Ellen Page?

This just dropped right the fuck off my radar.

You forgot the word "another", right?

Wow, there's Ellen Page hate? Is it just because of Juno?

Anyone who thinks Juno is all Ellen Page is about should see Hard Candy.

A lot of people hate her due to Hard Candy and Juno.

I don't mind her, I think she's a good little actress.

Juno only helped to seal the deal for me. I thought she was terrible in Hard Candy and X3, also. I just don't buy into her snarky, mouth half-cocked delivery. I think she's a pretentious little bitch and I would have completely written off Drag Me To Hell had she remained attached. Unless she has a small role, I know I'll hate this movie every minute she's on-screen.

I understand not liking someone but you'll write off a Nolan flick because of her?

If anyone can get a kick ass performance out of her it's Nolan.

Agree.

Im not a fan of her's either, but I have total faith in Nolan. The man knows what he's doing. One of the elite filmmakers working today.

Ken Watanabe has joined the cast, it's a Batman Begins reunion.

Also, Tom Hardy.

Actually just watched RocknRolla last week and discovered Tom Hardy. Loved his freakout scene set to "Bankrobber" by The Clash, so it's definitely cool he's involved.

The whole idea that Watanabe's character is blackmailing DiCaprio (a business guy) coupled with the concept makes it sound like a sci-fi 52 Pick-Up. And for that matter, I'm definitely in.

According to this Calgary Sun article on the film, the budget will be around $200 million.

Holy fuck...WB really bows down to Nolan now don't they. I hope it gets that bank back cuz...an "original" sci-fi film, though it does have name actors, with a budget that huge nowadays....I dunno. But...if they market it as "from the director that made The Dark Knight"...they'll be fine I think...

If it really is $200m, Nolan is really putting his neck on the line for it. If it turns out anything less than spectacular and profittable, he'll be under some pretty extreme scrutiny.

Seriously? It could make $5 and they'd bow down to him for Batman 3.

Yeah...but Batman has enough widespread knowledge of a property than just a new sci-fi film. Whatever this makes..it will never deter from WB giving Nolan 100% approval for a new Batman flick. That's a guarantee...

Oh yeah, Batman is a given, I just meant in terms of other personal projects.

When was the last really successful sci-fi flick that wasn't Star Wars or Star Trek?

Wall-E (critically and financially)

Terminator 4 is doing quite well overseas, Minority Report did "alright" but was critically a hit, and The Matrix series pulled in $$.
