Thought: Top 5 actors that I think should play Roland Deschain of Gilead for “Dark Tower” film…

3 Comments

Ron Howard reportedly said he was going have a big name star to play Roland Deschain of Gilead for the live action, “Dark Tower” movie coming soon to the big screen. I’ve thought of 5 actors that could be perfect for the role.

Here they are!

  • Hugh Jackman – I mean, think about it. The reason I think Jackman would be perfect is because his Wolverine character was so much like Roland Deschain. Roland needs to be a bad ass tough guy like he was in the books, that’s what Wolverine was. Plus, Hugh Jackman has Roland’s look in the “Dark Tower” graphic novels.
  • Thomas Jane – Thomas Jane already played in two different Stephen King movies, Tom was in “Dreamcatcher” and, “The Mist”. Tom wouldn’t be a bad choice for Roland, ’cause he has this tough guy bad ass attitude as well!
  • Christian Bale – Many would disagree with this choice, I’m sure, but Bale wouldn’t make a bad Roland at all. Bale had this tough guy attitude when he played in Batman and “Terminator: Salvation”, which is what Roland needs, so Christian would be pretty decent!
  • Keifer Sutherland – Keifer’s hit show “24” is over and done with, I’m sure he’ll go back to movies full time again soon. I can see Keifer making one badass Roland. He might be able to pull it off.
  • Jackie Earle Haley – The “Watchmen” and “Nightmare on Elm St.” star could fit the Roland role as well. Jackie would be great.

Lets just hope Ron doesn’t get Tom Hanks or Russell Crowe for Roland. Ron and Tom Hanks worked together for so long over the years, I don’t think Hanks is needed for this one. I’m pretty sure Tom Hanks will get a role for “The Dark Tower” series, but not as Roland.

BREAKING NEWS: Hugh Jackman won’t host 2010 Oscars but who do I think will?

Leave a comment

Hugh Jackman has pulled out of hosting the Oscars for the 82nd annual awards for 2010, saying he didn’t want to host two Oscars in a row.

More on it here:

Hugh Jackman out, who do I think will replace him for the next Oscars?

I think the next host will be no one other than Neil Patrick Harris, or Doogie Howser.

When Neil Patrick Harris hosted the last Golden Globes, tons of people were saying he was doing an incredible job and creating a huge buzz everywhere. I bet your money the Oscar officials have their eye on him.

Report: Bryan Singer wants to direct “X-Men 4″…

Leave a comment

It seems that Bryan Singer wants to return to the X-Men franchise. He is in talks with 20th Century Fox to direct the fourth installment of the X-Men series.

It seems he badily misses working on X-Men, that he seemed to come up with a new idea for the next film. Maybe he saw Bret Rattner’s “X-Men: The Last Stand” and thought the film sucked so he can come back to save the series.

Singer directed the first two X-Men flicks, but dropped out of X-Men 3 “The Last Stand” due to immediately jumping on the opportunity to direct “Superman: Returns” for Warner Brothers.

Now that there are no new plans for a new Superman movie in the works due to the Seigels heated feud with DC/Warner Bros, Singer still wants something to do in the comic book genre.

More on it here:

That’s good, I’m glad Singer’s coming back. I fucking LOVED the first X-Men movie, 2nd one was pretty good. Didn’t like the third one.

Singer should have stayed with the X-Men movies, I’m glad he wants back in! Yeah!

Report: Hugh Jackman speaks out on “Wolverine” leak…

Leave a comment

Twentieth Century Fox are not the only ones upset over the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” leak…even Hugh Jackman himself is pissed about it. Jackman has some harsh words to say about it and yes, he sounds pissed!

I can’ t blame the guy. He’s the guy that starred the leading role in, he seems pretty excited and psyched about the film, but the leaker ruined it for all of us.

Those that think it’s okay to steal a movie before release date and put it online, needs a reality check too.

Report: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” leaks online before the movie comes out, FOX aims to destroy who ever leaked it…

Leave a comment

Oh my. Twentieth Century Fox’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” which is a spin off movie from the “X-Men” series, which Wolverine gets his own movie, already been leaked on the internet. It is not the final version, it is an earlier version with missing footage, different music, etc.

Twentieth Century Fox sent out a statement stating they will take down the person that leaked the movie online for all to download. They have the FBI and MPAA investigating.

Variety Reports:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118001984.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

I’m no fan of Twentieth Century Fox, but I gotta say, they are doing a good thing here. Piracy and leaking things before release is illegal. If you look at music albums or DVD movies there is an F.B.I. piracy warning on the back of them.

The pirates that do these things know it’s a wrong thing to do, they do this shit just to piss people off for fun and they are waiting to see if they get caught. That’s the evil of the internet these days. You can’t trust anyone you talk to and you can’t trust anyone you see on on the world wide web.

To those think that the leaker who put this movie online before release is an ok thing to do, don’t even understand what copyright means at all. I hope Fox destroy’s this asshole’s life.

I really am looking forward to seeing “X-men Origins: Wolverine” and you can betcha I will see it on May 1st.

Cool Video: New “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” trailer!!!

Leave a comment

The new trailer for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” is here! The reason the final trailer took so long to release, because there were some re-shoots of certain scenes after they finished the film.

Enjoy it here:

BREAKING NEWS: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE IS “BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR” AT THE OSCARS!!!!

Leave a comment

As expected, I always knew that “Slumdog Millionaire” was going to be the big Oscar winner this year, ever since I first saw the movie in theater. It is well deserved. “Slumdog Millionaire” is such an amazing film, I loved it too much. I think the film is still playing in theaters now, so go see it if you haven’t yet.

Sean Penn ended up winning for “Best Actor”, poor Mickey. Even Sean himself seem dissapointed that Mickey wasn’t up there holding the award instead of him, ’cause Sean gave him a shout out at the end of his speech. Sean Penn deserves it though ’cause he is an amazing actor as well as he is an amazing director too. So I would say that Sean Penn getting the win for “Best Actor” is the shocker of the night.

Kate Winslet winning for “Best Actress” was no surprise to me, I never even seen “The Reader” or “Revolutionary Road” yet, but I’ll see them two movies when they come out on DVD.

A.R. Rahman winning for both music categories was also no surprise to me, I knew it was going to happen. He performed real good too. John Legend ended up singing, “Down to Earth” instead of Peter Gabriel.

Heath Ledger winning was great and seeing his family up there was special. Soon that golden statue will go to Matilda.

Penelope Cruz gets the shocking win for “Best Supporting Actress”, I was thinking the winner for that was going to be Viola Davis, but thought wrong.

Hugh Jackman did a great job hosting the Oscars, he was entertaining doing all them musicals as well. He can really sing, he can dance, he can perform well doing theatre, I was impressed.

The Oscars were very different this year. No John Travolta, no Joaquin Phoenix which is understandable. I’m sure those two guys were watching the Oscars on TV at home but I’m sure they couldn’t be there for other reasons.

I really liked this year’s Oscars, really good show, I think it’s one of the bests in a long time. The Oscars should keep this different format every year. Only thing I didn’t like was Queen Latifah singing over the, “In Memoriam” segments. I think that was the only thing that was pretty poorly done. Other than that, it was a good show. Seeing Eddie Murphy tributing Jerry Lewis was awesome. Great job Academy!!!

See the rest of the winners here:

Thought: Remember, don’t expect your Oscar predictions to be right…

Leave a comment

Remember, what Sid Ganis said now, “You’re in for a surprise”. The Oscars want to keep the winners unpredictable and surprising this year. “Slumdog Millionaire” may not be the big winner tomorrow, Mickey Rourke could even get robbed, the same for Kate Winslet, and Heath Ledger. Just because all of them are winning big at other award shows, does not mean they will win at the Oscars tomorrow too.

I mean what if “Wall-E”, even gets robbed for Best Animated film and “Bolt” could get the win instead? “Kung Fu Panda” could possibly be a big lucky winner too. Do you think “Bolt” could get the win because of Miley Cyrus and John Travolta? Yes.

You may think the winners will be too predictable for you, but to me, I think it will be unpredictable. Any of them can get the win, so don’t go assuming that your winner picks will be the obvious ones.

Tomorrow’s Oscars will be great and am looking forward to watching it.

Report: Hugh Jackman on hosting the Oscars, “I’m going to be drunk and nude on stage”…

Leave a comment

Is Hugh Jackman serious? Or is he joking? Things tell me that Hugh Jackman is not afraid of walking nude on stage in front of thousands of people because I’m sure he did it before when doing his theatrical plays.

He also confirms that the “High School the Musical” kids will perform with him.

Read Hugh Jackman’s interview here:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/20/hugh.jackman.oscars/?iref=mpstoryview

I’m sure Jackman is just fooling with the drunk and nude thing. If he actually does it, I’m sure they’ll censor his privates somehow.

Cool Video: See the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” trailer here…

Leave a comment

I’ve had mixed feelings on the upcoming new “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie, a spin off movie from the X-Men series where Wolverine gets his own movie, played by Hugh Jackman.

Anyhow, this film comes out May 1st, just a few months after the Oscars in Feb. Now you see exactly why the Oscars wanted Jackman as the host. 🙂

The movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” looks pretty fuckin’ sweet. I absolutely loved the trailer!!! The movie looks promising. I’ve had worries that the film would suck, but after seeing the trailer here, I love what I see here so far. I’ll definitely see this in May too.

I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and I love the X-Men series. So this film here is going to be great with just Wolverine alone and not the other X-Men characters.

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” looks to me it’s the beginning of the character of how he first turned into a mutant.

Enjoy it here:
