The Official Mark Strong & Sinestro Thread

[I SEE SPIDEY]

He could be lying but for now I'm going to take JEH at his word.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Weaving or Issacs for me, just NOT JEH. He just doesnt fit for me. If they do go that way though i have faith in Campbell.

Heath freaking Ledger dude. Must I say this?

Just because someone doesn't fit your perfect vision of the character doesn't mean he'll suck. How many times have you all learned this lesson?

 

[Philly Phanboy]

I'm wondering if this is a half-true rumor and he is actually up for Hammond.

 

[dark_b]

Ledger had enough acting chops. thats a fact. hes face visual didnt resemble a 2d painting of a joker character which fans always want. he had an accent and he had long hair.he took a risk and went all for it and made a fantastic interpretation of joker. plus a fantastic script helped.

so i dont understand how naming Ledger is now getting popular on SHH.

 

[Octoberist]

it's because it's a bad case of deju vu with JEH, if he is indeed Sinestro.

I do have to say that JEH does look like Hector..well the old school version anyway.

 

[Webhead2006]

well at most JEH name is probably a name of many who campbell likes their works, and would think work well in the film. Now will JEH get a role who knows, since we know he hasnt been approached yet.

 

[Octoberist]

i know people hate devin of chud.com here, but he made a good point a while back:

When there's cast rumors, it's very 50/50 depending how progress has been made. Either it could be someone on the verge of signing the deal (which is more legit) or it could be just a dream casting list created by the director and casting director.

I really think that JEH's name was floating around and the person who heard it just reported to aint it cool news. I'm just wonderin who else they have in mind for Sinestro!

 

[Webhead2006]

yea me too man, i wonder if they do have a list of dream guys they would like to see, compared to you know a more real list of choices.

 

[Octoberist]

yeah. i was an intern at a production house, and they created a list of actors all the time. heck, even i had to make a list up after a script of theirs. From there, they proceed to find the most realistic match, depending on the casting agency and funds.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i understand on those things work, i want to get into production work myself in hopefully the near future. Though i have to get out of my home city. Nothing is happening here.

 

[Dark Knight]

JEH would be a solid choice as Sinestro! Just use some CGI to make him look a bit taller and all will be good.

Having Routh as Superman make a cameo would be a good way to go as well......especially since there it nothing going on with the next Supes film any time soon. Which is sad in itself......

Campbell and the costume designers just need to make sure they make the necessary improvements and adjustments the Superman suit. Make it far better looking visually onscreen than the crap that used in SR.

 

[Octoberist]

i think they got the lady who designed the costumes from Lord of the Rings...

 

[Doctor Jones]

Only Clark shows up in the film. Having Supes show up will be too much. That's robbing GL out of his own film and saying that there must be some A lister to appear to make it good. It's insulting.

I'm not exactly into the whole Cleark cameo, but if they do it right, I might dig it. I don't want to see him for more than five seconds. It should be more of a blink if you miss sort of thing.

 

[Lobo]

He'd be good, but I am hoping for Jon Hamm as Sinestro

 

[Webhead2006]

Cant wait to see who is cast officially if its ends up being JEH or if its someone else. As for the kent cameo i said before its likely wont be in the shooting draft if it has even made it into the current rewrite drafts they are at right now. But who knows.

 

[mclay18]

i think they got the lady who designed the costumes from Lord of the Rings...

They have TWO crew personnel from LOTR: production designer Grant Major and like you said, costume designer Ngila D**kson. And they have Watchmen's senior art director, Francois Audouy, to top it off.

Production designer Jeff Mann was originally attached to the project, but I guess Campbell wasn't satisfied with his work.

 

[Webhead2006]

Totally we have heard some good names getting attached to the project for months now. Cant wait to see what they have in store.

 

[NotFadeAway]

This is awesome news. Martin Campbell, Ryan Reynolds, and now the possibility of JEH. This film is going to be amazing.

 

[Dark Knight]

That's what I orginally thought, that Clark would make a cameo....which would be just fine in itself, but now this report said Superman?

Nice!

Now lets hope they get WETA or ILM to do the SFX!

 

[solidsnake86]

Sinestro's not even the villain in this film, which if you think of it, were only going to be seeing hints of him turning into a villain, so for now he is a good guy. Unless a lot of stuff has changed in the script....

 

[Doctor Jones]

Indeed. It'll be interesting to see how JEH can play the mentor while still good since he doesn't become the villain in this film.

 

[Webhead2006]

well we dont know how much as changed with the script/characters with all the rewrites they have done. They could have easily made sinestro be mentor for half the film and then turn and go evil, or what not.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I hope not. He's a character who deserves good devlopment.
