i hate the hell out of akiva goldsman as well, but he has actually handled the fantasy side of his work on \”Fringe\” fairly well. i\’m not saying that should help your worries, but he may have gotten slightly better since batman and robin. i pains me to say it though.

WHy would any of them (Viggo, Javier, Bale) want to sign up for such a time suck? I didn\’t figure VM and JB would be interested at all, and maybe I was right. I\’m not sure about Bale.

Jennifer Carpenter has enough trouble convincingly playing a white woman on Dexter. I\’m not sure she has the range to pull off a black character.

Ron Howard shortlisting Jennifer Carpenter to play an African American woman just goes to show how wrong he is for this film. Has he even read the books?

Susannah Dean was a black woman… WTF?? Casting a white actress seems to deny some very basic character traits and events within King\’s books.

Jennifer Carpenter can\’t act (her one-note Dexter character isn\’t the best performed cable show character to say the least).

I don\’t hold a lot of hope for this one… Ron Howard may be prolific and a genre-jumper, but most of what he directs is rather pedestrian, mainstream stuff… and he never really lends anything additional to it. Goldman…? The less said, the better… one of the worst hacks in the biz.

Nope, no hope for this project.

Is it really that difficult for Hollywood to cast a black actress for a black role?

Um…Ron? In the books, Susannah Dean is black. It\’s uh…kinda important.

And Bale as Roland? I don\’t see it. Where\’s Jack Palance when you need him….?

Bale in Roland yet was a rumor 2 years ago when JJ Abrams wanted to direct the trilogy and Carpenter in black woman\’s idea is so ….idiot
