I am entirely more excited about Underworld 3 than I should be. I blame that almost entirely on Michael Sheen, but Bill Nighy's also part of it. And Rhona Mitra in leather.
As for Terminator 4, wait and see. I'm probably expecting too much. Shouldn't get such high hopes about it.
I will never understand how the franchise has managed to hang unto its fantastic British cast, but I'm so glad Nighy and Sheen and Mackintosh (Talis!) will be back. Rhona is also gorgeous, which definitely helps.
I'll get excited about Mackintosh in his own right, but I cannot for the life of me remember Talis. Not that I remember much from Evolution, which might explain it. I'm expecting so much more from Rise of the Lycans. Seriously, it's all Sheen's fault.
No link whatsoever, but I've finally read Watchmen, and oh my god I am aching for the movie to be released. While kind of fearing it. I don't want to be disappointed.
My typo: it's Tanis. He was the historian/clan archivist who basically told Selene to go from A to B. But he made the role memorable for me because, a) in his first scene he's making out with two half-naked women, b) he's a sarcastic, clever coward with these crazy eyes, and c) any historian who gets thrown into exile for TELLING THE TRUTH gets bonus points in my books.
I reread it just before the trailer came out, in anticipation for the film. I still love Jon, and Dan and Laurie.
Definitely. To make a comic book movie work, you need a RDJ. To make a Disney ride movie work, you need Johnny Depp. I wonder why nobody's yet made a good movie based on anime. ;)
Cowboy Bebop is the first anime I ever finished, ever made me cry, ever bought and just NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
I TYPED OUT ALL OF THOSE 'NO'S BECAUSE I AM THAT SERIOUS ABOUT HOW MUCH FAIL KEANU WOULD BE AS SPIKE. I have a special place in my heart for Keanu--I'm an unabashed Matrix obsessive--but he's all sorts of wrong for the part. Too lifeless, too old, too NOT SPIKE. What the shit, Hollywood? JUST BECAUSE THE GUY TOOK SOME MARTIAL ARTS FOR ONE--OKAY, THREE--MOVIE(S) DOESN'T MEAN HE GETS TO PLAY ANY CHARACTER WHO IS FAST LIKE A NINJA.

There needs to be a campaign. I'm with you on everything. Whoever thought up that casting idea needs to have their head checked.
