Screen bites

–This isn’t quite the new Indiana Jones poster:

It’s actually for Morgan Spurlock’s new film, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? Spurlock, of course, is the mad genius behind Super Size Me and FX’s 30 Days.

–IESB asks Jason Statham what comic character he’d like to play:

IESB: Anyone in particular?

Statham: Let me think… It’s funny, I took a meeting for Sub-Mariner. I don’t know if I’d look right running around in a tight speedo with wings on my ankles but there’s so many cool fucking characters. The Hulk, I’ve always been a big fan of but Ed Norton’s doing that. And rightly so. He’s fucking amazing. And he’s working with Louis Leterrier, believer it or not who did The Transporter. I’m trying to think of what would be a good comic book character for me to play. You know, there’s talk of them redoing The Crow. That was a good movie with Brandon Lee, although that was years ago. So if that one comes my way, bang! You know, there’s so many comic book movies out there and most of the time there’s only a handful of people who can do them any justice. Hopefully, they’ll come my way for one of them.

I don’t really see him as either the Sub-Mariner or The Crow … who do you think he should play?

–Ed Norton talks about his desire for more Hulk movies.

–Jessica Alba talks about doing a third Fantastic Four movie.

–Tyler Bates will do the score for Watchmen; he previously worked with Zack Snyder on 300 and Dawn of the Dead.

–The next Bond movie is called Quantum of Solace. It comes from a short story Ian Fleming wrote back in 1960. I have no idea what it’s supposed to mean.

–As you probably already know, sometimes fans go a little too far.

    Jason Statham = Cable.

    There’s only one British actor worthy of playing John Constantine.

    And she’s called Linda Henry.

    //\Oo/\\

    I do think that Statham could have been great for Constantine, other than his being too muscular to fit the role.
