We saw the National Theatre Frankenstein tonight, with Jonny Lee Miller as the Creature. He is ASTONISHING. Dear god.
I saw the version with Cumberbatch as the Creature and I left feeling like the actors were probably more suited to the opposite roles. Cumberbatch is a more heady, intellectual actor and Miller seems to be more instinctual and in touch with his impluse, so I really wish I saw with the casting you did. I mean, they were both fine, but I felt that their characters were making them work against their natural tendencies as actors.
I'm glad I saw them both but I'm glad I saw CumberCreature first, because it was wonderful but afterwards I also felt that Miller was better suited as the Creature and BC as the Doctor. Still. See them both if you can.
I wonder if that’s ultimately why we see so many British actors on TV nowadays. They tend to have more background in theater, and can handle the grueling pace of TV production better.
Ant-Man casting: [link] WUT.
Fortunately, I already thought Hank Pym was a dick.
Questions Brought On By The I, Frankenstein Trailer.
3. If there is no point during the movie where Aaron Eckhart stops to correct someone, “Actually, Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, technically I am Frankenstein’s monster,” the screenwriters have missed a solid joke opportunity.
That trailer irritates me so much for that reason, beyond the fact that it looks like a shitty movie.

Because there's no earthly reason it should be called Frankenstein? Because Aaron Eckhart is an awful actor?
I seriously thought it was a commercial for a video game the first time I saw it, until the very end when you realize it is, in fact, a movie.
It should have been a video game.
