Fruitvale Station - Ryan Coogler's moving tale of the tragic shooting of Oscar Grant in the Bay Area in 2009 - has been one of the hits of the Cannes Film Festival thus far, with Michael B. Jordan's lead turn a particular standout.
We spoke to Jordan - so good in both The Wire and Chronicle, of course - and his Fruitvale Station co-star Melonie Diaz for an upcoming videblogisode, and they were on great form. You'll see the full interview on Friday. But we couldn't resist asking Mr. Jordan about the strong rumours that he's about to reteam with his Chronicle director, Josh Trank, on Fox's reboot of The Fantastic Four, where he would play Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer walked into the 96th Academy Awards and blew everyone away, winning seven Oscars on the night. But is it Nolan's best film yet?
Cancel all proposed awards ceremonies and hand over the major gongs to Peter Farrelly's Ricky ;Stanicky.
Late Night with the Devil will be The Exorcist for a new generation.
Still not fully behind this potential casting. Nothing against him, I thought he was awesome in Chronicle. I'm just not feeling it.
he is a good actor but i simply dont like the move they did. very inaccurate.
I don't think this is a bad thing at all. We need more ethnicity in movies. I mean Denzel, Morgan, Larry, Jamie and Don are not the only minority actors in the guild. Think about that. These actors will literally die working cause Hollywood cant cast other African-american actors.
Here's food for thought, wheres the next Chinese action star, Jet-Li? Maybe, but its been how many years since Bruce Lee and we haven't cast Chinese actors in any leading roles and Chow Yun-Fat doesn't count.
We live in a very diverse planet with more color and races than anglo saxon.
The comics were written for a certain time and period, this is the year 2013 and skin color should change the fundamentals of a comic book character.
What I'm saying is, I want to see more actors, regardless of sex and color. I just want good acting.
I don't see him as this character. I just don't see it as a perfect fit.
