It's true! He IS taking over all genre film!

Once upon a time, someone brilliant who I think was [livejournal.com profile] glvalentine because she's this sort of brilliant posited the theory that Hugo Weaving is on a mission to be in every franchise. At the time this theory was born, he had, to date, been in The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Transformers, and god alone knows how many other sci-fi/fantasy films. I think the joke was that he was going to end up being Captain America at this rate.

Well, not quite. But it was a near thing. And he'll still be in the movie!

(Also, HEEE at the comment "he's half forehead.")

I haven't read any of the comics, but I am aware of Captain America's general character and you make good points. Did you see Push by the way? And, if so, your thoughts? Anyway, a couple friends and I discussed the Captain America casting dilemma after work this evening as well. My friend doesn't like Chris Evans as a prospect because he thinks he's not physically imposing enough. I don't know. I mean, sure, he's a beast in a lot of the comics and animated features, but that's a little over the top.

Ah, so THAT'S who's playing Thor! I heard they chose someone, but I didn't know the name and still wouldn't if you hadn't provided me with that handy little link. Yeah, I saw Star Trek twice and never knew his name. Huh...I have to agree that he could have fit as the Cap as well. When I first heard they were making a live action Thor film, my first reaction was "they should get Triple H from WWE to play Thor!" 'cause he absolutely looks the part... it's just too bad he can't act. : )

I liked Push a lot. It had a lot of character to it. And if your friend thinks the Captain has to be Arnold-sized, well, tell him to stop looking at pictures drawn by Rob Liefeld. (This is not a man, it's a tank with a head. (http://jordynmarcellus.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/liefeld-cap.jpg))

Triple H was in Blade Trinity. He did all right for what was admittedly a stupid movie. (I liked it anyway. Parker Posey and Ryan Reynolds should always do movies together.) Anyway, Thor is being directed by Kenneth Branaugh of all people. It will be amazing--amazingly good or amazingly weird is yet to be seen.

Haha that photo is obnoxious. My friend has more sense than that -- I think he's just thinking how, in so many comics/photos or whatnot, the heroes get the he-man treatment.

Haha I forgot Triple H and Ryan Reynolds were in Blade Trinity and I had no idea Kenneth Branaugh was directing Thor! Wow. Thor just got a lot more interesting. : )
