On the Watchmen casting Keanu aside - everyone seems too young. I'm fearing bad aging makeup.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
did she sound English?
Nope. Just extremely raw.

Heh. That may be reason alone to see it. Though it hasn't moved me to actually watch MANDINGO yet.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Actually, that's one of the roles that would totally work with his range.

I have to concede that Dr Manhattan = flat affect. I just can't picture him saying, "whoa."

I'm with Plei. I don't know the other guy they were talking about for Night Owl, but the other two bits actually have me quite intrigued.
What really excited me was this information that Jude is already a fan of the material. How much more do I love Jude now, one, and two I think he'd be perfect for the role.

I think Keanu's about as right for that part as he was for John Constantine, but at least it soothes my fears about spending two hours watching Harvey Keitel in nothing but blue body paint and a bald cap.

Now if you got de Niro for the role, he'd not only shave his head, he'd get himself dyed dark blue.
Canoe actually made a pretty good Buddha, as long as he didn't speak more than two or three words of dialogue.
No, I'm serious -- he had the movements and physical acting perfect, and even the right tone of voice, but if he went more than four words in a row, the Indian accent attempt threw me right out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As much as I love Keanu, I think it's a mistake to cast him in what will almost surely be an entirely CG role -- when he's well-cast, he's a compelling actor because of his physicality. I wholeheartedly support using him for the motion-capture, but for the love of all that's holy, hire someone else for the voice! (And really, they should just cast Doug Jones.)
