she is the ONLY thing that would put asses in seats for this dreck... might's well pull the plug right nowHaha, shooting themselves in the foot again I see! She would have drawn in a lot of normals to watch it, putting a real tranny in the starring role will relegate it to a straight to bargain bin release.
Wow, talk about a new low for movies. I haven’t been to one in years and it doesn’t look like they’ll be seeing me in a theater any time soon.
Another gutless Hollywood drone whose career has already peaked. The make-up team would have won the Academy Award if they were able to make her into a creature as hideous as the real butch she was supposed to portray in the movie.
tranny owner of a massage parlor that runs a prostitution ring. Why on earth would she accept the role in the first place, of a pretend woman trafficking real women, an embarrassment to anyone’s career.
I am sure the producers wanted Scarlett Johansson to play the main character because she is a good looking woman. The real life man not so much.
This movie would be a hard sell to middle America with Scarlett Johansson.
Having a “real” man play the part will make it all but impossible.
I predict lots and lots of OSCARS for all involved. /s
But then Hollywood today is making movies for themselves, not for the mass audience.
A black or other minority can play any traditionally white character and that's fine (see Annie and the Honeymooners remake), even encouraged. But if white were to play a traditionally minority character, that's "whitewashing".
A gay or transgendered character can play a straight character and that's fine (see Neil Patrick Harris and Ian McKellan in...well pretty much every role) . But don't you dare put a straight actor in the role of a gay or transgendered character because that's "insensitive".

Maybe Rosie O’Donnell is free to audition for the role.
She made a good “Steve Bannon” last year, when SNL was thinking of having Rosie portray Steve.
That is a seriously unflattering picture.
Ya give ‘em an inch, they’ll take a mile...
My theory is she used this as an excuse to get out of the project. That director’s last movie was horrendous.
About the only role she could get after hacking her hair off.
I read the real life person the character is based on was not trans but dressed as woman to work at the massage parlor.
They’re going to make a movie about a transsexual/transgender/trans-whatever who ran massage parlors? I thought that movies on the topic had already been made, and are available all over the internet.
No one so far has commented on the movie title. Rub and Tug. Really.
should a biological male get the role or biological woman as was the person the film is about?
so much for acting if you have to hire the actual thing to portray the role.
Hollywood controlled buy the first group to grab signs and cry.
