RE: Robbins & Chiklis in Fantastic Four
I think Michael Chiklis is a great pick to play the Thing, only I hope he's CGI and not make up, cause then it will ruin the movie. As for Robbins, he doesn't strike me as the villian, and I've never seen him do a German accent, so I'm a little scared on this pick, but maybe Robbins could surprise us.

Personally, I hate it. John Malkovich would have been a great person to play Doom pre mask. Post mask I would say James Earl Jones but it would make Doom too much like Darth Vader. I still stand by my original choice of having Brian Dennehy to do the voice of the Thing. Then again, Vin Diesel would be an interesting choice for the voice and even the pre transformation Thing. Any word on who are the other three of the Four?
- Rick
Doom is one of my favorite comic characters. I even collected the Doom 2099 series...I know. I hope this is not true. Robbins is an over rated actor and I don't think he's at all right for the role. John Malcavich or Gary Oldman would make great Dooms, they would just need to use camera tricks to make them look a bit bigger.

I don't think that Michael Chiklis should do Fantastic Four. Not that I doubt his talents, but I think it could be bad for his career. Right now when anyone thinks about him they think about The Shield, which is a very realistic and dark drama. No matter how they decide to present the Fantastic Four, the mere fact that it's based off of a comic book takes away the realism that he's known for. I think that it will soften his tough guy image on the shield, and take away some of his credibility, especially if they make the movie a comedy. It always is difficult for an actor to make the transition from comedy to drama or vice versa, because whether or not they are capable of the role, their previous roles give the audience a mental image of how they should act, and anything new is hard for them to accept. However, for the record, I would like to state that I think he could do a great job at it.

Just want to say thanks for postin' the Deadpool scoop. I was so freakin happy that they were gonna make a movie, and very surprised. I have been infatuated with that character since I was about 10 (I'm 21 now). Keep up the good work!

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
To quote Jay Sherman, "It stinks, it stinks, it stinks." Do the producers think by casting a younger actor they will get a younger demographic to come see the film? At this point I would take Hugh Jackman over Ledger. Ledger never really impressed me in anything he's appeared in. The Bond series is getting weaker and weaker everytime I read about it.
- Nick
If Ledger can refine himself as more of a gentleman and control his nervous energy, I think he could be worthwhile Bond.
- Carlos Orozco
absolutely not, Bond is like a fine wine, the older he gets the more desirable he is to the female audience :)
Heath, a fellow aussie and a great actor, but is no Bond, Hugh would make a great Bond, Heath is too young
- Sam
Please let this be some sort of hoax...
Bond is supposed to and has always looked a little rough around the edges. Suave and sophisticated in action, slightly rough and tough in appearance without overdoing it. Heath is a Carebear in comparison. Bad guys should see Bond and think "We're in for it now", not "How cute".
Hugh Jackman would fit the role perfectly. Or why not Guy Pearce? But Heath is about as appropriate for Bond as Danny Glover.
- Yoshi
By far my favorite Bond has been gold ol' Pierce Brosnan, but I do agree that the series is gonna need somethin a bit fresher and fast before it goes the way of Star Trek. Although, as expensive as Everything or Nothing's story line would have been, that would have been entertaining in the least. I think if they actually started the Bond franchise from the very beginning it'd be an interesting new take like the new jump start of Batman with the supposed refocussing of the origin story. How about showing us Bond when he wasn't quite the ladies man, or he wasn't quite as good as we've come to know him. I thought the last Bond movie was a great change of pace with him getting caught in the beginning and having it be personal etc., etc. As far as Heath Ledger goes...eh. I'd rather have a complete unknown that someone who many people have mixed opinions about.
- Brandan
I've followed Heath's career since his first showing on Roar, but I honestly can't say I see him as Bond. Bond's always been a) a ruthless killer who can throw off one-liners, or b) a dandified quipster (in the Roger Moore tradition). Heath doesn't really fit into either of those personas - he doesn't have the weight needed for the role - the literary Bond was always around 35 years old, a little hardened, and scarred. Unless the creators have gone completely off their rockers and want to show a young, fresh-on-the-force Bond, I don't see how they can make this work. And in the business, you don't mess with a good thing...
