Margot Robbie as Motoko Kusanagi in Live Action Version of Ghost in the Shell

Say what??? There’s some hubbub about Hollywood casting white people in this popular manga and anime “Ghost in the Shell”. They want to cast Margot Robbie (of “Wolf of Wall Street” fame) as Motoko. What say you?

Real Style Talent Agency Out Of Michigan

Real Style Talent Agency http://rsol.us/

I got another e-mail update from Real Style today, saying they had a typo earlier about their military/law enforcement scenes. They had sent out earlier that the shoot was suppose to be June 24, but now it is June 27. They are still looking for extras to play these types: military, law enforcement, EMT, etc.

I figured, what the hell, and put my voucher in. They’ll show my updated pics to Zack Snyder and I just want to get an email saying I was booked to fuck with them. Even though, yes, I am technically available, I just don’t want to drive up there to Michigan. They are paying $8/hour for up to 12 hour shoots. That’s legit, but I don’t care enough to be in a stinking Batman v Superman film. Besides, I was initially excited about that original Transformers 4 casting but now we know what the final product looks like. So…

Anyway, Zack Snyder can consider me for the role of Robin. Just a cameo though. You have my agent’s number, don’t you? Schmooze.

And I updated my profile on their site, too, because I gained my weight back and grew out my facial hair and mop of hair. So maybe I can play a wicked hacker, druggie, or bum or Robin. Who knows?

Batman Vs Superman Costumes To Be Revealed in May 2014

By Chongchen Saelee

I have it within good authority that the official timetable release date of the new “Batman vs Superman” costume designs will be released in May. If you’ve applied to be an extra through RealTalent Casting in Michigan, then you’ve probably received email updates from them looking for people to film from May 2014 to Dec 2014. And there’s only one major film project in Michigan right now and it’s the Batman vs Superman film.

So there you have it. Ben Affleck is filming his Bruce Wayne shots in Michigan as we speak. But the actual costumed fight scenes can be filmed last minute (or let’s get real, be all computer generated) so they can design the costumes for maximum “epicness”. I highly doubt there is a “final” suit like Zack Snyder has been throwing out there. It would have just been the same Christian Bale suit but with a yellow bat ensignia. Hollywood is cheap like that, no creativity. Kevin Smith and Zack Snyder are in the business of selling bullshit after all.

So I’m sure the official new designs for all three characters Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman will be in May 2014. Guaranteed.

How I Would Adapt Jonny Quest for Live Action Film

By Chongchen Saelee

Everyone who grew up on some incarnation of Jonny Quest loves the appeal of being the bad-ass boy of the hour. You don’t want to be Robin because he just can’t outweigh Batman as the sidekick. Jonny Quest, however, although technically still the sidekick to his scientist father and Rick Bannon, is actually the main focus and star of his own show. If you’re a young kid watching this, you don’t feel left out.

And I’m sure Hollywood knows this is a good property to adapt for live-action. They’ve tried it. At one point, “High School Musical” star Zak Efron was attached to play Jonny Quest, but then he became a man, so no more of that.

If Jonny Quest is just James Bond, Jr., I say do it like a Bond movie then. Very serious tone. No dumbing it down for kids like Roberto Rodriguez would do (even though his Spy Kids franchise is relatively successful). (more…)
