Yeah, Asano is awesome.
I'm really not familiar with Thor's universe or characters so I can't comment on the quality of the casting, aside from saying that I like Asano and Stevenson.

i like this. sounds like they're going for an ultimate hawkeye look for the avengers movieQuoting megladon8 (view post)
one thing i found curious about that article. i thought favreau was directing the avengers movie?
I hate that new costume.
No, I imagine if they do that, it'd be more like Bryan Hitch's original design, not that shitstain Loeb and Madureira came up with.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
i kinda like it. it at least looks better when pacheco draws it
Ya know who they should have play Hawkeye? Ted Nugent. At least he'll know enough to put the arrow on the correct side of the bow.Quoting number8 (view post)
Losing is like fertilizer: it stinks for a while, then you get used to it. (Tony, Hibbing)
So in that interview in the Jurassic Park IV thread, Johnston said that Cap is mostly period, with present day bookends ala Saving Private Ryan.
Well, that's predictable, isn't it?
Open with Cap being found in a block of ice. As they thaw him out, the doctors/scientists talk about how in awe they are, as we dissolve to...
Steve Rogers, skinny weakling artist from New York. He doesn't fit in. We go through his origin story, he becomes the Sentinel of Liberty, gets sent to Europe, fighting Red Skull or Baron Zemo in WWII, yada yada. He finally understands his role as a hero and a symbol, he makes some inspirational speech, he goes on his final battle, he defeats the villains, but trapped in their device, boom, sent to the bottom of the ocean to be frozen (or maybe they'll try to inject "realism" and have him trapped in a cryogenic chamber and shit). It will be melancholic.
Back to present day. Cap is thawed out. He wakes up in a hospital bed, looks around, a shadowy figure approaches. Cap's eyes adjust, holy shit, it's Samuel L. Jackson. "Honor to meet you, Captain."
Credits.

Captain America casting shortlist:
I think I'd go for Porter, Vogel, and Krasinski in that order.
last four:
black widow - 8
zero dark thirty - 9
the muse - 7
freaky - 7

Even though I don't like Krasinski very much, he'd be my pick from those, because he's the least fresh-faced.
But that's just me being a picky nerd. I want whoever plays the character best.

I'll predict it goes to Garrett Hedlund.

I wouldn't be surprised. They could end up trying to pull another Sam Worthington, where a relatively unknown actor suddenly gets thrust upon the public in a whole bunch of huge A-list roles.
I still find Worthington's sudden rise to fame really puzzling.

Are you sure that Chace Crawford isn't just being considered for Steve Rogers pre-Captain America?
Meh
Just saw the new Iron Man 2 trailer on ABC. Looks pretty good.

EDIT: Can we edit out Iron Man 2 out of the title of this thread since there is another devoted to that?
Out of 4 stars:
The Guest: ***1/2
Furious 7: ***
The Tale of Princess Kaguya: ***
It Follows: ***1/2
Hugo Weaving is Red Skull.
I don't know how I feel about this.
