Idris Elba As James Bond? ‘I’d Consider It,’ Actor Says:

r-idris-elba-large570

Call him Bond, James Bond?

Though Daniel Craig is about to embark on his third adventure as 007, speculation already abounds as to who will replace him. One name that has been the subject of intrigue is Idris Elba, the English actor best known for his role as intellectually fierce drug king Stringer Bell in HBO’s landmark series “The Wire.” That would make him the non-white James Bond — an idea which Craig himself first suggested after Barack Obama was elected president back in 2008 — and something Elba endorsed, if mildly, in an interview with the Guardian in 2009.

How Andy Garcia got David Duchovny all wet…:

duchovny

Mulder’s now on the case of the mysterious ‘Phantom’.

David Duchovny (“The X-Files”, “Californication”) has joined Ed Harris and William Fichtner in the submarine thriller “Phantom”. Duchovny replaces, strangely enough (since they’re not at all alike), Andy Garcia in the movie. Natascha McElhone, who stars with Duchovny on TV’s “Californication”, is also onboard the film.

Todd Robinson (“Lonely Hearts”) directs the film, set on a submarine during the Cold War, which is based on his own script.

Variety says of Duchovny’s role :

Duchovny will portray the leader of the Soviet special forces team aboard the submarine, whose mission is cloaked in mystery.

Hugh Jackman, On WWE Raw, Breaks Dolph Ziggler’s Jaw

YouTube Preview Image

 

hugh-jackman

It’s Wolverine, bub.

Hugh Jackman appeared on WWE Raw on Monday night, making an effort to reach out to the young male audience that could make or break his upcoming robot boxing film, “Real Steel.” A unique blend of glitzy showman and physical specimen, Jackman helped move story lines and drama along, and near the end of the night, got in his own bit of action.

The star ended up in the corner of underdog wrestler Zach Ryder as he took on Dolph Ziggler, a heel wrestler known for antagonizing the audience and his opponents. He extended the annoyance to Jackman, intentionally confusing his famed Marvel X-Men character with Batman.

So Jackman made him pay.

Fast forward to 1:05 in the video below and check out Jackman just straight up laying out Ziggler with a punch that would make his robot buddies proud. And while it was staged, the results certainly weren’t planned.

“land in Bikini Bottom 9:30 am, MRI scheduled for 1 pm…..possible fractured jaw #thanksBatman” Ziggler tweeted on Tuesday, apparently so disoriented by the punch that he thought he was Spongebob Squarepants. “hairline mandibular fracture. Guess i’ll put my chipotle in a blender for a few weeks, its not ballet #HEEL > heal,” he added later in the day, confirming the injury.

It’s hard to say, this being professional wrestling, whether he actually had his jaw broken, or the scripted series has moved over to social networking, too. After all, the whole event was to build buzz for “Real Steel,” and the WWE, andwell, we’re doing just that by writing about the event. Either way, it was a pretty nasty punch.

More Riddick artwork released!:

riddick19sept2011

In the spirit of Creative Sundays…

Concept art and Key frames allow a production to explore possibilities before actually committing to film. The road to the “R” rating, that so many of you were vocal about, has been a long one. The advantage however, (never empower the negatives) was that we were allowed a really extensive preproduction. The art work is so good, the artists have really outdone themselves in illustrating this world at it’s early stage.

When this film comes to the screen… know that you willed it into being!

Haha…
