- Shailene Woodley and Joseph Gordon-Levitt chat with ET's Denny Directo about 'Killer Heat,' premiering Sept. 26 on Prime Video. The actress opens up about playing Janis Joplin in an upcoming biopic, after her years-long journey to bring the 'Me and Bobby McGee' singer's life story to the big screen. The stars also break down what they love about their go at film noir in the Greece-set private detective tale, based on Jo Nesbø's short story, 'The Jealousy Man.'
The movie The Rose is Janis Joplin adjacent. Thank you, Shaliene for this. I can't wait
Wow! Can't wait! Hope they do her justice!!!
They better do this biopic JUSTICE!! bc Janice was that soul queen and she understood being the "black sheep" the "outcast" for being "DIFFERENT" I got into her music on my own & she wasn't no KAREN!! she wasn't a IMITATOR of black culture, she was HERSELF! who was INSPIRED by the BLUES, SHE had SOUL & was pure ROCK & roll
Ready for this Janis joplin bio pic📽Kristofferson and Janis 🫡(IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW)
I always thought Jennifer Lawrence would have been the perfect actress to portray Janis. And if it was made like 20 years ago, Pink would have been a good candidate for the part but can she acts ??? Good for Shailene for winning this part cause she's as good as a J-Law . Same brilliant, energetic, intense, passionate, natural way of acting. She can slay in that role and even got an oscar cause Janis had a very rich, intense life. Full of adventures, of ups and downs. She was a pretty fascinating character ! Good luck Shailene ! I know you can do it ! ❤
Shai-Wood as good as J-Law? Good one!
I thought of Lana Del Rey
@@TheListenerCanon Absolutely ! I mean it ! Give her the right part and she slay that ! You haven't seen all her filmo obviously.
She does resemble her a little bit. This is going to be so good! Love Janis! Love Shailene! :)
Those sarcastically raised eyebrows & eye rolls to their surprise/amazement were hilarious.
I am so excited about the biopic of Janis Joplin. I am such a big fan of her. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
That's nice to hear
Wow that movies been shelved for years!!! How'd they finally make it happen!!! Wow....
Shailene, no joke, if you want to pull this off you will have to channel her and you will be fine.
Everyone keeps saying how Shailene is perfect for this part, but I'm just not sure. I like Shailene, I think she's a wonderful actress, very talented, but playing Janis is no joke. Janis has been gone 54 years this October 4th, and they've been trying to make a biopic for years, the closest they have come was The Rose with Bette Midler. If they're going to do a movie about Janis, I'm hoping they'll get all the facts right, she was a very complex person with a lot of little details and idiosyncrasies, that need to be addressed, I hope they do their research thoroughly. One of my concerns is that Janis was small, around 5'3/5'4 I believe and Shailene is tall, 5'8/5'9, little details like that are important, and her voice, not just her singing, but how she spoke, and that laugh, very distinctive. I did have the honor of meeting Janis on a couple of occasions, once at KSAN radio the day her dog George was stolen (she was heartbroken) and another time I ran into her at the Fillmore West. She was actually a very shy person, but friendly. Anyway, I hope Shailene does her justice, I'm rooting for her...🙂
Are they probably gonna name the movie “Piece of My Heart” ? Will it be distributed by 20th Century Studios or Fox Searchlight Pictures, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros Pictures, Lionsgate, or Sony Pictures/ Columbia Pictures or TriStar Pictures?
Nice
Nothing will ever come close to Jenna Maroney as Jackie Jormpjomp on 30 Rock tho.😜
Dope is nature's way of telling a rock star they make too much money..Joplin, Morrison, Hendrix...to name a few.....and that often jumps to other celebrities .....
The current trend in bio pics is to create lavish love letters that either seek to retell tales in favor of the living or to cleanse the tale in favor of the dead.
My fear here is that they will make her uglier even than she was treated and less beautiful than she actually was.
My fear for the woman that portrays Janis Joplin is that she will attempt to imitate her and both fail the subject and stain her career.
Janis Joplin was deep and complex - and lived in complicated times which are almost always misportrayed or stereotyped. Her drug and alcohol use was multi-channeled and all too easy to make the central focus of the moatvdynamic times of her life.
And her talent - her stage abilities and that absolutely astounding voice of hers is inimitable.
This is doomed to fail. There I said it.
This sounds like a terrible idea. She's nothing like the character she's portraying, she can't sing, and she's never proven herself as a heavy hitter in acting. Bette Miller and lady gaga were both similar to the underdog rockstar people they portrayed. Johnny cash wanted Phoenix to portray him because he was a great actor. I predict that this movie is going to make a great TV movie one day. Mediocre at best.
