I know what you mean, but I refuse to think that I'm old (and I'm way older than you!
) but I may be out of the loop. I knew 4 out of the 7, and had to Google the other 3 to have a clue.
1) James Franco - he was in Spiderman; can't see him as Jack. Too much of a ...what? narcissistic type?
2) Jason Biggs - he's the American Pie guy. Sorry, he is just NOT JACK.
3) Joshua Jackson - I'm not even sorry about this one, he is just NOT JACK!!!
4) Ethan Embry - sort of wimpy, more of a young character actor I think, but I couldn't even tell you what he's done.
5) Topher Grace - That 70's Show. Good actor, was great in "Traffic." But I think he presents a sort of limp image, doesn't have the restrained macho manliness that Jack should have. And he's so YOUNG!
6) Josh Hartnett - OK, major hearthrob. Really studly and good looking, but again, so YOUNG! He can act, though, and has a proven track record of getting people in the seats.
7) Colin Hanks - not a bad choice; but I don't think he'd be that much of a box office draw.
OK, so much for my casting talents. What do I know, anyway.... I'm not the market they'd be going for, I don't think.
