Which I think would be wrong, but I can see seeing it.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Claire Danes.
Niiiice. She actually wrote the introduction, both gracefully literate and quite fangirlish, to the TPB of either "The High Cost of Living" or one of the other Death standalones. Warm, luminous, already loves the source material. Go team Claire!

Punishingly Intricate
Go team Claire!
Isn't she too old? Death is supposed to be a teenager.
(Also, haven't there been rumours of a movie since the comics originally came out? And they've all come to naught?)

Dude.
Director Christopher Nolan plans to shoot parts of the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight, in the IMAX format, USA Today reported today (Tuesday). It would mark the first time a major studio has used the cumbersome process in a feature. Four action sequences, including the introduction of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, will employ the giant-screen process. They will fill the entire IMAX screen, producing the reality-like images that the process is famous for. (Some conventional films have been converted to the IMAX format, but the result is technically inferior to films that are originally shot with the IMAX system.) Nolan told USA Today: "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible. I figured if you could take an IMAX camera to Mount Everest or outer space, you could use it in a feature movie."
Unrelatedly:
Death is supposed to be a teenager.
Really? I always thought of her as a slight, old/young-looking, 20 something.
Ugh. Now I have a nightmare of it being Scarlett Jowhatever.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I know somebody who saw one of the Matrix movies on Imax, and she reported that, during the middle portion of the movies, she was sucked up Laurence Fishburne's nostril and nearly killed.
There are some thing I don't need to see six stories tall, you know? Heath Ledger in a green fright wig is one of them.

Is she? I thought Death was one of the young-but-older of the siblings. I have a vague recollection of Dream calling her his older sister at one point. And I was just watching Shopgirl the other night -- Claire looked very womanly at times, and at others looked maybe a year or so older than her 13-year-old self from the MSCL pilot episode. (eta: By which I mean, even if Death is a teenager Claire wouldn't be totally improbable in the role, and the combination of a young face and a mature actor's depth could absolutely kick ass.)

Worst choice? Luise Rainer

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Death's the second oldest, but she's always appeared young. I wouldn't necessarily say "teenager", though. And I'd prefer the right actress in the role, even if she's technically too old, than the wrong young actress.
The girl who was in Mirrormask has the right look about her. Don't know if she could pull the acting off, though, since I haven't seen her in anything else.
Edited for correct Endless.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She'd be a good choice, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ivana Baquero.
Maybe a bit too young, though.
