Simon Cowell or Peirs Morgan could play Dandelo theyve had enuff practice.

Javier Bardem has brown eyes. He's a good actor. Is eye color really important? In "The Age of Innocence" they completely flipped Ellen and May. In the book, Ellen was a brunette and May was a tall, robust blonde. Funny, Winona Ryder's natural hair color is blondish, maybe strawberry blonde.

yes, EYE COLOR IS IMPORTANT!!! I have been dreaming of those eyes since i was in jr high!!! They must be blue!!

This movie is truly driving me insane. I watched the Oscars just to see Javier Bardem since I have yet to see a movie with him in it. I even yelled at him to say something....good thing my wife knows I'm a little nutty.

I'm actually rooting that Bardem doesn't take the role--say sorry--as I just can't imagine him as Roland. I find him a fine actor but I will take a lot of convincing that he can successfully pull off this role. I always wanted Viggo, but have to admit that since viewing another spectacular performance by Christian Bale in "The Fighter" I believe he would be awesome casting as Roland. Either way, Bardem is taking far too long to say yay or nay, so I've pretty much lost interest in him now.

Does anyone else feel that perhaps Brian Glazer should play Sheemie? I mean - he looks like a Sheemie!

[Brian]

Just a heads up... Cinematicle is saying that Viggo is looking to play General Zod in Zach Snyder's Superman reboot. Not sure if that takes him out of the 2nd place running for the DT films if Bardem says no.

According to Brian Grazer, who was queried by MTV at the Oscars: "[Bardem] is locked in psychologically. He really wants to do it, so we're absolutely rooting for him to do it."

I don't think I've ever heard that expression before. "locked in psychologically"

Hi,

Me neither, Bev.

I wonder WTF it means?

And if HE knows what it means?

Long days and pleasant nights

Maybe Hollywood types aren't allowed to say "in principle."
