> I don't think she was Alfonso Cuaron's first choice either

According to Wikipedia, Angelina Jolie was the first choice, but in my opinion that would have been a much, much worse choice. What's wrong with Bullock? To me she seems plausible as an astronaut at least as far as physique and appearance go.

She's not a career astronaut though, from what I understood she's playing a scientist, sent there to fix the station, having to face her fears and thinking quick on her feet, which makes it all the more believable.
