Lots of people are disputing it.



Where has anyone disputed "that they hired the actor that did the voice months before they contacted SJ"? Links preferred please.


It’s actually just a few comments away, and visible for me from the parent to your comment

> Well, from the start, Altman wanted SJ to do the voice. Perhaps he'd never seen or heard of the movie "her", and the association is just coincidental? After "she" said no, then Altman auditions a bunch of voice talent and picks someone who sounds just like SJ.

I suppose some might imagine asserting the opposite as a distinct concept from disputing but there you have it. You should be able to find a link quite easily.


I don't see where that quote says "they contacted SJ before they hired the actor that did the voice" or anything similar. Perhaps you need to taste it a bit more before you try again.

"Whether or not Altman wanted SJ's voice" and "whether or not they got someone else to do SJ's voice before asking SJ to do it" are two completely independent matters.


> After "she" said no, then Altman auditions a bunch of voice talent and picks someone who sounds just like SJ.

What does 'after' mean to you? Strange response.


What does "picks" mean to you? Strange response.

Do you think they only got one person to do it or something?

If they weren't looking at multiple options then ... why did they still ask SJ?

Oh right because they asked SJ because they hadn't picked yet.
