  1. Hmm. I've given it quite a bit of thought as to who I would recast if it was up to me and these are my picks. I've posted a few films from each of my acting picks in case you cant put a face to the name.

    I'd love to see Rutger Hauer in the Paul Gleason principal role. Think of the douchey corporate role he played in Batman Begins, he could bring that "authority" to the role. Obviously famous for Blade Runner and The Hithcer but he's a great character actor.

    As the Janitor? Bruce Campbell - because the fault with most movies is that they don't have Bruce Campbell in them.

    Aaron "Kick-Ass" Johnson would be my Brian. Also in The Illusionist and Nowhere Boy.

    Michael B Jordan from The Wire and Friday Night Lights as John. I've got no problem with recasting parts with actors from other races and this guy would be perfect as the jock.

    Kody Smit-McPhee from Sucker Punch, Let Me In and The Road as Claire

    Saoirse Ronan from Hanna, Atonement and The Lovely Bones as Allison

    Logan Lerman from Percy Jackson and The Three Musketeers as Andy.

  2. Warner Bros wanted DiCaprio to play the Riddler in this movie

    Of course they did - the integrity of the films is of no interest to them so shoehorning a star into an iconic role just for the sake of it is no problem to the suits. But that kind of filmaking by committee ended up giving us Batman And Robin. I like DiCaprio as an actor but in this Nolan continuity, The Riddler isn' going to work. Now a young Hugo Strange...maybe.

  3. Yay, a mirror universe where characters are darker more evil versions of themselves. Oh wait, they did that.

    It'll be fun to see a Flash-centric films though, that guy is undervalued as a potential mainstay of the company. I mean, they're out there trying to push the massive unweildy Green Landern mythos on people when they've got a fun guy who's power is the ability to run incredibly fast? DC's movie hierarchy should be Batman/Superman/Flash, no question.

    Yeah. I think they've never gotten over the cost of the John Wesley Shipp FLash tv series. Sure, it wasn't great, and it cost far too much to make given it's viewing figures but the show was actually not bad by early 90s superhero tv standards! Flash needs a but more respect in live action and as an animated like, not just a JLA appendage.

  4. It looks OK. I've read a LOT of people now saying its ripping off The Raid but as anyone who has been following Dredd for a while, as I have as a long time fan, the script has been floating about for a good few years. It's not ripping The Raid off at all. I had a copy of the Dredd script before The Raid had even started shooting.

    I think this looks like a good Dredd films, it has a kind of John Carpenter siege vibe to it.

  5. I'd love the guys to cover Torchwood, Sarah Jane, K9 And Co etc but I'd understand if they wanted to leave it as the show and nothing else. I remember hoping that Mike and James would keep reviewing superhero cartoons and films once World's Finest had concluded the DCAU canon as well, but there's only so much you can ask of guys who give so much time to give us HUNDREDS of hours of free entertainment. I'm amazed Mike in particular maintains his schedule - he's one of the most dedicated individuals on the web and a hero of fans of geek culture!

  6. For us American types at least who were old enough when Buffy first aired. tongue.gif

    Merlin's super popular among the younger kids these days. That, and it's on teh SyFy.

    Anthony Head also has a history wth Who well before School Reunion having played in the Excelsis series. He also voiced a character in The Infinite Quest
