It's not the only way, y'know.

Don't refer to that spawn of Satan .

Don't refer to that spawn of Satan .

Why not Essex?

It's not the only way, y'know.

Lolt: Towie!!!

 

[Double B]

Don't discuss such televisual atrocities!

Its amazing to think that out of the 16 actors thats going to appear in DOFP, 10 of them got nominated for either Emmy, Oscars or Golden Globes.

Hugh = Golden Globes, Oscar, Emmy
Halle = Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globes
Anna = Golden Globes, Oscar, Emmy
Ellen = Golden Globes, Emmy, Oscar
Patrick = Golden Globes, Emmy
Ian = Golden Globes, Emmy, Oscar
James = Golden Globes
Michael = Golden Globes
Jennifer = Golden Globes, Oscar
Peter = Golden Globes, Emmy

I don't think any superhero film had that before. The Avengers is close with 6 but DOFP still takes the cake.

You left at least one off - Hugh has been nominated twice for an Emmy (for hosting the Tony Awards) and won once. He was also in the group that was nominated for an Emmy for the Academy Award show he hosted.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

Ellen was nominated for an Oscar for Juno.

 

[JP]

She certainly was.

This is a five-minute video from Entertainment Tonight of a set visit from Hugh's new movie "Prisoners" (opening Sept. 20), co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The reason I'm posting it is at about 3:50, Hugh briefly mentions his X-Men diet as he was training during the filming of this movie.

Yowza what happened to Jake Gy?...

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I was thinking about those actor photos posted in the production office. Many of us speculated that by now those "missing gaps" would be filled with new casting announcements. Am I the only one surprised that they've already begun filming and yet no further announcements have been shared on updated casting choices? I wonder what kind of surprises Bryan has in store?

 

[JP]

Outside of Nixon, I don't expect to hear anything more.

 

[marvelrobbins]

We are probally left with who Is playing Nixon and possabel random mutants In 1973 scenes with little dialogue.They aren't going to announce any return appearances they want to
keep a surprise.But I think we know already all the major roles.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

Still hoping the space between Dinkalge and Berry is Alan Cumming.

Wonder if Nixon's gonna be a big name actor or just a low profile guy.

Hugh's stalker indicted on felony charges.

Hugh Jackman's alleged stalker indicted on felony charges
By LAURA ITALIANO

Prosecutors are taking a new swipe at Hugh Jackman's alleged razor-waving stalker.

Unhinged blonde Katherine Thurston has been indicted on felony charges in the alleged incident, in which she allegedly accosted the hunky "X-Men" and "Les Miserables" star at his West Village gym last week.

"There has been affirmative grand jury action," assistant district attorney Virginia Nguyen told a judge at a short hearing just before lunch.

The prosecutor gave no details of the new indictment, which will be unsealed at Thurston's next court date, set by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Steven Statsinger for May 8.

Thurston stood rear-cuffed and expressionless at the defense table, her hair in a mussy ponytail, before being led back to jail, where she is being held in lieu of $7,500 cash bail.

Legal aid lawyer Liz Beal did not request that Thurston be examined to see if she is mentally fit for trial. "That's what we're still trying to figure out," she told reporters after court, declining to comment further.

Thurston was originally charged with harassment, stalking, menacing and low-level weapons possession -- all misdemeanors. She wore the same gold ring on her wedding finger today that she'd worn when she was arrested; her lawyer said today that she did not believe her client was married.

Jackman has told The Post that the April 12 incident left him frightened for his family's safety. "We're getting married, right?" Thurston had screamed at him outside the Gotham Gym.

The Bakersfield, Calif. native -- a mom to three grown children -- was already on probation for stalking Jackman at a San Francisco concert last year.

“I was at his daughter’s school. I went to his gym this morning,” she told cops, according to the criminal complaint. “I want to marry him. This is not against the law. It is not against the law to have two wives."

I'd love to see nightcrawler too! But if the order of pictures is indeed billing order than I highly doubt Alan Cumming would bill higher than Halle berry nor is ot very likely he'll have significantly more screen time than her. If it isn't billing order than Alan cumming FTW!!!

I like the idea of Singer still keeping some roles as surprises, even if they are small roles.

This way, the production will be funnier, once we learn a few more mutants names.

I hope there are lots of surprises.

It's difficult to maintain an element of surprise these days, with fans like us demanding information and updates and other fans with their cameras.

But they seem more and more to be keeping a lot of films quite secret. There wasn't a lot of information about Iron Man 3, or Star Trek 2, for instance.

If nightcrawler Is In film my bet would be cameo at end of film.

Nixon may be only non cameo or background role yet to be revealed.

yeah, internet is really runing a bit the big experience of going to the theatre without knowing most info about the movie.

but this time, Singer himself said he wants to keep some surprises, so lets hope he really achieves it.

Its not that hard to keep a few cameos as surprises, as happened on previous movies, but an actor returning is much harder, so if thats one of his plans.... good luck, Singer!!! t:

Id really love to be surprised on the theatre, at least once

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

Appears the new Jennifer Lawrence movie halted filming due in Boston due to the recent bombings. Wonder what that means for her schedule.

Casting Alert/surprise??? Guys, Ive just realized something:

checking Singer's latest 'following' names, I saw the profile of an actress from LA/NY, Michelle Trachtenberg, I entered on her profile and her latest pic on April 12, says something like: Look at my new hair colour...... and is red

Spoiler

her tweet:

MichelleTrachtenberg ‏@RealMichelleT 12 Apr
What do you guys think of my new hair color?? #RedHeadsDoItBetter

https://***********/RealMichelleT/status/322561717072699392

Just a coincidence? or am I into something?

edited: have just seen on imdb that she was on buffy.... mmm, dont know.... maybe just a coincidence... but if this was the case... what would you think of this choice?
