Now, I see you reacted well yesterday on HOLLYWOOD SPY's post about
Joe Manganiello being a possible new
SUPERMAN in
Zack Snyder's reboot of the famous super hero flick, but here's another new candidate, the one I've been cheering for a long time now: one of my most favourite actors ever,
Patrick Wilson (LITTLE CHILDREN, ANGELS IN AMERICA), is the new name on the list of the actors who could be the new Man Of Steel. Beside being painfully talented, handsome and charismatic,
Patrick Wilson has already worked with Snyder when he played Nite Owl in Snyder's masterpiece WATCHMEN. Patrick himself says he would be more than glad to work with Zack again! HOLLYWOOD SPY will pray every evening for this to happen :) There are also some crazy rumors about Snyder going for a more muscly
SUPERMAN and considering
Dwayne Johnson and
John Cena for the role.
And lets continue with blue and red: take a look at the first image from the upcoming
THE SMURFS film showing for the first time Smurfette and Brainy Smurf beside Papa Smurf. The live-action adventure mixed with animation will, unfortunately, see the Smurfs getting lost in New York instead of having some merry times in their mushroom village. The film is out next summer.
Although everybody liked him, super charming
Hugh Jackman has turned down the offer to host the 83rd
OSCARS next year. This is due to his prior commitments with the filming of the
WOLVERINE sequel. The academy awards will be held February 27th,
but at that time Hugh will be in Asia with director
Darren Aronofsky preparing for
WOLVERINE 2. There are rumors that the new host might be extremely shocking and surprising. Do I smell
Lady Gaga :))))
Two days ago I told you that
Zack Efron will take the lead role in the adaptation of the famous manga
AKIRA but now it seems Warner Bros. has find another addition for the cast as well:
Morgan Freeman will be The Colonel in the story about a teenage gang member who is subjected to government experiments that unleash his latent powers. The film will probably take place in a futuristic USA after a nuclear war has ravaged the whole country.
Dezmond, I'd like to watch a Superman movie played by Tom Welling.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day ;)
hey, Suzy, I don't think it will happen, since Tom's played him in the TV show and the director said he wants a new actor.
ReplyDeleteDezmond, what happened to Brandon Routh who played him in Superman Returns. I thought he was pretty good myself. Why don't they just keep the same actors in these roles. Isn't there going to be a new Spiderman. Although on that one, there's has to be someone better to play Spidey than Tobey Maguire.
ReplyDeleteoh please... lady gaga? I smell stinky rotten meat dress already! Don't ever hire her or I won't watch the show!
ReplyDeleteDezmy.. If I'm not wrong, I know you're a vegetarian and someone who support PETA. So how on earth you can support that unbelievable gaga who had murdered a cow for her outfit?
ReplyDeleteI always find out some much when I stop by here. Bringing back The Smurfs, who's next?

Thoughts in Progress
I'm disappointed Brandon Routh is not continuing this franchise... it's way too soon to switch up the actors now. They should leave it alone for at least 10 more years before they try to switch it on us again. For all that i love Mr. Wilson (hello Raoul....), I'm having a hard time seeing him as Superman.
ReplyDeletePatrick Wilson's an outstanding actor, you can't go wrong with him. I'm loving the idea of him as Superman. His character in the Watchmen reminded me a bit of Reeve's Clark Kent.
ReplyDeletePatrick Wilson?? Wow, that hit me out of left field. I had considered some actors who've worked with Snyder before but never would've thought of him. But you know what, as you said Dez, he is handsome and talented... so perhaps he can pull it off. I just never see him as having a Superman 'built' though. Honestly, I'd still go with Eric Bana for Superman :)
ReplyDeleteDewayne Johnson as Superman? Puh-leeze not--it just doesn't seem like a good fit.
ReplyDeleteI was always annoyed by the Smurfs. Maybe being lost in New York could win me over. They could introduce all sorts of social issues to the story and maybe pay a visit to the United Nations. Smurfs save the world!

Tossing It Out
I think that Wilson dude rocked it in Watchmen...but I'm not sure if I wanna see him as superman!
ReplyDeleteOh no. You just ruined my year. Akira is one of my favorite films of all time. I just died a little when I heard Zac Efron will be ruining it. I could see maybe if he played Tetsuo, but Kineda? No way.
ReplyDeleteIf either The Rock or John Cena are cast as the new Superman, I will never watch the movie. Period.
ReplyDeleteI can see Wilson as Superman. Freeman's a good addition to Akira. Lady Gaga...? I don't think the Oscars are ready for that much oddness.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to know who's going to be superman but all the choices are super hot so whoever gets it, I'm not complaining.
ReplyDeletePatrick Wilson would have that all-American quality that Superman needs. But isn't he too old? Thanks for the latest updates.
ReplyDelete@David Barber
ReplyDeletehey, David, welcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY ;) Snyder has decided to do a reboot of SUPERMAN, which means there will be new actors. When it comes to SPIDERMAN, I'm not sure Andrew Garfield, who was chosen for the lead role, will be better than Tobey, but I must admit I was never an extreme fan of Spidy :)
@Jaccsy
Jaccsy, that wasn't the real meat, as far as I know, Gaga is also vegetarian. I didn't like that outfit myself. I rarely like her outfits, but I do like the melodies of her songs and her supporting all the little monsters and freaks :) And my sentence about her hosting the Oscars was off course a joke, since they said the host will be shocking :)
@Masy
glad I'm keeping you informed, Masy :) Maybe the Care Bears? :))
@Kristin
ReplyDeleteI agree that we don't need most of the remakes and reboots, I'm not sure what's going on in Hollywood's head :)
@Cesta
I totally agree with you, dear Cesta :) On both things you said!
@Flixy
HOLLYWOOD SPY possesses some pics of Patrick which prove he has a Superman built, would you like me to send them to you? :)))
@Arlee
ReplyDeleteoh, Lee, how can you not like little Smurfs? :))) And how come you didn't audition for the role of Gargamel? :PP
@Falen
Patrick always rocks :) Big time :)
@Matthew
ugh, sorry about that :) I'm not a fan of his either, although I do think he has the body for action movies. We shall have to wait and see.
@J.M.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the two of them in that role either :( Although I generally love Dwayne.
@Alex
yep, the Oscars are odd enough as it is :))
@Clarissa
yep, no reasons to complain too much :)
@Sammy
no, Sammy he isn't, Snyder has decided to use a more mature Superman, which is why Wilson, Jon Hamm and Manganiello are the main candidates so far in the rumors.
Is anyone not going to be Superman? I'm scared of PAtrick Wilson as a comic hero since his turn in Watchmen.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Lady Gaga can perform a song at the Oscars but as for hosting them?
ReplyDeleteSmurfs movie coming out in the summer means LOADS of tie-ins at the supermarkets, restaurants & toy stores.
Not so interested in Superman....
ReplyDeleteBut The Smurfs??? Count me in!
@Castor
ReplyDeletewell, I still haven't audition for Superman :P
I thought Patrick was the most amazing super hero in WATCHMEN.
@Lisa
yes, yes, I hope you already bought your Smurf cup and your Smurf pajamas :)
@Andrew
ReplyDeletehe he ... I should've expected you would like The Smurfs :)
While the rock is muscular enough to play the part, he's not really a good fit IMHO. I honestly don't know who they could get to play the Man of Steel. It's just a role that Christopher Reeve ruined for all followers.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't like Reeve? I know quite a lot of people who share your opinion. Although I like the actor, I always thought his acting was plastic, and I think the same about Routh and Welling. We need a good drama actor for the role or some total hunk.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Joe Magillio (i just know i spelt his name wrong again) in the part if it is not going to Roth or Welling. I like Patrick Wilson, but I really don't think he fits the bill well, its an odd one for me.
ReplyDeletehe he he .. its Manganiello (you should stick his pic with the name on it on your fridge - both to remember it and for the shear pleasure) :)
ReplyDeleteDezmond I totally agree, he would make my fridge look far better ha ha
ReplyDeleteand plus it's great as a diet - seeing his flawless body on the fridge would just make you stop eating :)
ReplyDeletelol not when I have cheescake in it.
ReplyDeleteDont care for Superman, but the Smurfs....Oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha... why yes Dez, why don't you post the links here http://wp.me/pxXPC-2gx Then we'll see how he fares again Bananova (how'd you like my moniker for Eric? :D)
ReplyDelete@Dempsy
ReplyDeleteleave some white chocolate in the fridge for me, I don't eat sweet cheese ;)
@Avalon
ah, yes, Superman vs Smurfs the choice is obvious :PP
@Flixy
the pics are posted over at your place :)
Dez, I think you misunderstood me. I meant that nobody can play Superman because Reeve was so good in the role. I actually liked the way he handled it, I thought he was perfect looking for it, and although the last two movies weren't as good, I think that was due to the writing rather than the acting.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that when everyone identifies you with that role (especially after he was injured and still maintained an impressive outlook and presence), it's too hard to imagine anyone else acting as that character. This is the issue that faces any portrayals of Superman, and this is why films will continue to fail at it for some time.
I'm definitely not looking forward to the Smurfs. Everytime the teaser plays in the cinema I cringe just a little. Seeing Hank Azaria as Gargamel will probably help, but it looks kinda tacky.
ReplyDeleteOH, don't be a Gargamel, Jamie ;P
