What's Goode For The Stoker

.

Just the other day an anonymous commenter left a comment on my recent Eric Bana in wet long-johns post remarking upon the fact that they'd never seen the above shot of a naked Matthew Goode in A Single Man captured on the internet. Well there you go, anonymous! Don't say I never did nothing for ya. But wait, there's actual Matthew Goode news this morning to go along with that! God forbid we be gratuitous for gratuitous sake, of course. Via BD:

"With Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman set to star and brothers Ridley and Tony Scott producing, [Park Chan-Wook's] English language debut, Stoker, is beginning to look like a star-studded event.

Last we heard, Colin Firth was being courted for the lead male role in the film, which follows a teenage girl who must deal with the unexpected appearance of a mysterious uncle while mourning the death of her father. Variety just got word that Matthew Goode is in talks for the part."

Well apparently they're looking to narrow the age difference between 21 year old Mia and her uncle if they're choosing 33 year old Goode over 50 year old Firth. But still, it's funny that they're just picking the other gay from A Single Man for the role, innit?

The age difference is weird, but good for Goode. Excellent project.

Also, I'll remind you that I've met him in person.

What, you have? Why I don't think you've ever told that story before, RJ! ;)

I agree, good for him. He's a good actor that keeps seeming to get lost in the shuffle.

Apparently from script reviews there is some wicked sexual tension between Goode's character and Kidman's.

This will be very interesting...
