You haven't seen The Italian Job, I assume? He never looks "mean" in that, except when absolutely necessary. He's a hell of an actor, he's tall (but not VERY tall...probably not even as much as Ryan Reynolds, come to think of it...), he can really tap into his dark side, he's handsome, and yet you could lose him in a crowd. Not to mention he has the right physique for the character. But again: RYAN REYNOLDS WORKS. At least in theory - but I have good faith in him.

I certainly have no gripe with Reynold's acting ability. And as far as him not fitting Jack's dimensions to a 't', it's a good comprimise.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

I think Ryan Reynolds is a hot, rising star and I'm glad he's playing Jack. He's sexy, funny and has the "it" factor. I can't wait to see him kick some rakoshi butt!
I became a fan after watching Blade: Trinity. Cheesy movie, but Reynolds was terrific.

I agree, Susan. I became a fan of Ryan Reynolds in the wonderful DICK, in which he had a tiny but memorable part. His few minutes onscreen intrigued me and stayed with me for years. I had to run home and check out who he was.
He'll be a terrific Jack. Now let's hope we have an equally fabulous director, who can make or break a film.

His movies don't exactly pack folks into the theatre and Smokin'Aces was an ensemble piece
Based on my experiences in cinema, if a potential franchise is to be made and the first film underperfroms, then, there will be no others
Reynolds has not shown he can "carry" a film e.g. primarily open to big numbers, come in as #1 and sustain it over at least two weekends
It's taken so long to have Jack cast that it seems as if the studio went with the least obvious choice
Will I see it -yes but my feeling tells me this will not do well................

I agree about Blade:Trinity. He made the movie more entertaining and can deliver the witty one-liners very well. I just hope they don't try to make the movie to cutesy. Jack has to be a total bad-ass!

Do that many people really decide to go see a film strictly based on who is the star? I certainly don't. As an example, as much as I like Jodie Foster, this new film of hers (The Brave One) just doesn't sound like a terribly interesting or original story so I'll wait for DVD. For me at least, it's all about the story no matter who the actors are.
Besides, I think big opening weekends are driven more by pre-release publicity than anything else. And that is something all of us can help do when the time comes if we get busy posting about it all over the web.

I just read Bones Weep Tedium's post on this. It was quite witty. If your double entendre was intentional, it was both masterful and amusing; if it was inadvertant, then it was probably twice as amusing. Now, which was it? :confused:
As an aside, I suppose that only actors would want to be known for "tiny but memorable parts". Sorry, I just couldn't leave it alone. Bad Biggles! Evil, naughty, despicable Biggles <he says as he slaps himself>.
