Which young, big-name star wants to be Repairman Jack? - jarikur - 05-03-2007
I believe this is my first ever post but I have been a lurker for awhile. And a RJ fan since first reading The Tomb. Although a FPW fan since early eighties, when I first read The Keep. It is still one of my favorite books which I periodically pick up and read again.
After reviewing all the posts on this thread again and reading the latest newsletter, I've come up with this list of potential RJ's. I believe they all fit each of these descriptions.
They are in no particular order as it is difficult for me to envision anyone replacing the RJ in my head.

Can't say a name, but he's been mentioned in this thread. (Heh. Who hasn't?) If he goes for it, I know I'll be happy, and I think you'll be too.[/SIZE]
fpw Wrote:[SIZE="3"]Yes. He's in his 30s. Can't say anything beyond that.[/SIZE]

They tend to give me a headache so I avoid them at every opportunity.

If the name didn't ring any bells, I'm pretty sure we can cross Ed Norton and Hugh Jackman off the list (not the list above, just THE LIST that's always been going on here hehe). As much as I've always wanted Ed Norton to be Jack, I also always knew that wasn't likely to happen.
Of course, FPW's statement also probably means we're safe from Ashton Kutcher.
Hm...Josh Lucas?
I know you can't say, but this is fun... almost like a scavenger hunt.

[SIZE="3"]No, not him. They talked to him years ago, and they may talk to him again, but choosing the director will follow signing the star.[/SIZE]

That begs the question...where will the film open? I'm jumping the gun, I know, the darn thing isn't in the can yet. But any ideas about the opening, Paul, or way too soon to think?

Dave Wrote:I saw Ryan Gosling last night in Half Nelson, good stuff. The Oscar nominee could be looking for a franchise. A hint of Ryan Reynolds, but less of the gooning.
Wouldn't mind seeing him say yes.

I'm with you on this, Dave.

Oh, well.....that's good! I've never seen his directed movies anyway.
I would choose John McTiernan or Stephen Hopkins.
