Both are so monstrous. Dear God, No. (I actually think they are probably the two worst actresses in movies today.)

Besides, I believe that Christine contains within her the soul of England. Therefore, I think she should be played by an English actress.

I've been saying Sally Hawkins since BEFORE Happy-Go-Lucky (I loved her in All or Nothing and Vera Drake!). Plus she reminds me of Katrin Cartlidge, who really would have been my choice had she not passed untimely, so it would be almost like she's playing both Katrin and Christine (a la Eddie Izzard playing Charlie Chaplin, but signifying Orson Welles in Cat's Meow).

Your point is valid about Aaron, until one considers that he recently gave his greatest ever performance, in Battle: Los Angeles. He's everything he's usually not. So soulful, moving, patriotic, humane, hunky. I cried buckets.

Meanwhile, Josh Brolin's inflated ego deflates every role.
