You Keep Calling Me Jackie. I Don't Like You.

[Captain Carnage]

Well, the world's worst kept casting secret edges a little closer to official confirmation this comin' Friday, no doubt...

Jackie Earle was offered the part back on June 20; he'd gotten wind of internet fan buzz linking him to the character, put himself on tape and sent this in to the studio (in much the same way as he'd done previously for Little Children.) Obviously liking what they saw, he was called up for audition... and there ya go. He came out on top ahead of Paddy Considine and Doug Hutchison, themselves both in contention having also met with Snyder and done the whole reading for the part thing.

He's got the look for Kovacs (certainly for the relatively short amount of time we'll be seeing him sans mask in recent script drafts)... I'm wonderin' if he's got the chops to pull off the voice and the presence for Rorschach in full-on intense mode? Can he deliver a credible performance from behind the fearsome face furniture, akin to Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta, which was a worthy turn in what was otherwise a crappy adaptation. A case of history repeating itself...?

Hurm.

I'm sure its just the usual net rumours

I didn't get that of the net, trust me.

Try lookin' for it if you want; you'll not find it.

i like the idea

 

[Johnichi Chiba]

Sucks that Doug didn't get the part, but I look forward to what Jackie's going to do with it.

 

[Superman]

I'm happy with this casting. I think Jackie will do a great job and it's good to see him make a comeback.

 

[Sandman138]

He's perfect, and anybody who disagrees has their head up their ass.

 

[Captain Carnage]

He's certainly a creepy fugly shortass, an' no mistake.
Who knows, he might even stink, too?


Wonder if that's how Snyder sold the role to him..?
Y'see, I got this f uckin' cool part, dude, you'd be awesome for it...

 

[Dr. Manhatten]

He was a revelation in Little Children and will do this role quite well. There's also a cool little reunion with him and Patrick Wilson from the mentioned movie, so they're doing well so far IMO
