I hope by the grace of Athena these are rumors. The UK mag rag, The Sun, claims that Eddie Murphy will be the Riddler and Shia LaBouf will play Robin.
The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47, has been signed up by British director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN to reprise the role played by JIM CARREY in 1995’s Batman Forever. The film, set for a 2010 release, is being developed under the working title Gotham. Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin. CHRISTIAN BALE will return as Bruce Wayne, while MICHAEL CAINE will again play Bruce’s assistant Alfred. A film insider said: “Chris wasn’t sure if he wanted to do another movie but as soon as he decided to, he got the wheels in motion.
“Eddie’s a fantastic addition. Everyone’s excited to see what he does as the Riddler.”
No! This is madness! I know this is just a prank or someone's been in the liquor and LSD drawer again. But the folks at The Sun are sticking to their story. I hope someone clear this up soon.
Besides, Shia would make a horrible Robin.
no, No, NOOOOO SHIA.
ReplyDeleteThe worst choice for any movie, period.
Oh, I don't know. I think Murphy could play a great Riddler and LaBoeuf would make a handsome Robin. Shia in green tights...mmmmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteShia is adorable, but not for the boy wonder.
ReplyDeleteMurphy. HELL. NO.
It's The Sun, I wouldn't believe a word of it. That said, everyone said "Hell no" for Heath Ledger as The Joker. I have complete faith in Nolan.
