Film and Theatre Lover!
YAY I really hope that it is true 🙂 Mickey !!!
Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson have been officially confirmed for the Iron Man sequel – by the film’s star, Robert Downey, Jr.
After weeks of speculation, Downey, Jr. reveals the pair will play villains in the film.
He says, “They are both cast and doing Iron Man 2. Garry Shandling is in the film. Of course we have Don Cheadle. We have Sam Jackson. We have Sam Rockwell. And we, of course, have, my dearest heart, Gwyneth Paltrow.”
Everyone just has to love Samuel L Jackson and I dont think it would matter if he was a little grumpy on set.
Veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson has embraced turning 60 years old – because he can now be a grumpy old man on film sets.
The Pulp Fiction star has showed little sign of slowing down his movie career since hitting the landmark age in December.
But his committed work ethic often leaves him disappointed with younger colleagues who refuse to toil as hard as he does.
Jackson says, “See, I have this unreasonable expectation that everyone is going to be as prepared as I am when I show up for work. I’m becoming more unreasonable as I grow older.”
And he insists it is inexperienced filmmakers who annoy him most, adding: “Most times the actors know what they’ve got to do; it’s young directors from the video world who drive me crazy. I know the shots will probably be used as DVD extras. But when I say this, the young guys stare at me like I’m being evil.”
I am glad that Cate Blanchett has the part, I think she is a fantastic actress.
Sienna Miller lost the chance to play Robin Hood‘s sweetheart in Ridley Scott‘s new Medieval epic – because she’s too young.
The actress had been attached to The Sheriff of Nottingham for over a year but when the project went through a rewrite, it quickly became clear she was no longer the right fit – and Cate Blanchett became the new leading lady.
Miller tells WENN, “The script has been evolving and changing and it often happens in films. They’ve been trying to make this for a couple of years and they rewrote the script and they needed someone who was older.
“There’s a husband who has been away at war for 10 years and he comes back, so it’s just not feasible for me to play her. Cate Blanchett is doing it.”
Miller insists there have been many other cast changes – but the media refuses to focus on them.
She adds, “The media doesn’t have to make quite as much a meal of it as they do when it happens to me. I’m sure it will be a wonderful project but this is not an absolutely shocking thing to happen in the movie industry when scripts evolve and casts change.
“Other people have changed in that cast, but the media just won’t document it. I would obviously love to work with Ridley and still I hope to in the future.”
