Tbh, I've never heard of that guy but I noticed that everyone said he's a big deal. Halle is way bigger than that Teller bloke. So I think it's a bit different. Obviously, sometimes a big actor will play a cameo role but I don't know if the Janet part will be
that small. I don't think Janet will get a huge amount of screen time but I don't think it will be a tiny part, either, so it wouldn't fall into the category of being a 'fun' cameo.
They haven't cast anyone (so far) who is super, super famous and I wonder if that's deliberate.
I've seen people suggesting that Halle Berry *is* going to play Grace, the nanny. Which is definitely less convincing than the idea that she might play Janet.
But, y'know, maybe it
will turn out to be Halle or someone equally famous. They are definitely holding back announcing the casting for Janet. Seems like they're going for a big reveal. So maybe it does have to be someone that big to make that kind of a splash.
I'm still not convinced but that's just me!
I disagree. Halle is a big superstar - as in, even I know who she is and I don't really care about films. My point is, she's a big deal (hence the big paycheck) and I think casting someone as famous as her in a smaller part ... I'm not convinced Halle Berry would go for it. Of course, I could be wrong and that's fine. We'll have to see. I'm just saying, I'd be very surprised if she did. I could see it as a possibility if it was a biopic about Janet. I could definitely see her wanting to explore
that story in detail. Since it's Michael's story and the role probably isn't going to be huge ...
