Mrs. Doubtfire 2?

We’ve all seen the Youtube clip of this Scottish woman, Susan Boyle, bringing down the house with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream on Britain’s Got Talent. Her everywoman story became such a sensation that— virtually overnight— Boyle was everywhere we looked. And now it appears they are going to make a movie about her life.

So then, who have they tapped to play Boyle?

Robin Williams.

I swear I’m not making this up. For some reason, studio execs apparently think that hiring an actual woman to play Boyle is such a bad idea that they’ve instead decided to bring in Euphagenia Doubtfire.

Now, this is a slap in the face.

I don’t care what Boyle might say about it to reporters: this is a bummer. And not something one is just “okay” with.

From what I gather, the whole premise of the movie is to chronicle Boyle’s triumphant rise and highlight the difficult things she has had to overcome in her life.

Oh really? Such as having Patch Adams portray her in a movie even though Meryl Streep was interested in the role?

My heart goes out to you, Boyle. You deserve better.
