What do you think about the upcoming movies about Sharon? I personally have have mixed feelings about it. No way Iâm watching Charlie Says but Tarantinoâs I donât know yet. I found very disrespectful of his part wanting initially put the movie premiere on her murder anniversary, and then they moved it and itâs okay-ish but still Iâm not a fan of making a movie about her life and death with the obvious risk of glamorizing the murders somehow.
Thanks for the question!
In a word - Nervous.
I do know that Debra gave her blessing to Tarantino and has read the script. However, I donât think sheâs involved in the actual process and there will be changes to the script and editing, no doubt. As a massive fan of Tarantino, Iâm still weary considering what kind of themes he usually works with. Iâm also so nervous for Margot Robbie. I really like her as an actor but she never would have been my choice to play Sharon. I also donât really think she looks like her at all, besides the blonde hair. Their voices as wellâŠso very different! Sharon actually had such a distinct voice. Although, it is really hard to judge right now. I hope it all pulls together and that Debra is happy with the portrayal of Sharon. I do have a little hope that itâll all work out just fine!
She also gave Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish her blessing, and will be producing their film called âTateâ (at least since the last time I read about production, her name isnât listed on the film on IMDB). In this case, I know sheâll be able to guide the director and Kate. Kate Bosworth is a horrible actressâŠIâm sorry but she has the emotional range of a brick BUT I actually think she looks a little more like Sharon (in the face) than Margo?!?!?! I saw some photos Michael Polish posted andâŠ.I can see it slightly. The best thing about this film is that it is 100% about Sharonâs life, nothing to do with her death. That makes me happy so Iâm kind of looking forward to this one too. But also still nervous haha.
The Hilary Duff film looks vile in every way, shape and form. Even if I wasnât a fan of Sharon, judging from the trailer it looks so poorly made, with just bad actors. I donât think Iâll look at it because trying to get through the trailer was so painful and cringe. DYING to see the reviews on this one
I actually had to look up âCharlie Saysâ because I had never heard of it. That makes 4 films that are coming out within the next year or so that will have Sharon in them. Itâs crazy. I canât watch the trailer right now but Iâm under the impression that Sharon isnât in it too much? Either way, Iâm going to look into this one. As far as we know, Debra hasnât said anything about it yet.
I totally get you, though. I definitely donât want to see her death glamourized and Iâll be paying close attention to the early reviews when they come out. I canât help but be highly critical of these and I really hope Tarantino and Polish do respectful, good jobs for their films. As for the other two, both look like a hard pass for me. We shall see.
