ANYWAY, if you want to discuss something REAL about the upcoming movie and casting decisions, chew on this, which they're mewing about over at DN now:

http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2009/05/c ... rkness.php
According to X17 Online, the actor [=Robert Pattison] met with director Peter Berg, who is set to direct a big screen adaptation of the sci-fi thriller "Dune," sparking rumors that R-Patz is going from bloodsucker to alien!
Peanut gallery commentary on same page:
heard of robert, never eard of Dune.
but i have a feeling that every movie robert plays in will be a huge smash
- Celine

Pattinson is my fav actor and Dune my fav book. I hope this is true.
- caz

This would thrill me to bits. I want Rob in a classy production like this. Berg did great with Hancock. The role suits him.
- Muse

If he is up for one of the lead roles then he would be playing a human (an advanced human in the distant future, but not an alien).
- SG
Well, the last at least paid some attention, but in one sense he IS an alien/extraterrestrial from our point of view. :)
As much as I like Robet Pattison I don't know about him as Paul. It might would be interesting. Which someone just told me that they thought he would be a good Paul. Either way, it's nothing but a rumor for now. Hmm?
What fear is there in the night?
Nothing, but that which is in our own imaginations.

I think Robert Pattison is perfectly cast for Peter Berg's film...

Yeah, that :)

Still, if this film is a more "muscular time", Robert is short about 100 pounds of muscle :lol:

The "less muscular" state of the actor probably means he's not being cast for Berg's other project, Hercules in THIS IS SPARTA, DAMMIT!, either, right?

And since I forgot to say so above, I THINK THIS IS A FANTASTIC CHOICE! Berg FTL! :lol:


(In other industry-related news, I guess the stunning performance here over the last few hours means Kevin won't be the only one in the running for the Internet Drama Oscar? :shock: )

This could be Paul about to fight Jamis! (I know the KJA comandos lurk in here, maybe I've got them the idea and they will cast Labeouf for the role of Paul...)

These are appealing actors for the teenagers, you just happen to think like a Hollywood producer!:) (remember Anakin...he looked like a band boy the likes of N Sync)
