Aniston says no to Derailed

I have no idea what Jennifer Aniston is thinking, but quotes of late have her suggesting Derailed wasn't that great and that she'll not do thrillers again. Excuse me? Do you watch films at all?

I watched Derailed and gave it a healthy three stars, I did like it despite some flaws, and the biggest surprise was Aniston carrying off her role really well. She needs to do far more of this kind of work to become a serious actress - hasn't she been watching her friends roles of late?

From Digital Spy:

"Derailed kind of... derailed," she explained. "Thrillers are tough. I don't need to do these kinds of movies. It's like caviar. I don't need to have it again."

Oh, you don't do you? Well you can go back to roles like Rumour Has It and see your career go down the tubes then?

Do you think she means that "this kind of film" was to difficult for her? i'd agree with her on that.

its probably a step to far for a tv actress to do proper acting anyway. Just stick with the easy roles and there you go.

Note; am being sarcastic

Jeez. She's lost it. That was the best film she's been in before or after Friends. If she doesn't want to do thrillers I'm sure she can get loads of parts in romantic comedies playing Rachel but with a different name. Now that should add up to a long lasting career..

But I read from another online news that she thought Rumour Was It pretty much lost it, not Derailed. Isnt she in a new film with Vince Vaughn, called "The Break-Up"?

Amen Richard. Amen.

She was great in this movie. NOT Rachel. We need more of this from her.

she's just upset because she found out that someone like ME enjoyed a film she was part of.

seriously, Derailed was one of the best and most surprising films i've seen lately.

She appears to be saying it about both films.

I think maybe she just doesnt like seeing herself as such a [against type character - removed spoiler, which was very generously pointed out anyway. Hope you don't mind mogulus - RB]?

I mean, she was a pretty nasty chick, and that's so against her grain...

I have not seen Derailed yet so thanks for that Richard!

Not a problem, Rich. I'll be a bit more creative next time, eh?

Oh and thanks to Simone for helping me find this site.
