Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

There's also an episode of Masters of Horror that adapted "Dreams in the Witch House."

John Malkovich has been cast as Lucien Lauren in the movie Secretariat.

Also, Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette from True Blood) has been cast as Eddie Sweat - Secretariat's groom.

Malkovich as Lauren?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know what'd be awesome? If everything in Secretariat was of your typical big-budget Hollywood flick, except all the horses were pantomime horses....

John Malkovich has been cast as Lucien Lauren in the movie Secretariat.

....

I'm disturbed by this. He's gonna mangle the accent.

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

I'm disturbed by this. He's gonna mangle the accent.

I thought you'd be more concerned with what horse they can cast as Secretariat.

Sort of like doing a biopic on Sophia Loren.

"Okay, we've got to find a woman as beautiful as Sophia Loren."

"....uh huh."

Then again, they cast Sherilyn Finn as Elizabeth Taylor and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Audrey Hepburn.

They almost always end up casting some inappropriate Quarter Horse in the lead. Not even worth bothering my brain over. They're easier to work with. 'Course, Big Red Redux had a large rear, so.

How tall is JohnMal?

Joan Allen would make a great Penny Tweedy.

Heh. They've already done the horse casting. Check out his 5x: [link]

His grandsire, Meadowlake, while unrelated, looked a lot like Secretariat.

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

Some magazine at CVS today swore on the cover that Jennifer Aniston was really seeing Gerard Butler. Completely unrelatedly, he has another movie coming out. Hrmm.

Anyone know if Law Abiding Citizen has good buzz or not? Gamer didn't, but I guess I'm looking for a good reason to look at him for 90 minutes.
