PATRICK WILSON IN ANT-MAN
WITH PAUL RUDD & MICHAEL DOUGLAS
According to 'Variety' the latest star to join the cast of Marvel's ANT-MAN movie adaptation is American thespian Patrick Wilson. He already played a superhero, he was Nite Owl in WATCHMEN, but it is still not known whom he will play in ANT-MAN. We already know that Michael Douglas will play Hank Pym, while Paul Rudd will play Scott Lang who was the ANT-MAN in the comics after Hank. There are also rumours that HOBBIT star Evangeline Lilly is negotiating to take the role of Pym's daughter who has a romance with Scott Lang. Scheduled for July 2015, the movie will follow Biochemist Dr. Hank Pym who uses his latest discovery, a group of subatomic particles, to create a size-altering formula. Though his first self-test goes awry, he develops an instrument that helps him communicate with and control insects.

be welcome, Grace, I do love those little lessons of mine :) It's always fun reminding ourselves of little history or literature tidbits :)
DeleteLoved Patrick Wilson in Watchmen and Aiden Turner is certainly quite attractive, isn't he? I like the idea for an updated Poldark - especially with him in it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with today's news too :) Because of the two of them :)
DeleteOh, so they're doing Poldark again, are they? I remember the original series. Will keep my eyes peeled for the new one in due course.
ReplyDeleteI've checked out the original series and it seems it was delightfully trashy :) Hope this one will be more serious :)
DeleteI liked him as Night Owl
ReplyDeletehe was outstanding as always
DeleteI guess they needed something to fill the void when the boys of Supernatural decide they are done. I'm sure it's coming soon since they are getting past the prime age to be on CW.
ReplyDelete'tis true, you're old news at CW after you cross 30 :)
DeleteI love vamps, were's and shifters; but I haven't been too happy with the trend to make these monsters all angsty and try to cure themselves with addiction type interventions. Supernatural looks good. I've watched a couple episodes of The Originals and I like the mob-type approach to the vampires.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
yep, there's entirely too much monsters around.... both TV and reality :)
DeleteMichael Douglas in a super hero movie, oh my.
ReplyDeletewe still haven't recovered from that unexpected shock :)
DeleteIf there are twelve novels for Poldark, will there by twelve seasons? :-s
ReplyDeleteI would pray not :)
DeleteHello, Sean Faris!
ReplyDeleteAnd Paul Rudd! Paul Rudd! Paul Rudd! (Where is the shirtless photo of him? ;) )He's one of my faves. Did you see him lip sync on Jimmy Fallon? Too funny!
we do love us a bit of Faris :)
DeleteI've overused that famous shirtless pic of Rudd so I had to skip it this time :)
In a way we're shapeshifters too, aren't we, Dezz?
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I actually do change my total look every 8 to 10 years. It's true. Not deliberately, it just comes naturally.
DeleteSo two of the five are shirtless. Why not five out of the five? This is the real question (insert evil grin).
ReplyDeleteI can't always find shirtless pics for all of them as much as I try :) And it's even more difficult finding sexy pics of ladies
DeleteYou do pretty good though.
