Damn, it suddenly seems a shame that we can't go way off beam, because it occurred that Gigi is so un-Chiana like in real life, and can pull off a genuine alien frame of movement, that she might not be a bad fit.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
So, OK, here's the kind of stuff that floats around my head when I'm riding public transit home at night. It's not noticing a pattern, so much as playing connect the dots and suddenly deciding that it's a picture of a bunny rabbit with a machete and a hard-on.
Stipulations:
- Comic book movies are big deals now.
- Those comic book movies are best which are directed by directors who
- Have a unique and noticable style
- Have devoted, one could even say fanatical, followings
- Have respect for the genre
- Both Sin City (pretty much a given now) and Wonder Woman will be good/successful, which will help to prove stipulation 2.
(For the sake of this thought process realise that, although John Woo fits stipulations 2.1 and 2.2, he does not fit 2.3.)
Stipulating these, is it completely clear who needs to be approached to do Preacher?

Hey. New board.
I don't know if I can handle a Preacher movie. It would scare me.
That said, I don't see the obvious direction you're going, necessarily. Though Tarantino could be an option - he's good with violence, as we all know.

Oh man. I just saw "Reefer Madness," the musical, which was made for Showtime, and will be airing on April 16th, and then again on April 20th. It's totally awesome. It's hysterically funny, it's offensive, it's macabre, it's sweet. There are zombies. But best of all, there's lots of awesome singing and dancing. Alan Cumming, Christian Campbell, Kristen Bell, Neve Campbell, Robert Torti, Steven Weber, and Ana Gasteyer are in it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude. I think I developed a thing for Chris Campbell watching Tek War (remember when syndicated Saturday action used to be fun .. hell, when it used to exist?).
I had no idea he was Neve's brother.

He's Neve's brother. Both are pretty, and good dancers. Actually, he didn't do a ton of dancing, but he moved and looked like a dancer, and he spent an extended period of time in only a dance belt. So, it counts.

Hey. New board.

Kristen Bell is in that, too! Yay Veronica!
Also, I just got back from the midnight showing of Sin City.
I am well pleased. VERY well pleased.
Considering the buildup I gave the film, this much satisfaction should be impossible.
