This cast looks pretty good. Definitely looking forward to this one.
Good. In my opinion Gordon-Levitt is a better actor.
very nice,, i heard many celebrities have a account on _____Meet Wea lthy com_____ “”"”"”, i.m doubt since i found her profile.. you can talk with them online, it’s awesome~~~
nooo james franco is a way better actor he shud be playin the rule nt this old man hu i aint ever heard of!!!
JGL played this role flawlessly. I agree, if you’ve never even heard of him, how do you know how well he acts? And he’s only 29-.- I wasn’t aware that was old nowadays..
@Nik – JGL is three years YOUNGER than Franco. If you “aint (sic) ever heard of” him, how do you know Franco’s a better actor? Maybe you should give him a shot before you dismiss him. JGL is fantastic, trust me. He has done a lot of quality indie flicks, and those in the film world have a lot of respect for the man. Just wait and see!
