Casey Affleck? Hmmm.... that's interesting.
I am tired of Leo in Scorsese movies. Man, Leo needs to be in an action movie or a comedy or something. I am tired of him being in all of the Oscar bait films.
three names pop into mind:
1. Casey Affleck
2. Michael Shannon
3. Robert Downey Jr.
thats why i have a problem with Leo. he is so obvious doing those oscars movies IMO.I am tired of Leo in Scorsese movies. Man, Leo needs to be in an action movie or a comedy or something. I am tired of him being in all of the Oscar bait films.
Affleck... maybe.
Shannon? Seriously?
RDJ is great, but he's too old now, unless they're going for middle-aged Sinatra.
It could be a longshot because of some of the roles he's done but it is a good suggestion. I'm a fan of Leo's but i don't think he would be right for the part either. Marsden could suprise us and under scorsese he has a good chance.
IF they do go with Marsden, the rest of the cast will definitely be of the A-list variety since Marsden is more of a fanboy fave than anything. It'll be in the vein of Notorious where most of the cast was more well known than the guy playing Biggie.
Definitely. The supporting cast would be A listers if Marsden were lucky enough to land this gig.
I'm rooting for him though.
Foxx To Play Sinatra?
18 May 2009 1:00 AM, PDT
Jamie Foxx has been tipped to play late Rat Pack crooner Frank Sinatra, according to reports.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Harry Connick Jr. were among the names rumoured to be in contention for the role after it was announced earlier this month that filmmaker Martin Scorsese will direct a biopic.
But now African-American actor Foxx, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004's Ray, has emerged as the favourite to play Ol' Blue Eyes.
And studio bosses are convinced Foxx has the charisma and talent to tackle the role of Sinatra, who died in 1998.
An insider tells Britain's Daily Star, "Jamie would seem to be born to the role. Magnificent voice, convincing acting ability - like Frank himself - born the wrong side of the tracks, makes it big against all odds, has his brush with authority. The guy's a gift."
Um what?This has to be like one hell of a big mistake.God i hope this is a mistake and they're actually considering Foxx to play the role of Sammy Davis
