When Is It Time to Ditch the Small Screen for the Big?
March 24th, 2008 admin Posted in News |
She was in the movie of the summer, she’s one of the most desired women in the world, she was the picture of old-Hollywood glamour at the Oscars.
So, why is she still on the small screen?
With “Knocked Up” and “27 Dresses” under her belt, as well as an Emmy award and a Golden Globe nomination, Katherine Heigl looks like she’s outgrown her “Grey’s Anatomy” scrubs.
While Heigl’s representative denied that she’s looking to jump from the show before her contract expires, it seems logical that the 29-year-old actress will eventually pull a George Clooney — leaving “ER” launched his Oscar-winning film career — and ditch the doctor drama to focus on big screen projects.
“When the TV series has peaked after a few seasons, as Katherine’s has, the time may be good to try that move over to movies,” said Bob Berney, president of independent film studio Picturehouse. “[Film is] still the gold standard. There’s still that Academy Award possibility, there’s still a snobbery with film.”
