In other stuff and things...

On the heels of yesterday's Wolverine sequel news comes the greenlighting of a Deadpool solo movie. Woooooo! Snarky Ryan Reynolds! Sign me up!

HBO has signed a director for the GAME OF THRONES pilot. That's not the good news, though and I can hear my wallet cringing from the cost of HBO at this - Tyrion Lannister will be played by Peter Dinklage. Here's hoping there will be more to hear about this coming very soon.

Doc Savage? http://dcublog.dccomics.com/2009/05/06/well-this-guy-looks-familiar-doesnt-he/ Oh, DC, what are you doing? I am interested, I must say.

There continue to be more and more rumors about who will play Green Lantern. So many names being tossed around. C'mon people, cast someone. If you're looking for new names, Bradley Cooper has been thrown into the mix now.

Flash Forward continues to be interesting in premise and I'm looking forward to seeing it. No idea if they'll be able to pull it off. The ads have been cool. The idea is pretty much this: everybody in the world blacks out for two minutes and 17 seconds. In that time, everyone simultaneously experiences a vision of their own personal future.

New Sherlock Holmes pictures are here: http://superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=8311 Those look a little more like I would have thought they should.

Kevin Feige says there will likely be casting news on Thor within 'the next month or so'. To catch you up, if you're not in the running for Green Lantern, you've likely been associated with Thor. Also, there are rumors that put that Josh Hartnett as the frontrunner for Loki, and Natalie Portman for some unidentified female lead character. (Sif maybe?)

...I love Bradley Cooper, so I would love to see him get a big vehicle, and I think he'd actually make a really *good* GA. That would be awesome.

*loves on the Sherlock pictures* :)

But he'd be GL not GA. *grins* I don't know him too distinctly, so I'm holding back on comments at the moment.

...he'd make a better GA. o.o :)

If Josh Hartnett is Loki, it almost wouldn't matter who's playing Thor. Natalie Portman would be icing.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I'd certainly be interested in a movie with that casting.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

I say, Robert D. sure is getting some high profile parts these days..

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Something of a resurgance, indeed.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

If he keeps up the quality of his work, I have *no* arguments with that.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Me either. I didn't have a problem with his work before the drug crash and burn, either. Heh.

[quipper.livejournal.com]

He came back from it, and he came back strong. There is something to be said for that, too.

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

After Lucky Number Sleven, I'll watch pretty much anything Hartnett does.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I love that movie.

I'm hoping he stays on the wagon. I always thought he was a good actor, but I've seen him fall so many times...

from what I saw on like Entertainment tonight or some show like it He said that Sherlock is a hey look everyone is fighting someone or a group at some point in the film.

I really hope he can stay clean as well, because he's a very talented man. I've always have loved his stuff.
