soldier sent over from the future to protect Sarah Connor with whom he
later on gets a son John Connor, the future resistance leader. Jason
Clarke has already been cast as John Connor with GAME OF THRONES star
Emilia Clarke playing Sarah Connor. The movie is scheduled for July
2015!
COURTNEY TO PLAY KYLE REESE
Um, why do we need a reboot of Transporter already, and what the heck is with recasting Jason Statham? Won't be the same without him.
ReplyDeleteTom Cavanagh as Barry Allen I like. The Flash is shaping up to be something worth watching.
Don't ask me, there is also a TV show on it... overused if you ask me :)
DeleteNo, no, Cavanagh will be a man who created The Flash, not Barry Allen himself... that will be Grant Gustin
Yeah, sorry, Dez - got ahead of myself there with he Barry reference. As a comic book geek I should know better. LOL
DeleteI've also read that John Wesley Shipp (who was awesome as The Flash) will have a recurring "mysterious" role. I really like that connection to the 90s TV series.
He will? Oh, I would love that... I'm not planning on watching the show... but if Wesley Ship will be in it I might give it a go... I did love the original series. He and Amanda Pays were such a great tandem
DeleteI didn't recognise Ed Skrein from Game of Thrones I had to look up who he played!
ReplyDeleteyep, he wears a long wig in the show, he is that warrior who seduces and protects the Dragon Queen :)
DeleteWhat a lucky boy!!!
Deleteyep, he had that famous scene when he barges into the tent while Daenerys is bathing naked :)
DeleteOlivia is always so pretty !
ReplyDeleteCheers .
Always love posting her pics here :)
DeleteWhat?? My Jason has been replaced by a younger model? Hmpf! He's still sexy to me. I love Olivia. I'm glad to see she's producing too.
ReplyDeleteJason will always be the sexiest out there :)
DeleteWe do love Olivia... not her choice of roles, but her talent yes and we love her husband too... they're the cutest couple ever
That's right, aside from my man Michael, Jason is sexy. And, now that Anne dumped Bruce, I can eye him too.
DeleteWhich Anne? Our Anne? I'm not informed....
DeleteOh yes dear, I dumped Bruce, I had too, he was getting too possessive. It's like this. We were at a party and Gerard Butler was making eyes at me. Well, I didn't do anything wrong, except be polite, But Bruce got in a temper and threatened to beat up Gerard. That was it. I said I'm done, it's over, get out. But Gerard did send me a bouquet of roses yesterday so it looks like we may be hooking up :)
DeleteBruce would've lost in a fight with Gerry Berry :)
DeleteI love Olivia Wilde. I'm still waiting for TRON 3.
ReplyDeletewait... there was TRON 2? :)))) We do love us Wilde! Both Olivia and Oscar!
DeleteShe is what made it great...Her and Daft Punk!
DeleteYou have the remake of TRON in mind! TRON LEGACY :) I thought I missed a second instalment :)
DeleteI'm at the half-way point, Dezzy. Almost done with this room. Woohoo. Hope you have a groovy day and boogie boogie boogie boogie.
ReplyDeletetoo bad you're not half done with the rum :) That would've been much more fun :)
DeleteIf that were the case, I'd be no where done with the room. Because I don't drink at all. I even get a little loopy when I drink a cafe drink at the bookstore. That's some powerful stuff.
DeleteOn a five minute break. Very pleased with the progress. I see the end result .... it's nearly there .....
How's your day going?
Boring and uneventful as usually. No work in this horrid crises and that makes this little coon a bit depressed
DeleteYikes, I'm sorry.
Deleteme too
DeleteAdd me to the list of Olivia lovers!
ReplyDeleteit's a long list :)
DeleteSurprised Jason Statham has been replaced. Why?
ReplyDeleteLove Olivia Wilde. She's gorgeous and talented :)
We do love her :) Jason doesn't really need a fourth movie in that franchise.
Deletegreat picture of Olivia wilde
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
DeleteAs always, good info on up and coming. Thanks, Dez.
ReplyDeletebe welcome :)
DeleteEd will make a good replacement methinks :)
ReplyDeletemethinks too, but I wouldn't expect much from the film :)
DeleteNone of the movies really grab me today. As a mother, I can't watch those movies with missing kids as it scares me too much. My stomach gets all in knots and I end up crying. I too love Olivia. She's one of those women that men want and women want to be. We women don't even hate her for being sexy.
ReplyDeleteI did notice that Livie Wilde is one of them gorgeous ladies that other ladies don't hate :)
DeleteI do understand, I myself never watch movies in which kids are in danger or in violent situations.
I hope Boyd gets the role.
ReplyDelete......dhole
Jai is also mindblowingly stunning :)
