Who is really playing Stryker? Who is really playing Silver Fox?
Third time's a charm for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. JoBlo have learned that 30 DAYS OF NIGHT actor Danny Huston has been cast as Stryker in the currently filming Hugh Jackman-led prequel to the X-MEN series. We've previously heard the names of Liev Schreiber (he is actually playing Sabertooth) and Michael C. Hall but it looks like Huston is the man, I really like this casting...
Look at that image above. Huston is THE MAN for this role. He's got that slimy, sneaky side to him even when he is trying to smile. He has that Brian Cox villainy about him. They could have not picked anyone else that was more right for the role, barring sending Brian Cox back in a time machine. So who is playing Silver Fox? Apparently it's not going to be Maggie Q and Michelle Monaghan who were both offered the part. Instead it's going to be Lynn Collins, 27 year old Texan born actress who is most memorable to me as being that suicide blonde victim in THE NUMBER 23, a movie that Huston was also great in. She also had small roles in THE LAKE HOUSE, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE and 50 FIRST DATES. Without doubt, this is her biggest role to date for this unknown actress...
We got a note from someone who was on set this week while they shot test footage of an actor in a huge rubber suit for The Blob. The interesting part is that they made the suit to look like The Blob was about 800lbs, but producers want to make him bigger, something like 1200lbs. I did some research (as I am not too familiar with The Blob's history) and I found that he was around 500lbs. originally.source - coming soon
