What's next for Gerard Butler?
Collider about the various projects he has on the go, Butler talks about WATCHMEN:-
"You know, Ill tell you, I dont know. Zacks crazy. So am I. So its funny cause... thats a man I owe sitting here to, yeah I was a big part of 300, but thats Zacks movie. Its his genius that made 300 what it was, it was a great marriage between the two of us. I was in a great positionI wouldve loved to jump into WATCHMEN and done something, but I had plenty to be doing on my own as well. Ive done the graphic novel film so for me not to go on and do another one is fine, but I would love to work with Zack again but that role has been on and off and on and off and the funny thing is we havent even talked about it, but I keep hearing rumors that, Zacks going to give you a call. I know hes busy, one minute the role was cut cause of budget and then it was back in and then it was cutso I keep hearing, hes going to call you oh, maybe not. But my stunt man who is on my film the one in New Mexico - just went up to there and he texted me and said, Zacks giving you a call cause he wants you to do that role. So I have no idea. I think, right now, they are so caught up with the main body of the film that I guess they probably dont know if theyre going to do that or not. But if my schedule permits, I dont finish my film until the end of January, and I think theyll still be going... if its around Id love to go up there. It would be really cool to get back on a set with Zack."About facing off against Hugh Jackman in WOLVERINE (Butler is rumoured to be playing Sabretooth):-
"I havent even met on it. I havent spoken to anybody and I havent seen a script. And I think Im working when its going on. So its not "Listen, Id be interested in anything up to I read a script."And the aforementioned Connery replacement role, in Brian De Palma's UNTOUCHABLES prequel:-
"Yeah, I was signed up to do it but now its a little bit on the backburner at the moment trying to get everything together, financingwhat do you call it Capone. Its like a lot of things, you get involved with them and it takes a little longer, you know."Head on over to Collider to see the whole interview, including talk of his role in THE GAME.
