A request

Hi,

Yahoo! News (in their infinite intelligence) referred to the following request, made by Christian Bale, as "Odd".

Christian Bale was McG's first choice to play John Conner, whom he calls "the most credible action star in the world right now." McG offered Bale the part while he was shooting "The Dark Knight," and he initially turned it down. Bale told McG that if he could refine the script to the point where it could be read on stage without any special effects and still be a compelling story, he would agree to star in it.

That's not odd, that's smart. This movie might be good.

Come with me if you want to live,
Phill

That's something that more movies should be written to spec for. Will it be interesting without the effects? If yes? Make it. If not, have Will Smith star in it. :)

Sadly, they have done the opposite with "Where the Wild Things Are". Instead of going back and fixing the root of the problem, I hear they're just CGing faces onto puppets.

It really isn't easy being green.
