Sean Baker Cast Mikey Madison as Anora (2024) After Seeing Her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Scream (2022)?🎥👻😱🎬👀

I saw the Sean Baker movie 'Anora' the other day with my younger son Sean after reading that this was the movie with all the Oscar buzz hanging around it.

My son is a big Tarantino fan, unlike me, but I did think that 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' was a very good movie and have seen it a number of times ... mainly because Margot is in it:-)

And oddly enough, the cinema complex we went to see 'Anora' has a big mural of what I imagine is Margot Robbie on the front veranda.

This is the first time that either me or my son had been to the Angelica cinema in Brisbane.

And we were impressed.

"Baker cast Mikey Madison after seeing her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Scream (2022). He hired Madison without an audition. Madison learned Russian, visited strip clubs, and studied the Brooklyn accent to prepare. Although some media outlets incorrectly reported that Anora Mikheeva was Uzbek-American, Baker said that Anora "is of Russian ethnicity" and "from one of the post-Soviet countries [Ukraine?]""

My son really loved this movie as far as storyline went ... me not so much.

But Mickey Madison's "dance routines" in the movie really won me over;-)

It will be interesting to see if the movie picks up many ... or any awards, as we head into the Oscar season.

I wonder what QT thinks of this movie?
