imo), i have no idea if this will happen, so a lot of frustration and disappointment. how too deal with it if not by sharing it here?!  of course she should be doing what she loves and what makes her happy. i agree with mortimer605 , sometimes it seems like she's missing out though, not even awards but great projects and recognition she deserves. and it fvcking pains me  |

My purpose is to write about Una and the Vogue article available in this sites banner. But first, I would like to thank Marc, nenya , and mortimer605 for their comments in this thread, respectfully commenting with differing but intelligent views. Marc you know you can become a member of this mostly happy clan and there are no dues. .... To my point, it seems that the timing of the Vogue article is associated with the U.S. Opening of Una, kind of like the first Vogue article and TGWTDT movie. TWC or not, the pub is great, and apparently the Una performance is note worthy. Hopefully Rooney will start to get more pub (and awards praise, I am still a dreamer) to follow. Not expecting anyone to agree, but hoping for the very, very, best. Charles Here is a link to the Vogue article in case you didn't find it. |
