Shiny new thread! Missing the jokes! Must go read old thread!

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt, here's AICN's script review of The Village (scroll down -- it's called The Woods) -- Moriarty doesn't believe it either, even though he's the one that wrote the review. Perhaps wishful thinking, perhaps clever spotting of a fake script.
Rumours also abound that it was re-shot very recently.

Hey. New board.
I wanna see The Village. I enjoyed Signs despite the utter stupidity, because I like creepiness generally. And at least this one doesn't have Mel. (Honestly, if I never see him in a film EVER AGAIN, I'll be happy.)
Also, color me stupid for not knowing Alan Tudyk played the EEEEEEEEEEEEvil robot. Now I might have to see it. Which is sad.

Oh, here's a cool rumour:
From Cinescape:
According to our anonymous scooper, David Boreanaz (ANGEL) also met with the FANTASTIC FOUR creative team. What role Boreanaz may be up for wasn't known by the scooper.
With all the male leads cast, this leaves two possible options: this is just a rumor, or Boreanaz is in talks for the neferious Dr. Doom. Personally, I'm hoping for the second option.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. I can't see DB as Doom.

This is fun. Shia LaBeouf on Superman in which he has been cast as Jimmy Olsen:
LaBeouf may not have left with a script, but he did leave with some intriguing casting info. Mainly, Jake Gyllenhaal is apparently no longer in the running for Superman.
"They're going to go with an unknown," said LaBeouf, adding that McG is trying to lure Scarlett Johansson for Lois Lane and Johnny Depp for Lex Luthor.

And, in other comic news (I can't tear myself away), Batman Begins is supposed to be 1/2 origin story, including training, and the second half fighting villainous threat.
The above isn't significantly spoilery -- no characters named, just about how much of the movie is to be dedicated to origin.
eta: Gary OLDMAN is James Gordon? How did I miss that? They should switch him with Caine.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Boreanaz is in talks for the neferious Dr. Doom.
"So pouts DOOM!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Now that I think about it, Shia LaBeuof has Jimmy Olsen written all over him.
And nifty news on the Bats movie. Although could be tricky to develop the villains with only half a movie, what with their being obscure to a mainstream audience (and hell, even I don't know who Ra's Al-Ghul is).
eta: Gary OLDMAN is James Gordon?
Really? How odd.

I figure they're thinking if they just paint him metallic, they won't need expensive prosthetics.
