  Edward Woodward from (the good, original, no Nick Cage) Wicker Man and Hot Fuzz?
  
  Anyway never seen this TV series, but the film sounds cool and I like Washington, so I'll go and see it.

  
  I knew who Denzel would be playing before I even clicked the link. I swear he hardly never plays anything but an investigator/officer/agent any more. Pathetic.

  
  Why is that pathetic? What roles have arnie, willis, eastwood and sly played in their careers?
  
  Man on Fire and Glory are cracking films and he has real star quality.
  
  And what other roles would Hollywood be brave enough to give a black actor? They even changed the story of the Pelican brief so his character wouldn't sleep with Julia Roberts - that's pathetic like your ill thought out comment.

  It shows a lack of branching out, as he has just resorted to playing the same characters more and more these days. And don't throw Clint into that mix. He branches out plenty, and has conquered almost every genre of film without having to play the same character type each time.

  Although I agree with you, I wouldn't put Sly in there. Stallone has played a footballer, a boxer, a mercenary, a soldier, and more. He has done tons of different roles.

  What´s wrong with being a genre actor? Doesn´t mean he´ll play the same guy over and over.

  I just read that Ben Affleck is mentioned in connection with a Justice League film and a multi-film-adaptation of Stephen King´s The Stand - both times as director. Which is good news in my book, since I value Ben Affleck much more for his directing than for his acting.

  @M_Balje, perhaps it would be enough to mention all those films with links instead of posting 21 embedded clips. My shockwave plugin just crashed upon seeing that mass ;-) .

  The only reason I am keeping up on justice league rumors is because I am willing to bet it will be the next time i see Batman for a while. Ben Affleck directing should be ok I am hoping they cast a good batman.

  As great as Affleck's films have been lately, I get a bit weary when 'Ben Affleck' and anything involving a superhero are together in the same news article.

  I think that Afflecks' Daredevil has been seriously underrated all these years.

  Man, Crowe looks awesome in that shot. I'm looking forward to this now, though I'm not a very biblical man.

  According to reports the movie is going to be set in a post apocalypse-like world with Noah being a Mad Max-character, so I'm all in :D

  Arnie is back! It's so great to see.
  
  The Avengers 2 is coming on 1st May 2015. No surprise there, then.

  Arnie and Johnny Knoxville battling a cartel in a small town with a ton of machine guns.
  
  This might just be the best film ever.

  Wow, that looks fun. I'll pay the ticket price just to see Arnie walking and firing that shotgun. Great to have him back.

  Look like a Dark Knight / Bourne spoof. The movie is partly written by a writer of Bourne Ultimatum, Ocean's 12 and The Sentinel.

  Bullet to the Head. From Walter Hill. With Stallone. And an axe.
  
  Sly is even better than Arnold in delivering dialogue. "Ahjussdid." I could practice for years and wouldn´t be able to speak like that.
  
  I don´t know, getting old seems fun lately, with Sly and Arnold around :-) .
  
  Gotta go, work out.

  I have to say that Sly has aged better than Ah-nuld. Ah-nuld looks pretty old in comparison.

  Sly has aged better and has quite a bit more range than Arnie as an actor, to put it mildly.
  I read a ways back that he was using the human growth hormone (I think he was stopped by customs in Australia):, hope it's not true ... I don't know much about it, actually.

  Another Western looking Noah - he was black for god's sake!
  
  Still, can't wait to see it.

  One could also put it this way: Sly is an actor. ;-)

  At the time of the release of Rambo4 he spoke openly about taking hormones. He said in the near future everybody will take them. Don´t know if he still takes them.

  What beautiful, beautiful news hits my MacBook screen tonight: they are still moving forward with 'The Girl Who Played With Fire.' Screenwriter Steven Zaillian is still hard at work at it, and the film is now slated to hit theaters in 2014, at the earliest:

  I will really be ecstatic when we find out more about the cast and crew, mainly if Fincher returns to direct. Craig and Mara are signed to do the last two films, and if he returns, along with some other returning cast, I'll be incredibly grateful.
