Stewart's problem is that she seems capable of very little other than "detached." This proved quite effective in Adventureland (admittedly, the only Stewart movie I've seen other than Panic Room), but isn't exactly versatile.
And Wood has wisely found a way to subvert his Frodoness with Willfred, which is gloriously weird.
Wood and Maguire are absolutely going to be fine -- Matt's right about Wilfred, and if you doubt Maguire go get The Good German. I'd bet on Berry and McGregor as well, though I don't have citations in support.
Stewart isn't really on my radar, but if Panic Room (which I might have seen on a plane or something and vaguely associate with Jody Foster and Forrest Whittaker) is the evidence her big promise and Twilight (which I've shunned) is her big problem then I'll buy that her star might have slipped into a decaying orbit.

Matt's way ahead of me with Wilfred. It's just a perfect vehicle for Wood.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Jennifer Lawrence will be on the next iteration of this list.
ReplyDeleteWood was also rather un-Frodo-like in Sin City.
ReplyDeleteYeah. That list is pretty unimpressive.
