It isn't ALL about the Oscars, Wednesday MOVIE News
EDITOR'S NOTE: LEST WE GET TOTALLY STUPIFIED BY OSCAR WEEK MANIA, LET'S KEEP OUR EYES ON SOME OTHER 'BALLS' AS WELL.
Affleck to Take Flight as Superman
It's being reported that none other than Ben Affleck will play George Reeves in Focus Features' "Truth, Justice and the American Way." EDITOR'S NOTE: I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD HORRIFYING VISIONS OF BEN AFFLECK'S CHUBBY THIGHS IN TIGHTS, WAS I? (UNABLE TO LIFT OFF THE GROUND FOR THE FLYING SCENES?)
The story centers on a detective in Los Angeles trying to solve Reeves' mysterious death. Reeves met a tragic, mysterious end in 1959 after years portraying TV's Superman.
Diane Lane will also star in the film as Toni Mannix, the wife of a Hollywood executive who might have been linked to Reeves romantically. And Adrian Brody will play the detective.
Allen Coulter is directing from a script by Paul Bernbaum and rewritten by Howard Korder. EDITOR'S NOTE: GEORGE REEVES...NO DISRESPECT TO THE DEAD INTENDED...WASN'T EXACTLY A SYLPH EITHER. SO AFFLECK IS KINDA RIGHT FOR THIS. (REEVES ALSO WASN'T EXACTLY MR.DYNAMIC-ACTING-PERSONALITY, SO THAT NON-CHARISMA THING OF AFFLECK'S SHOULD ALSO WORK PRETTY WELL).
BATMAN BEGINS
The website "World of KJ" provides coverage of Christian Bale at Wondercon 2005 discussing his part in the upcoming BATMAN BEGINS as well as his involvement in future Batman films.
Bale noted that he is signed up for two sequels but Christopher Nolan is not at this time.
The site notes that "Bale said that the reason they're doing this movie is because they understand the frustration of the fans never getting a satisfying Batman movie. That is the reason that this movie is not a sequel or a prequel. It's a reinvention, something purely made for the hardcore fans who've been waiting all these years for a Batman movie and never gotten one. Bale's aim is for the most loyal Batman fan to come out of the theater satisfied, and for the general public to come out surprised and educated at how deep and great this character is."
