Most of us are still trying to repair the mental damage suffered from watching Elektra. The question I keep asking myself is “Oh my sweet Jennifer… what the hell where you thinking?!?!”
Well the answer came today. Mark brought it to my attention in the comments section earlier, and the IMDB provides the tough truth of the situation:
Jennifer Garner has declared her latest movie Elektra “awful” – according to her ex-boyfriend Michael Vartan. Us Weekly reports that Vartan, who briefly dated his Alias costar in 2003, still maintains a friendship with Garner, who reportedly told him her Daredevil spin-off wasn’t her proudest piece of work. In an interview with the publication, Vartan is quoted as saying, “I heard (Elektra) was awful. (Jennifer) called me and told me it was awful. She had to do it because of Daredevil. It was in her contract.”
Well, I guess we shouldn’t be surprises by the fact that she was contractually obligated to do the film. Still, I’m amazed some highly paid studio executive read the script to this pile of junk and said “Yeah! This sounds Great!! Here’s 79 million bucks… go make this puppy! It’ll make us all richer!” No it won’t.
