Harry Lennix Joins Man of Steel

Source: Variety

Harry Lennix (Five Heartbeats, Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions, Dollhouse) has signed on the the cast of director Zach Snyder’s Man of Steel.  He joins fellow Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Julia Ormond, and Christopher Meloni in an absolutely star studded cast.  He’s cast as a high ranking military officer name d General Swanwick.

I like d him in both Matrix movies as Commander Lock (AKA Deadbolt) and he was a bright spot in the much maligned Dollhouse.

Man of Steel is produced by Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Returns, Dark Knight, Inception) and is scheduled for a December 2012 release date.

Idris Elba, Luke Cage?

Source: SuperHero Hype

On the hills of the premiere of Marvel Entertainment’s Thor, starring Chris Helmsworth, Idris Elba was asked at a press conference if there were any other Marvel characters he was interested in playing.  He said that he would be interested in Luke Cage.  Currently, he’s playing Heimdall in Thor.  This puts him in direct competition with Isaiah Mustafa who also expressed interest in playing Power Man.  Previous rumors had Tyrese Gibson in the role if the movie was to be directed by John Singleton.

I like Elba and think he’s a brilliant actor.  He was great as Stringer Bell in The Wire, and even better as DCI John Luther.  He was also going to takeover for Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, but that role is now being played by Tyler Perry.  I’m not going to get my hopes up for Idris as Luke Cage.  I think he might be a little old, and though he has the acting ability, I don’t think he could physically handle the role.

I’ve always thought Tyrese Gibson would be a good choice.  We’ve posted a bunch of stuff about a Luke Cage movie and potential actors for the role over the last few years.  For example, John Singleton talked about casting Tyrese Gibson or Chiwetel Ejiofor.  I’ve even posted a list of possibles here, including Michael Jai White, Morris Chestnut, and Taye Diggs.  Personally, I would like to see what Isaiah Mustafa could do.  I know his acting is unproven, but I think it would be good to see someone new who doesn’t have any history of portraying an iconic hero already.

Idris Elba can be seen in Thor starting May 6.  Isaiah Mustafa can sometimes be seen on Chuck, Mondays at 8:00 on NBC.

Quick Review: All-Star Superman

allstarsupes.jpg

All-Star Superman is the 10th movie in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line. It’s based on a 12-issue series of the same name written by comic book fanboy favorite Grant Morrison. The previous movies include, Superman: Doomsday, Batman: Gotham Knight, Green Lantern: First Flight, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, and Batman: Under the Red Hood.  Basically, the story is about Superman’s impending death due to some maneuvering by Lex Luthor and how Superman/Clark Kent is dealing with it.  Sounds like that could be a potentially great story.

Let me start by saying that of the previous 9 releases, I liked each and every one of them. They were all animated well and the voice acting was great. For some reason, this movie was a miss for me. It might be that I don’t like the story, because I didn’t like the series it was based on. However, I think it’s more than that. The animation was fine, but I’ve seen better. The voice acting was okay, but it could have been better. Edward Asner as Perry White and Anthony LaPaglia as Lex Luthor were great, but it seems as if everyone else was either phoning it in or half-asleep. Maybe there wasn’t as much enthusiasm from the production team for this movie as it has been for the previous ones. It seems that this might be a theme of DC Comics. Start great with something and once fans get interested and excited about it, don’t work as hard on it anymore because fanboys will still buy it. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just not as good as the other movies have been.

DC has been getting a lot of props for these animated movies. They do them so much better than Marvel, but this movie shows there might be a few kinks in DC’s armor. If you’re a die hard DC fan or Superman fan, you’ll probably love this movie. Most people should just skip it.

Black Panther: A Writer is Hired

Source: Hollywood Reporter

 

PantherStorm

According to Heat Vision, Marvel Studios has put Black Panther into production.  Mark Bailey has been hired to write the script about the King of Wakanda, T’Challa.  Kevin Feige will produce.

Now, I’m not expert, but this is an weird choice to me.  Bailey has been writing and working on documentaries (Pandemic: Fighting AIDS, Ghost of Abu Ghraib).    I’ll be fair.  I’m all for giving new talent a chance, and maybe he’s as big a Black Panther fan as I am; Marvel Studios has done very well at their in house productions (Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk)  So, I’ll give them some leeway.  Casting will be the key, and I hope they don’t choose Michael Jai White.
