Original “Howling Mad” Murdock to Appear in “The A-Team” Movie? – “We [DwightSchultzfansite] are pleased to inform you all that Dwight has actually already been working in Vancouver, where he has played a cameo role in The A-Team movie. Sharlto Copely, the South African actor who plays Murdock, is according to Dwight: ‘brilliant beyond words’. Dwight has seen his screen test and he stated: that honestly, if Sharlto is given an opportunity to do what I saw in that test, “Murdock” will be better than ever!’ Sharlto has been very kind to him on the set and Dwight must say that he has been treated very well.” This is cool news. I would be more excited if Mr. T made a cameo – but maybe Schultz’s involvement will open the door to more original cast members appearing in the movie. DwightSchultzfansite.nl.
Rachel McAdams is The Black Cat in “Spider-Man 4″? - “Mania.com has heard from reliable sources that Sam Raimi and company have begun the process of casting the villains and supporting players of ‘Spider-Man 4′. We can exclusively reveal that actress Rachel McAdams has met with the producers of the film for a major role. McAdams (of ‘Wedding Crashers’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes’ fame) is said to be a top contender for the role of Felicia Hardy, known to comic fans as The Black Cat. Our sources tell us that the Black Cat’s story fits well with Raimi’s Spider-Man formula, which always finds the villains troubling not only the costumed hero, but also becoming entangled in Peter Parker’s personal life as well. Fans recall that when Spidey first encounters the Black Cat, she’s a cat burgler looking to free her ailing father from prison. She becomes smitten with the web-slinger, to the point of a stalker-level obsession. Later stories had Peter reciprocating her affection and her becoming a lover, a friend and ally (the perfect thing to allow Sony to create a Spidey spin-off).” Rachel McAdams will bring beauty and great acting skills to this role (if the news is true or if she gets the part).

“Spider-Man” Broadway Show: “Spider-Man Turn off the Dark” has it’s Peter Parker - “Broadway has found its Spider-Man — rock singer Reeve Carney. Producer Michael Cohl says Carney will portray celebrated web-slinger Peter Parker in “Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark.” The lavish musical is still scheduled to open sometime in 2010 at the Hilton Theatre. Dates will be announced. The show has had a troubled history, with work on the musical stopped for last summer because of financial difficulties. “Spider-Man” reportedly has a budget of upward of $40 million, and the Hilton has undergone extensive renovation to accommodate the show. It will be directed by Julie Taymor and features a score by Bono and The Edge of U2.” THR.com.
Denzel Washington is Headed to Broadway Again - “Denzel Washington will return to Broadway in a revival of “Fences,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning August Wilson play. Washington has closed a deal to play Maxson family patriarch Troy Maxson, a role originated by James Earl Jones. Kenny Leon (“A Raisin in the Sun”) is negotiating to direct. Washington will begin rehearsing in February for an April opening. He will topline “Fences” in a 14-week run through mid-July. Scott Rudin and Carole Shorenstein Hays will produce. Hays produced “Julius Caesar,” in which Washington played Brutus in his last Broadway turn in 2005.” Denzel was amazing in “Julius Caesar” and I think he’ll do great in this role as well. Washington is a phenomenal actor and can play a tree and still get nominated for an Oscar. Yeah, he’s that good. Variety.com.
