Hilary Swank is Amelia

Mon, 26 May 2008 at 2:57 am

Hilary Swank and costar Ewan McGregor are spotted on the set of their new movie, Amelia, at the historic event space Carlu in Toronto, Canada on Sunday.

Swank plays the title character, the legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world. McGregor plays author Gore Vidal’s father, the great love of Amelia’s life. Richard Gere (not pictured) plays Amelia’s husband, George Putnam. Virginia Madsen plays the ex-wife of Putnam.

Doesn’t matter if you don’t like her hair, so long as it is a historically faithful representation of what Earhart’s hair looked like, and she had a moptop indeed. See: http://www.ameliaearhart.com/about/photo.html

She looks awful and that dress is not flattering on her at all.

she’s playing amelia earhart & that’s what she looked like. actually, hillary makes a very good amelia, who was one of the coolest chics ever. she is an icon & i’m glad they are doing a big, hollywood movie about her. who is cooler than amelia earhart??? don’t hate on hillary for looking like her, she’s an actress and a damned good one at that. she has to look like the character she plays, not a gdamned model. she’s an ACTRESS, let’s remember what that is people, all the tabloid stuff has affected people’s minds, they can hardly remember anymore what it’s like to be an actress and not a lindsey, nicole or paris freak.

Amy Adams is also playing Amelia for her role in the Night At the Museum 2. Both will be released next year. Who will give the better performance??

Time for honesty @ 05/26/2008 at 7:43 am

I hate to say this, but someone has to be honest and say it as it is:

She is too ugly to be a film actress.

The big screen is for talented people. She is overrated acting-wise, but her bigger flaw, is that you cannot be entertained when someone as ugly is there.

Same goes for Zach Braff.

Helena @ 05/26/2008 at 7:48 am

I like the dress.
#12, I’m assuming both performances will be completely different. Adams will give Amelia a funny side like Robin Williams did in the first one.
This version is pure oscar-bait.

PS. I didn’t even know Ewan was in this!

I remember hearing that he had a mole removed due to cancer scare, was it the one of his forehead? I loved that mole, it gave him character! But I guess there are some things you have to do.

O.M.G…
I am supposedly named after Amelia Earhart..
does she actually looks this awful??
i thought she looks prettier..
it’s not a really good portrayal of her..

billie @ 05/26/2008 at 9:16 am

god, time for honesty, how can you be so shallow??? hillary swank is not ugly, that’s just unkind and not true. she may not look like michelle pfeiffer or audrey hepburn, but so what? she’s a great actress and being good looking doesn’t mean good actress. there are a million examples to back that one up. in fact, looks don’t have much to do with it, acting that is. look at the men: robert deniro, dustin hoffman, robert duvall, all have charisma but they are no lookers. you think meryl streep is gorgeous, not really. our society is so looks obsessed it’s sad.

Jeez. She is playing a role!

Also, I’m glad they are doing a film about Amelia. I did a huge project on her when I was a kid.

Hillary is a very ugly woman, and she will not age well.

The problem is that she has a HORSE FACE and very big teef!

I really don’t like Ewan’s hairstyle in this film and he….might looks old a bit. Anyway, Ewan is a good actor! I support him!
