Various entertainment tidbits

[Black Omega]

Latest casting ideas for Superman...Brendan Fraser, David Boreanaz (Angel), Paul
Walker (Fast and the Furious), Matthew Bomer (Guiding
Light, All My Children), Victor Webster (Mutant X),
and Jerry O'Connell (Sliders, Crossing Jordan). Really not sure I like the direction this keeps going in so far. I'd head aboutr Brendan Fraser but not some of the others. I can't imagine Paul Walker as Superman unless he's really juiced up.

On the other hand Edward James Olmos as Adama in the Battlestar Galactica project slowly coming together sounds interesting. No one can ever replace Lorne Green but I still think this project shows promise.

News Flash: David Boreanaz is out.

Old news, including Mary McDonell (Dances with Wolves) is also onboard playing a de facto government leader when the original councilmembers were all killed.

Katee Sackhoff, who played college student/band guitarist-lead singer Nell Bickford in Richard Dreyfus' short-lived TV series, The Education of Max Bickford have been cast as Starbuck.

I'd heard about all of the above, and I was pretty *ehhh* about all of them, until I saw Brendan Fraser in The Quiet American this weekend. I was blown away by his performance. He's really got that All-American Boy schtick nailed (although it was played for a negative effect in that film), and he's pretty big too. My girlfriend and I both looked at each other as the credits rolled after having talked about just this topic before the movie, and said, "He'd be really good as Superman." He does look a little old, but I'm not sure if Warner Bros. is currently going for origin story (yawn) or plop-you-down-in-the-middle-of-the-action. So Fraser gets my vote.

Boy, they're really making a movie out of everything, aren't they? So my question is, where's my dang Dukes of Hazzard movie? Tell me someone's optioned this.

CBS have already aired two Dukes of Hazzard reunion movies.

Not a movie, actually. A mini-series, it seems for Galactica.

I'm typing this out from he March issue of Hotdog magazine:

Tommy Lee Jones is offended. How could anyone think that the Oscar-winning actor would even consider starring in a Dukes of Hazzard movie? And as Boss Hogg? As preposterous as the thought is, that's exactly who producers of the forthcoming feature film approached for the role. Brad Pitt, who was asked to play Luke Duke, was happy to mull it over but Jones was a little upset that the studios would offer him such claptrap. Thing is, only days after ignoring the offer, Jones reconsidered. Has he too realised that doing Men in Black sequels might be more harmful to your career than a Dukes movie?
