WHAT, NO ANDIE MACDOWELL? A British publication has listed the worst movie casting decisions of recent years. On Helena Bonham-Carter in Planet of the Apes, they write:
There are ways of ditching your Merchant-Ivory past but, Helena, this isn't the route you want to go. Covering yourself in latex and fur and still expecting to make-out with Mark Wahlberg, when he's got the scantily-clad Estella Warren hot for him, is just embarrassing. 'It's flattering to be asked to be a chimp, because you know they haven't cast you for what you look like,' was Helena's take on the subject. Only in Hollywood could having a Casting Director tell you they visualised you as a monkey be considered good news.

Somehow, George Lucas' latest Star Wars movies were unscathed by the article. Scathe them, and others, here.
