JA in Lily James, Pamela Anderson, Sebastian Stan

by Jason Adams

What are your feelings on Lily James, TFE readers? I am aware feelings about her seem to be all over the map, at least in the social media world, because whenever I post or tweet about her I hear the gamut of reactions...

I know we've got some Mamma Mia admirers here, and I personally had a sudden and kind of strange revelation last year that I actually think I love her. It came literally out of nowhere -- I hadn't seen her in anything recently when the thought struck me; it was if a mis-fired love-potion landed upon me. I was inexplicably but totally smitten. Even Rebecca didn't kill it.

Anyway I am now contractually obliged to greet all news of her every project with unbridled enthusiasm, whether I understand it or not, and so it goes with yesterday's news that she is going to play bikini icon Pam Anderson in a eight-part Hulu biopic series about the Baywatch star's tumultuous relationship with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. Attached to that meaty role would be one Sebastian Stan. Meanwhile Seth Rogen (who is producing) will play the dude who stole the couple's sex-tape, so that particular adventure will be covered, no worries.

The series will be titled Pam & Tommy, no surprise there, and is set to be directed by I Tonya's Craig Gillespie -- Gillespie got Stan's best performance to date in that film, if you ask me, so I'm thrilled they're working together again. So... what do we think of this project? And we can all agree that David Hasselhoff should just play David Hassellhoff, age-discrepancy be damned, correct? Some things are timeless.
