WTC & Charlie Rose
I have this idea that Oliver Stone, Nic Cage and Michael Pena will be a good group on The Charlie Rose Show this evening. I'm seeing World Trade Center a second time for good measure this evening.
Whither "Kings"?<< previous

There's got to be a Mel angle in here. Did Stone ever consider Mel for newly bewigged Nick's part?

How about changing the name of the site to Melibu Elsewhere. You know, Mel owns Malibu.

My local JERK OFF PBS station isn't going to air
Charlie Rose tonight. Could somebody give me a
breakdown of what was said? Thanks!

According to imdb WTC trivia...
"Mel Gibson was a hot favorite for the role of Sgt. John McLoughlin. Screenwriter Andrea Berloff had Gibson in mind while penning the screenplay. McLoughlin, a longtime fan of Gibson, enthusiastically gave his approval. And due to his commercially appealing name, Paramount Pictures was very interested in casting him in the part. Although Gibson liked the script very much, he turned it down in order to direct Apocalypto (2006)."

Shiver me timbers, did Stone confirm IMDB trivia? The trivia worked in Elizabeth Snead's piece, but here's a version I think is true from
http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/movie-guide-20069.htm
Stone cast Cage based on a conversation he had with the real McLoughlin on who should play him. Other names that were tossed around were George Clooney, Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford, and Mel Gibson.

hahaha....hilariously daring casting choices!
He is much closer in appearance to Giamatti than anyone on that list!

Watched Charlie Rose.
Cage looks like he went to Tom Hanks' barber, but the barber was a bit tipsy that day.
Looks like Cage got a bit of work done on his face too. I think he's going back home to Madame Tousseau's place after the press junket.

sMell goes to a church that denies the holocaust and all his friends are cops. Cage looks like a drag queen.
