The way we’ve always run things is we work on things together up until one’s going, and either I oversee a movie or he oversees a movie during production and we give each other our other points of view while we’re in post. So while I was doing Twilight and New Moon he was doing Dear John. While I was doing Eclipse he was doing Everything Must Go. During Breaking Dawn we have a couple of films that’ll probably go that he’ll be overseeing; one’s a Fernando Meirelles Janis Joplin movie with Amy Adams playing Janis Joplin. The other is a ten-year high school reunion movie that Jamie Linden, who wrote Dear John, is writing and directing, and hopefully Channing Tatum and a bunch of his buddies are going to do it.

This definitely falls under the category of role rumors since I can find no other information about it.  If true, this would be an amazing role and opportunity for Amy. I know she has the acting chops to pull off such a complicated and multi-layered character, but can she do justice to the singing? We all know Amy can sing but Janis’s voice was unique and something that defined her.  I wonder if Amy would be able to capture that.  What are your thoughts?
