Agree. I'm perfectly fine with Scarlett playing Elena. But please for the love of god do not let Wahlberg play Drake.

I already know this movie is gonna be all about the stars and nothing else. So my hopes are pretty much gone.

I like Marky Mark, but he isn't right here at all. Fact is the director just worked with him, he is comfortable with him, and he all but sealed the deal already.

Oh I'd love if they use Emily Rose. For that matter, I'd be happy for them to use all of the voice actors. Though, Emily probably is the more feasible of all of them (ie Nolan looks a bit old to be playing Drake). Of course, I don't really think any of that will happen.

Have you ever heard of Iliza Shlesinger? She recently won Last Comic Standing. I think she'd work because shes an actual comedian...and of course camera friendly... http://www.onlineusanews.co...

@ Q
Check out the behind the scenes stuff for Uncharted too, if you havent already! They show that they are real actors and are more than camera friendly to say the least. They acted out every scene, not only with cameras watching, but with artist teams, animators, illistrators etc... They did an amazing job.

Russell does nothing to alleviate any concern I might have. He's done nothing that's really impressed me and causes me to place faith in him. Three Kings was alright. The Fighter was decent, but in the end it really missed it's mark and was something of a let down for me with how he turned such an inspiring real-life Rocky tale into something just...not inspiring really. The life was sort of drained out of the feel-good moment that should've been. The real impressive part of that movie was the acting. Which Russell had nothing to do with.

Yeah... I didn't want to go into details as far as his career, but he has a more than healthy track record compared to most directors that have made video game based movies.

Contrary to you, I loved The Fighter and consider it one of the best among the nominees. Performances surely helped a lot, but the movie was well made.

I don't think he wanted (or cared much) about the feel good of the movie. That's why he basically exploited the frustration, sadness and discomfort.

I'm not implying that he's a great director because he has no background to support it, but I'm comfortable with him in command to be honest.
