Actor For Jack - Annice Burdeos - 05-06-2004
The Mad American Wrote:[QUOTE=Annice Burdeos]
With so many sequels and franchises being made, they are looking to improve their chances as much as possible for the film to turn a profit, preferably during its initial domestic run. Given who would most likely star, that individual would have to carry the film internationally as well. So look for Jack on film to be more of an action adventure type!

Horror of horrors!!! Please don't let them make Jack into some sort of shallow Action/adventure type...It would really ruin the character in my opinion. But then again, you have a point on the way that the movie powers that be think....I am having a horrible, horrible vision bouncing around my head...Sly Stallone yelling "Yo Gina!!!" at the top of his lungs......aaarrrrggghhhhhhh!!! Make the bad voices go away!!!
Hey, Mad American,
A studio wouldn't be that stupid in casting someone who is long past his usefulness.
Whoever is cast as Jack has to be someone who will appeal to the teenage boy demographic (studios operate under the assumption that this audience
will show up the first weekend, then tell all their buds before bouncing on to the next high octane flick) plus as I said carry the film internationally.
One actor I'd like to see considered is Christian Bale who is donning the Batcape. He is relatively little known in America unless you happened to see American Psycho (After seeing this, the reaction of most people was" what DID HE LOOK LIKE? No one could say with any definitiveness. But we sure knew WHAT he did.
After the play ends, it appears Jackman will seque to X3 (perhaps X4 will shoot simultaneously) and he does have plans of bringing Wolverine to the screen in his own film.
Norton doesn't seem right as Jack....I really don't know why

Maybe because he's played too many nut cases? I like Ed Norton a lot, but he's kind of like Christopher Walken now, in that he's played too many nutso types.

I've always liked Ed Norton as Jack, but I was watching The Ring again last night, and I really think Martin Henderson could be a good choice. Cute, but not too cute, sarcastic, but not over the top.
I like John Cusack a lot too though.
Actor For Jack - Bastard - 05-18-2004
For my part I'd have to say either Cusack, Caviezel or Norton. Personally I'd lean toward James Caviezel, and no, I don't think that his eye color will be a problem--contact lenses anyone?
However, I really dig the notion of John Cusack, too. And as for Ed Norton, well, he'd be my first pick If he hadn't done a Christopher Walken with his career.jake

I must have missed something about Ed Norton. I watch a lot of movies, and I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. Must be some movies I haven't seen?

I concur. Besides, what is wrong with Walken? He is one of my faves.

Not to catch hell by suggesting this, but what about Will Smith as Jack? Is race a problem?
Lincoln Rhyme, in the Jeffery Deaver books, is white, but Denzel played him perfectly in Bone Collector.
I think Big Willie Style would be a great Repairman.
Failing that, how about Gary Coleman?

Will is too flashy in my opinion, and well, Gary is just a little too short.

I never knew that Lincoln Rhyme was white :eek:
