'Shells'
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.
I've always thought that DiCaprio looked like Jack Nicholson, and my husband can't keep Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg straight, so I'm amused that they are all cast together.
I really don't want to imagine a Bay remake of Near Dark. Will no one think of the children?!?!
So I guess in this version there will be lots of exploding oil wells in Texas?
You just know Bay's going to cast some vapid model-actress that couldn't convincingly intimidate a toddler in the Jenette Goldstein role. And one of those cutesy sitcom kids from Everybody Loves Raymond as Homer.
I'm really interested to see the departed. For some reason I never thought DiCaprio and Damon would ever be in a movie together, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
Yep. Adrian Pasdar (Profit). Jeanette Goldstein and Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton (Aliens). And that girl.
Plus that seriously creepy kid (and Jean/Gene from QUARK).

And ... and Jenny something, who was in The Wall as the girl Pink took home during "One of My Turns". Weird thing to remember.
Jenny Wright, I think.
MGM in talks to have Peter Jackson direct The Hobbit.
Has anyone posted about this yet?
And more importantly, has anyone told Jilli about it?
Ooooh, look at that. Well, I guess I know what I'm going to be taking a look at when I get home from work tonight.
Note to self: When checking on the possibility of Wicked the movie, don't read message boards. You get something like this:
Does anyone have any info on the film version?PLEASE tell me they're not considering Renee Zelwiger - lol.
Assuming Idina & Kristen are not eligible (Hollywood often requires bigger names)... who's your 'dream cast'? Mine:
ELPHABA - Charlize Theron, Minnie Driver
GLINDA - Megan Mullaly (Karen 'Will & Grace')
WIZARD - Joel Grey, Anthony Hopkins
MORRIBLE - Bette Midler
FIYERO - Hugh Jackman, Rob Thomas
NESSA - Natalie Portman
BOQ - Leonardo DiCapprio
Now, lemme say what I like. I like Bette as Madame Morrible. That's brilliant casting. She'd be awesome.

Yeah. Damned near everything else is bad. I ADORE Megan Mullaly. If I could have her babies, I totally would. But...well...there ain't enough special effects in all of Lucas' one track, sad little mind to make her look 16. Hell, I'd rather Elphie and Glinda be played by Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman. And I LOVE Julia Roberts! (This is tongue in cheek. NO NO NO!)
Leonardo DiCaprio is too tall for Boq. Natalie Portman would be better suited as Elphie. Hugh Jackman? Again, I love him. Would have his babies, but I don't think so. Rob Thomas? Hells yeah. I could totally see that.
The Wizard casting isn't all bad, either.
Anyway, I have no idea what youngish actress I'd cast as Glinda. I must to think on it.
And as far as being "eligible" in Hollywood? Um, hello? They used almost the entire Broadway cast of Rent for the movie. Granted, they all looked too old and it took some people in the audience out of the story, but the hardcore fans went to see it anyway. And some of us who never saw the play loved the movie.
Furthermore, Kristin Chenoweth has been on The West Wing, appeared in Bewitched, and has a bit of a "Hollywood" career.
Personally, I'd like to see Taye Diggs as Fieryo.
Then again, I'd like to see him naked in my bedroom, so there is that.
