Sandra Bullock Attached To Play Filibustering Texas Pol Wendy Davis In ‘Let Her Speak’

Deadline Hollywood ^ | November 9, 2017 | Mike Fleming Jr

The hot project du jour is Let Her Speak, a Mario Correa script that just got Sandra Bullock attached, subject to landing a director she likes. Bullock will play Democratic Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis, who on June 25, 2013, hit the national spotlight when, against extraordinary odds, she singlehandedly staged a 13-hour filibuster. Her stamina not only thwarted GOP leaders’ plans to enact one of the country’s most restrictive anti-choice laws, but resulted in the most far-reaching Supreme Court victory for reproductive rights in a generation.

You got to be kiddin' me.

[wmileo]

That’s Entertainment!!!

[winner3000]

She used to be my favorite actress. Et tu Sandra Bullock?
Well, bye!

[Magnatron]

As boring as a filibuster is, I can’t begin to imagine how boring a movie of one would be...

[BenLurkin]

Never heard of Wendy Davis.

[OttawaFreeper]

Oh yes, this apologist for Kermit Gosnell who was to help turn Texas blue. What a pathetic disappointment she turned out to be.

[woweeitsme]

I’ve always liked her, too.

This will be yet another liberal-themed box office bomb.

[Autonomous User]

Just when you think hollywierd couldn’t find a more boring subject to do a myopic on they present us with: “Abortion Barbie; She really is as shallow as her Pink Sneakers and Fake Boobs.

[headstamp 2]

The new America. Land of the perpetually aggrieved and the idiots that lionize them in cinema.

[dforest]

That dog won’t hunt. No movie about Abortion Barbie thank you.

[napscoordinator]

I don’t see why playing a part is such a bad thing. Didn’t Anthony Hopkins play a guy who ate people? Yet he is still beloved. Sometimes we go to far with our craziness.

[napscoordinator]

“This will be yet another liberal-themed box office bomb.”

Really??????????? How will it be a bomb on Netflix?

[4yearlurker]

Wow!! I can’t wait to not see this!

[Howie66]

You haven’t missed a thing.

[Dr. Sivana]

As boring as a filibuster is, I can’t begin to imagine how boring a movie of one would be...

It can be done, but only if you bring back Jimmy Stewart and Claude Rains.

[MrEdd]

In before the Abortion Barbie graphic.

[Dogbert41]

Yeah, our hero, another baby killing politician! Can’t wait to see that!

No difference between her and the Texas church shooter as far as I’m concerned.

Wake up America!

[Dr. Sivana]

I don’t see why playing a part is such a bad thing. Didn’t Anthony Hopkins play a guy who ate people? Yet he is still beloved. Sometimes we go to far with our craziness.

She is not going to get the "Silence of the Lambs" treatment. I fear this will be more along the lines of "The People vs. Larry Flynt". The difference is that we already knew that Woody Harrelson was a brain addled pothead before he took the part. I had not thought that Sandra Bullock was interested in promoting abortionism.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Pure fiction. Congress didn’t have the votes to over-ride Obama’s veto.

(I don’t see why playing a part is such a bad thing. Didn’t Anthony Hopkins play a guy who ate people?)

Playing a fictional character will not hurt an actor. Playing a real person that half the country loves and the other half hates in an obvious positive portrayal, that’s another story.

The same thing works on the negative side. Imagine a beloved actor portraying Ronald Reagan and the script being written by the usual DNC Hollywood types. Wouldn’t you say that the actor would become less beloved?

So far Sandra has stayed away from all politics. This is a mistake for her.
