Jessica Biel Shows Some ‘Easy Virtue’

Posted by Adam Sweeney (adam@filmschoolrejects.com) on August 29, 2008

Jessica Biel’s name isn’t synonymous with character pieces, but we’ve got pics to prove that she’s ready to take a stab with the Hitchcock remake Easy Virtue.

Today brings us some pics of the former “7th Heaven” sexpot as the role of Larita Huntington, an American divorcĂ©e branded with the slanderous title of an easy virtue, given to divorced women of the era. Judging from the pics, it looks like she might be able to pull it off. Have at it with the sex jokes, boys.

The film is based on a Noel Coward play and set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month.

I personally thought Biel wasn’t too bad in The Illusionist, and it can never hurt to act alongside Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas, both accomplished period stars. Besides, we have to give Biel props for the “timeless classic” Summer Catch, as well as the Jonathan Taylor Thomas epic I’ll be Home for Christmas.

Do you think Jessica Biel will break out in this role? Who’s your favorite Jessica in Hollywood?

  • Disappointing photo selection. I understand using pics from the movie since they're new (and the reason for the post) but this is Jessica Biel we're talking about people! Shame on you and your lax editorial duties!
  • Jessica Biel is so hot she makes me sexist.

    And Rob, sorry, but I disagree. I like these character shots. They show off her elegant beauty. With a little imagination, that's all it takes. Though your crude self probably needs fake photoshopped hardcore photos to be pleased. When will you find love? When you love yourself, Rob. When you love yourself.
  • I'm loving myself right now Fure.
  • Pfft. I served you that one on a silver platter and hate myself for it.
  • So wait...who got served?
  • @ Hunter

    You know damn good and well that we keep all the good pics for ourselves and lock them in a vault like Scrooge McDuck.

    @ Fure

    Flight of the Conchords rules. I also agree with your thoughts that seeing Biel in some different attire, namely something other than a swimsuit or near Adam Sandler, is intriguing.
  • Summer Catch is definitely a timeless classic. It may be the greatest baseball movie involving the Actor formerly known as Prinze ever made.
  • It's great to see such an attractive girl so conservatively dressed. Thank you Puritans! And thank you FSR.
  • If you can't appreciate the clothed female form, you're a heathen and lack the ability to appreciate the true beauty of a lady, Abaius.
