In the end, there’s a strong case to be made that The Disaster Artist lucked out with the casting of Ari Graynor as Ms. Danielle.
The actress (much like the movie itself) has garnered praise from critics for her performance as Danielle and Lisa, and beyond that, adding Britney Spears to the already-stacked ensemble of performers could’ve potentially tipped the scale a bit too far into the realm of stunt casting.
As Ari Graynor noted in her remarks to Yahoo Entertainment, the possibility of stepping into the role of Lisa definitely seems hilarious, but we will likely never know if it would’ve been the right call.
