Comic Goodies - Casting Rumours For "He-Man", "Green Hornet" and Christian Bale "Batman" Interview

Most rumours turn out not to be true (like the one about mine and Audrey Tautou's relationship, there was no relationship - we just dated briefly) so take these ones lightly and no one should get hurt.

"He-Man"

Supposedly Fox is trying to get "Sex and the City" star Jason Lewis (take a look at him here - he seems to have a He-Man "look") to play the role of He-Man and John Woo has been trying to get his good friend Nicolas Cage to play Skeletor (though his Ghost Rider schedule may not allow that to happen). Whuh? I never thought of Skeletor as a drunk, car stealing, prisoner plane riding, romantic angel - but then again - it's John Woo doing He-Man. Yeah.

"Green Hornet"

Matt Leblanc as the Green Hornet for the Weinsteins. I guess the plan is to have him star to scale down the budget without resorting to an "unknown". It's almost enough to make you feel bad for Leblanc, but mostly it just makes me laugh then lower my head in disappointment. So this is the "new" Miramax, huh?

"Batman Interview"

Now on to things that we all actually care about. I think Christian Bale is an excellent choice to revive the limp Batman film series (Christopher Nolan directing is on the money as well) and Comic Book Movie has an interview with the man himself. It's been a long time since I've been looking forward to a comic book movie, it's got a great cast (Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman), a bunch of money ($135 million) and hopefully this one restores some confidence in my regard for the genre.
