It had to happen. When the
Fantastic Four reboot was announced two weeks ago the first name on everyone's list for Doctor Doom was the soon to be Oscar nominated, 52 year old,
Inglourious Basterds break-out actor
Christoph Waltz. His name has been branded around with every villain part going in Hollywood for the past month and it's my guess he is about to go through a
Lee Van Cleef late career path of movies based around him, and we shouldn't blame him for it. He's waited decades for a big break appearing in so many low grade movies, he saw his chance to work with Quentin and make something of himself and that's precisely what he did. An amazing performance.
The Green Hornet has come calling for Waltz.
Seth Rogen probably made him laugh and
Michel Gondry restored his faith in the picture's creativity, and Waltz knew this movie was for him.
Nikki Finke claims that Waltz will replace
Nicolas Cage as the main villain Chudnofsky. Cage dropped out last week and never did seem to be overly keen on the picture. And boy did these guys trade up going from Cage to Waltz, something that could only happen at this point in time, as when Rogen cast Cage, he probably won't even have known of Waltz. And neither did we... but we most definitely do know. Those out there hating on
The Green Hornet on this site... where's your opinion lie now?
