: Wow.....I love Jake. He has yet to be in a really good movie, but I have liked him in everything he has done.
~~ By "good movie" do you mean box office smash? Because he was decent in October Sky and Donnie Darko was amazing. Thats all I've seen him in I think.
He is an odd choice somehow though. I know he was apparently the second runner up for BATMAN. SO I guess if figures he would be the choice to play Britt Reid who is similar to Bats.
~~ For Batman too? I know he was on deck if Macguire decided against a second Spidey. Man he really wants a superhero flick don't he?
But WOW, he is kinda young...I guess that is the way Kevin is going. That means that Kato will also have to be young, which means just about any known Asian actor is out...I mean they should really be about the same age.
~~ This is exactly what I was thinking. Unless Kevin goes for an older kick-ass butler-type Kato, I'm thinking Kato will probably be an unknown. Assuming this all goes through that means it will be Gyllenhaal (a relative unknown) and an unknown Kato (probably anyways). I guess if its gonna be as huge budget as they say, and they want to make the money, they are gonna have to cast a known love interest (if Kevin goes this route) and a known baddy. This is assuming it all goes through as is.
