While it might be good that WW gets in a movie at last, it's not her own movie, they haven't cast someone likely able to carry her own movie, and the casting of a stick-thin supermodel type doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that it'll be anything other than tokenist wank-fodder for dudebros...
