Ben Affleck Cast As Batman For Batman Vs Superman In 2015

Yep, that's Daredevil

Ladies and gentlemen, Batman has arrived! Earlier today, Warner Bros announced that Academy-Award winner Ben Affleck will be playing Batman, aka Bruce Wayne, in the Man of Steel sequel set for 2015. The actor, writer and director, best known for his award-winning films Argo and Good Will Hunting, was announced as The Caped Crusader this morning, as well as the film's release date, July 17, 2015.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this. Don't get me wrong, Affleck is an amazing actor, but I don't think he's suited for a superhero role (if Daredevil has taught us anything), but I'm willing to give him one chance to prove me wrong. He'll join Welshman Henry Cavill, who will reprise his role as Superman, on screen for the sequel, as well as in 2017 for the Justice League film.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how he does.

"Poltergeist" Remake begins Casting

Without Heather O'Rourke will this movie be able to succeed?

The very controversial remake of "Poltergeist" has officially began casting announcing Rosemarie Dewitt (Promised Land, AMC's Mad Men) has been cast for the leading female role in the film. Gil Kenan (Monster House) is set to direct from a screenplay by David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz The Great and Powerful). The film is being produced by Sam Raimi (Evil Dead) and Rob Tapert (The Possession) by Ghost House Pictures. 

Fans aren't happy to see this petrifying classic being dabbled with, which is completely understandable especially since Heather O'Rourke (Carol), the young girl that says "There Back" in the original classic died at only 12 years old. Fans are angry that they are going to ruin her memory with this new remake. With little hope, fans will just have to wait and see if this remake can pull it off.

Fantastic Four Reboot Gets Early Casting Rumours

Is that Captain America?

Okay, so the Fantastic Four reboot is coming together quit nicely over at Fox. With Chronicle director Josh Trank at the helm and producer of Kick-Ass Matthew Vaughn involved, all that's left is the cast. Well, we've got word that Fox is already looking at some stars to fill the roles. There's word that Fox is already got some actors "in talks" for the roles of Human Torch and Invisible Woman, apparently.

It seems they are looking at star of HBO's hit show Girls Allison Williams for Sue Storm/ Invisible Woman. I haven't actually seen Girls, but my brother has and he said that she's amazing in it. I'm not so sure about it, I need to see Girls before I make any judgements. But, at this point, anyone is better than Jessica Alba.

Now, moving on to another cast rumour. It seems that Chronicle star Michael B Jordan has been having talks with Fox for Human Torch, previously played Captain America himself, Chris Evans. I actually have seen Chronicle, and Jordan is amazing in it. He could pull off Johnny Storm.

"But wait?" I hear you ask, "Aren't Human Torch and Invisible Woman siblings?" Well, yes they are. "Well, if they're siblings, then how come they want two different raced people to play them?" Well, I don't think it matters. Fox is obviously looking for great actors and actresses to play the roles, regardless of race. That's something that can easily be fixed by saying one's adopted or they're step-siblings or something. Don't freak out. If you want to cry over them casting a different raced person than the comics, complain about Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury or Jamie Foxx as Electro.
