Web Slinger



"Jake Gyllenhaal may soon collect an awfully big paycheck as America's latest superhero. We hear New Line execs are keen to have the "Brokeback Mountain" hunk play Captain Marvel in "Shazam!" Based on the DC comic, the movie is New Line's bid for a franchise on the order of "Batman" and "Superman." "They're ready to spend up to $200 million to get it started," an insider tells us. Sources say director Peter Segal and his fellow producers want to nab Gyllenhaal before "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi does - with "Spider-Man 3" due to open on May 4, star Tobey Maguire has said he may let someone else play the web slinger."

And do you imagine what a flash if Jake was casted along Kirsten in Spiderman IV?

I would love to see Jake and Kirsten together in a film but not Spiderman 4.Sounds like a very bad idea for Jake to do this.
I'm not even going to comment on that Captain Marvel thing!!

Very nice blog indeed.

You are welcome to read and comment on my blog:

Synopsis of a new post 9/11 thriller-

Most of the English thrillers have predominately western focus and I am trying to give an Asian perspective, back ground and motivation. Most of the action takes place in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The plot is set in motion by an ambitious, exiled communist hardliner having strong links with Afghan warlords and Pakistani chieftains. Greedy deal makers, antique smugglers and undercover agents complicate the matrix as few innocent lives are changing for ever.

Welcome to Weirdland, tunnelvision! Your two blogs are very interesting, I also think a vision by the other side (Eastern) is due to balance an accurate perspective on post 9/11 global tensions. And good luck with your novel!
