That's true. But if they found an identical to Miles then the guy might not be able to act. So a balancing test seems to apply. That is, who looks the most like the real life character yet also possesses good acting ability. I'm still looking forward to see on the big screen. It's a miracle they even made the movie especially with the likes of bigger stars.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

There's a little bit of similarity going on there especially the patina of his face. I wonder if Bale will use his natural British accent.

How does that explain Damon?    ;D

Better than Tom Cruise but not optimal I would agree. They were floating the idea of Cruise at some point weren't they?

Is there a way we can all go see this at SAAC 44? It will be released June 28th. What would it cost to screen it at the convention?

The next thing you'll want to do is go to the Dependable Drive In Theater in Moon, PA to see it. :)

I mentioned it in the other thread, but I can't believe they didn't get Matthew McConaughey to be CS.

Maybe some of it had to do with certain actors getting along with one another.

I seem to recall McConaughey is not part of that Hollyweird social circle Damon and Bale are vocal members of.

Well, The fact that Bale is in it means I will NOT pay to see it. I wonder how they'll work in a lecture on non-existent global warming? You know it's coming.

Once the movie is out we are all richer on paper with bigger security problems.
