And it looks like they've cast Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle. I can get behind that.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Why on earth would they re-shoot the movie? That's ridiculous. Oh well.
So Angier is Hugh and Borden is Bale? That's how I mentally cast it as I was reading the novel.

Frankly, the premise of "Ziggy Stardust helps Wolverine kick Batman's ass using THE AWESOME POWER OF ELECTRICITY" was never really going to live up to the version in my head.
What? Bowie's siding with Jackman against Bale? WAS VELVET GOLDMINE ALL FOR NOTHING?!?

Okay, first of all, you are crazy, because Ziggy Stardust would totally be on Batman's side.
Secondly... or more likely, Batman and Wolverine would resolve their differences by beating Ziggy Stardust to a pulp.
Thirdly: I think I need to send you a copy of Five Fists of Science.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey, I didn't cast it! You can't pin that crazy on me!

You could have pretended that was the shocking twist. Like, Ziggy was actually in cahoots with Batman the whole time!

Oh, me too!
I will still see The Prestige. I figured out the tricks pretty early on in the book, also, so I'll just watch the pretty.

Punishingly Intricate
Other than that, I have no problem with it - Hairspray is more likely to make a better second movie than The Producers did, anyway.
Dude! It's not even being shot in Baltimore! It's bullshit. Although I'm happy if Waters is making some money from it!
