It looks as though not everyone is on board with Catherine Zeta-Jones' Hollywood plans these days. The actress is being slammed by media outlets for being miscast in the new film, Dad's Army with many criticizing the move, saying the English classic doesn't need to be remade.

According to Paul Routledge of The Mirror on Friday, he says that Zeta-Jones doesn't belong in the film because as a woman, she has "no place" to be there.

He wrote, "Dad's Army is a saga of the Home Guard in World War Two. It's all about men. Men occasionally making fools of themselves, I grant you, but men all the same. The clue is the title. It's not the Women's Land Army or the Fanys. It's Dads, stupid boy!"

He added, "So why introduce a femme fatale, in the (admittedly shapely) shape of Catherine Zeta-Jones, playing a hot-shot journalist who is sent to write about my platoon?"

This isn't the first time that Zeta-Jones is being slammed by critics, as earlier this month they also blasted her for signing up to play Griselda Blanco, the first woman to be a Colombian drug lord in The Godmother. Many critics are calling it a miscast, saying that Zeta-Jones looks nothing like the fearless Blanco, who was a huge figure in the Miami drugs wars of the 1970s and 1980s.

According to Deadline, the film will be directed by Eva Sorhaug while Frank Baldwin will be writing the script. The film is scheduled to start shooting sometime next year.

Many critics, though, are saying that Zeta-Jones might not be the right fit for the role, and even doubting her ability to transform to Blanco on the big screen.

Miami New Times writes, "Catherine Zeta-Jones is the furthest thing from what Griselda Blanco actually looked like unless they're planning on caking Zeta-Jones with an abundance of make-up and a weight change to accompany that. It's not unlikely that Zeta-Jones could change herself drastically for the role, as other women have to portray conventionally unattractive women -- Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos for instance -- but it's doubtful it'll actually happen."

Actress Yolonda Ross even expressed her dismay on Twitter by writing, "I'm sorry but what part of this casting makes any kind of sense? Come on Hollywood. Are There NO LATIN actresses???"

So far, Zeta-Jones has not made any comments about the role.
