    They reached out to her a couple days before they launched, and said hey do you want to maybe reconsider that thing where we asked you about this a couple times, and both times you told us to go fuck ourselves

    And then they told the media that they were in discussions with her, when the discussions were her lawyer telling them to go fuck themselves

    And then Altman tweeted “her”

    And then when it launched, it was according to her so freakishly similar that her friends were weirded out by it

    If it was some different actress saying hey this sounds a lot like me, that wasn’t the one that they clearly had in mind when they were making their plans about it, then I could see a pretty strong argument to say hey relax buddy sometimes different people just sound similar

    I don’t really know; I’m not familiar enough with movie people to really listen to it and see what I think and I don’t care enough to investigate. But just based on the above I feel like probably she has a fairly strong case.

      Yeah. Imagine the great advertising and publicity they would get by having it voiced by Scar Jo.

      If she would have said yes, they likely would have dropped the similar sounding voice that they had and released it with the other three voice options, got Scar Jo to come do the voicing, and then released her voice like two weeks later.
