NFT: Is Carrie Coon the next big thing in Hollywood?

Beezer : 7/19/2017 6:21 pm
Quite an actress, formally trained with an MFA, accomplished stage background. Last couple roles she's hit out of the park - Nora Durst in "The Leftovers" and Gloria Burgle in "Fargo, Season 3."





She's in a Spielberg project that's filming now alongside Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep (and Alison Brie) called "The Papers." Here's a blurb on that film: A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between journalist and government. Inspired by true events. Could be good.

Anyhow, I'm becoming a fan. Wondered if anyone else was, as well.

And no. She's never seen my basement.



Yet.

Check out her

I was blown away by how great she was in the Leftovers.

I'm not finished with S2 of Fargo yet so I haven't gotten to S3 where she appears in that - but based on what I saw of her in the Leftovers, I think she has a few more big roles in her future.

She's an outstanding actress and she's an absolute babe too. Not in a model-y, huge tits, SI swimsuit edition type of way - but really hot nonetheless.
That last picture,

she looks like Mr. Ed. Those teeth...
She has to win for the Leftovers

just has to. One of my favorite acting performances ever.
I had to look it up, but she was also

She's phenomenal

My fear is that some studio throws a billion dollars at her to be Batgal or Wonderwoman next to a talking raccoon or whatever the fuck. She's too good to be in that kind of garbage, but I used to think the same about Robert Downey Jr. too so who knows.
GT ...

Yeah, it's the equivalent of a Durant situation in the NBA, imo. lol I would remain a big fan, BUT ... I could be prompted to dislike her under talking-rodent-sidekick scenarios.

If she was given a ton of money to play some crappy role in a superhero movie or something corny like that, I'd just never watch it and pretend it didn't exist. Problem solved.

While I get the overall point, even if she did cash in it wouldn't mean she's married to the character. IMO she should get a huge movie deal, she earned it. Just hope she doesn't go Hugh Jackman and make 38 Wolverine movies when he can put stuff out like Prisoners instead.
She's no Molly Pan

She's a handful of Molly Pans  
Beezer : 7/19/2017 8:49 pm : link
and then some.

And Molly is very nice. (And safe. For the record.)
She is very good

I was commenting on her acting as well as Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul) just recently. Two outstanding female actors.

i don't see it personally. I think she's great but she's a great ordinary. I can't see her pulling off the big-busted superhero type. I can't see her as any sort of action hero.

This comment made me think of Dennis Reynolds from Its always sunny in Philadelphia.

Specifically, it reminded me of this scene.

Carrie Coon is beautiful in an "every day girl" way...  
Chris684 : 7/20/2017 9:37 am : link
She doesnt have that celebrity hotness like a Blake Lively who just gets out of bed and is hot. She is a sometimes average to above average woman who then at other times jumps off the screen with hotness. I love that about her.
Agreed,  
Brown Recluse : 7/20/2017 9:48 am : link
she is fantastic.

Nora Durst is easily one of my favorite characters ever.

I didn't like the show the Leftovers, so I didn't see much of her in that. She was great in S3 of Fargo even thought he season wasn't as good as the first two. I'm interested in that Hanks movie.
Hell

that she wasn't even nominated  
PaulBlakeTSU : 7/20/2017 1:57 pm : link
for The Leftovers (nor was the show nominated for ANYTHING other than a guest actress) is a dereliction of duty by the Academy.

She was incredible as Nora Durst.

The immediate reaction/backlash to that news and the fact that it was a top trending story on Twitter the day the Emmy nominations were announced was their vindication and actually kinda cooler than a Emmy nod. Especially for a show that was never a ratings juggernaut.
