Dunst a Tennis Player??

More info bout this movie:

WIMBLEDON

A British Romantic comedy staring Paul Bettany and Kirsten. Filming is due to begin in June 2003. Kirsten will play a profesional American Tennis Player. Long touted as a starring vehicle for Hugh Grant, the tennis-obsessed picture will see Working Title's Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, David Livingstone and Mary Richards creating yet another typically British comedy to live up to their track record, which includes Bridget Jones's Diary, Notting Hill and last year's About A Boy.

So it's a romantic comedy with tennis as a sideline, how humillianting for tennis, selling it's soul for just a little more fans, this is just a lame a attempt to commercialize tennis.

With special fx, body doubles and computer graphics, Hollywood can pretty much capture anything on film and make it seem real. Tennis wouldn't be any more difficult than, say, learning to dance like John Travolta did so many years ago.
I read that Serena Williams was offered a part. She turned it down saying that she was too busy actually playing tennis to pretend to play tennis.
I think a "tennis" movie is a good thing. Same as football, baseball and any other sport we've seen in various films throuout the years. What's so special about tennis? I'm sure that those who play will flock to see how they're represented on screen. It's a first and long overdo, I say.

ah, so she's already dedicated more time to learning to play tennis than to learning to act. verra good.

Is there a crack in there somewhere, patiodog?

hmmm. maybe, if you look really hard for one...

hmmm, don't think I will.

hmmmm. the whole discussion is whack.

Unwhack us, snood.

Hey, I must be just as whack - I'm here, aren't I?

:wink:

whack.........................................................whack
whack.........................................................whack

That's tennis, alright.

hahahaha!
