The actress, who won an Academy Award for her performance in 12 Years A Slave, stars in the upcoming blockbuster as Maz Kanata.
But according to the SUN,director JJ Abrams reportedly wasn't impressed by her performance and has been forced to cut several of her scenes down in the final edit.
He was left unconvinced by what he saw and ordered for Lupita's dialogue to be re-recorded.
A source told the paper:
"The CGI seemed to be what Lupita struggled with, perhaps because it meant she felt less of a connection to the character."It’s ultimately quite embarrassing for Lupita but she’s still thrilled to even be in such an iconic movie."
"There was a general sense that something wasn’t working so a lot of her scenes ended up being either re-worked or cut. Unfortunately she just didn’t end up delivering.
"It does happen in Hollywood, but not usually with Academy Award winners. Her part in the final film will now be a lot smaller than was initially expected.
That's bad..bad!
ReplyDeleteThis is what Africans like to read and see. The Downfall of a fellow African. Even if it is not true. The propaganda would be spread just by an insider/A so called Sister/brother whose primary role would be to protect a fellow African as expected. But, No~~Way! Sad for AFRICANs
ReplyDeleteChaiiiii,
ReplyDeletebut lupita had very few scenes and wasnt al that great imo in that slave move. next thing we were hearing her name everywhere. politics! all na politics. her uncle is a strong political figure in kenya n thats where her connections come from. not exactly her acting prowess so i'm not surprised
ReplyDeletetht's what happens when u get celebrated too early without having done much or paying tithes. lupita sorry o. go practice more. i read that the cgi was what she struggled with. yankee technology n african technology can't be compared in the film making industry. just take this as a learning curve
ReplyDeleteEyahh :(
ReplyDeleteIf anyone of u have watched 12yrs a slave, you would not be surprised. Her role was waka pass role in the movie, this is what happens when someone is overhyped! Even her role in shuga season 1, same waka pass. Sad but, the chick is better off with waka pass role. There is no real acting talent there
