A guy I know auditioned for that role -- I have no idea how the audition went, but physically? Freaking perfect. I can't imagine how Ben could act well enough to make up for not looking purely beautiful.
The last thing I heard about X3 that didn't make me sad was the casting of Kelsey as Beast. But I think that's way not enough. And way too long ago.
Drac. vs. Hitler:
Not surprisingly, no stars are connected to the project as yet.
eta: Although it'd be worth it if Dracula called Hitler "strange and off-putting."
The only way it works is if Mel Brooks plays Hitler.
Who are you casting as Dracula, DX?
Speaking of Dracula, last weekend I saw the late 70's Dracula with Frank Langella as the Count and Laurence Olivier as Van Helsing. [link]
It was pretty cheese-tastic, but fun.
Kelsey Grammer. I think he's a great match, even if that means I get no big screen Steve Bacic.
Seriously? I wondered if that's who you could have meant. I don't know anything about the Beast, so will reserve judgment, but he's definitely not someone I would have immediately thought to connect with the
X-Men
franchise.
