I Am Link

.

--- Apple Maker - The Piemaker has a new TV show! Lee Pace is set to star in a pilot for AMC from the executive producer of Breaking Bad - it's called Halt & Catch Fire, and it's about the dawn of personal computing in 1980's Dallas. Sounds like Lee's playing a Steve Jobs type. 1980s Dallas - I am worried about Lee's hair-do already.

--- Candy Man - Our weird Zero Dark Thirty crush object Jason Clarke has a new role lined up - he'll co-star with Chris Hemsworth in the new movie from the director of Syriana called Candy Store. I think I posted about this movie before but I'm totally not looking it up right now. That link has the deets!

--- Go Go Goblin - The wonderful Chris Cooper has joined the cast of the second Amazing Spider-Man movie as Nomran Osborne, aka the Green Goblin, aka that part that Willem Dafoe did in the Sam Raimi movies. Chronicle's Dane DeHaan was cast as his son Harry (aka the James Franco part) awhile back.

--- Speaking of, Slash has a few new pictures from the currently-filming set of Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield is looking typically geek-adorable. Love his giant tufting head of hair!

--- Teevee Psycho - TV Line got some more out of Ryan Murphy about the character that Kathy Bates will play in the third season of American Horror Story - he says that she's super excited to play it because the character is "five times worse" than her character was in Misery (remember - her character in Misery was a child murderer, besides other things) and that it's all based on something that actually happened.

--- Smash Solo - Joss Whedon is touring with his Shakespeare movie and answering people's questions about The Avngers 2 as he goes - here's him talking about what's ahead for the Hulk, and the possibilities of a stand-alone film for the big green fella.

--- Fatigue Fatigued - Tom Hardy is going to play a soldier returning from Afghanistan with PTSD - I was going to say something about how the last time he played a soldier he wagged his dick around much to all of our delight, then I noticed that this movie will actually be the feature-debut from the director of that same short film where Tom wagged his dick around to our delight! So let's hope for more of that, then.

--- Last Picture Show - What are your ten favorite movies from the 1970s? I'm so bad at listing these sorts of things - brain overload. So much good Woody Allen! So much good horror! Nathaniel's put forth the query over at The Film Experience and the answers he's getting are smashing.

--- Fine Dining - Have you seen these promo shots of the cast of Bryan Fuller's Hannibal yet? Mads and Hugh and Caroline Dhavernas and Laurence Fishburne and even Scott Thompson are all in the house! We've only got a few weeks until the show premieres on April 4th - I trust we've all set up our cannibal-themed viewing parties?

--- Super Buzz - Alhough it's all coming from people intimately associated with the flick - executives and family members of the cast and crew - the buzz out of an early screening for those folks of Zach Snyder's Superman flick Man of Steel is very very good, which gets me excited even though I ought to know better. No bulge reports yet.
