Do you think Kim Basinger was not the best for Elena?


Kim always came off as playing such innocent characters to me, and has a real good girl look about her.

If they got someone like Sharon Stone, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Fiorentino, or someone like that, I thought it would be a better choice.

What do you think?

Kim Basinger used to be a very sexy and pretty lady, but I watched a brief scene of her in the trailer and I thought she looked weird, like if she had a problem with botox or something..Her face looked really weird, I did not like it..

I dont think she matches for the role, maybe 10 years before, but now she looks tired and bored, at least in that scene she did not look good considering she was a sex bomb..

I had imagined someone like the actress Gail O'Grady, I think she is a mature woman and really attractive and sexy, just like the one portrayed in the book.She gives the image of a business woman, serious ,mysterious and sexy.

I dont think Kim was the best choice. I thought Elizabeth Hurley would have been perfect for the role.
