Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Damn, I'll just have to spam my own Lost in Translation quotes.

Hey. New board.

Shiny new thread! Missing the jokes! Must go read old thread!

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

Matt, here's AICN's script review of The Village (scroll down -- it's called The Woods) -- Moriarty doesn't believe it either, even though he's the one that wrote the review. Perhaps wishful thinking, perhaps clever spotting of a fake script.

Rumours also abound that it was re-shot very recently.

Hey. New board.

I wanna see The Village. I enjoyed Signs despite the utter stupidity, because I like creepiness generally. And at least this one doesn't have Mel. (Honestly, if I never see him in a film EVER AGAIN, I'll be happy.)

Also, color me stupid for not knowing Alan Tudyk played the EEEEEEEEEEEEvil robot. Now I might have to see it. Which is sad.

Oh, here's a cool rumour:

From Cinescape:

According to our anonymous scooper, David Boreanaz (ANGEL) also met with the FANTASTIC FOUR creative team. What role Boreanaz may be up for wasn't known by the scooper.

With all the male leads cast, this leaves two possible options: this is just a rumor, or Boreanaz is in talks for the neferious Dr. Doom. Personally, I'm hoping for the second option.

Heh. I can't see DB as Doom.

This is fun. Shia LaBeouf on Superman in which he has been cast as Jimmy Olsen:

LaBeouf may not have left with a script, but he did leave with some intriguing casting info. Mainly, Jake Gyllenhaal is apparently no longer in the running for Superman.

"They're going to go with an unknown," said LaBeouf, adding that McG is trying to lure Scarlett Johansson for Lois Lane and Johnny Depp for Lex Luthor.

And, in other comic news (I can't tear myself away), Batman Begins is supposed to be 1/2 origin story, including training, and the second half fighting villainous threat.

The above isn't significantly spoilery -- no characters named, just about how much of the movie is to be dedicated to origin.

eta: Gary OLDMAN is James Gordon? How did I miss that? They should switch him with Caine.
