Anything that combines Tennant, Simon Pegg, and grave-robbing has my vote. WIN
(I'm still really hoping he gets the role for the Riddler in Batman though, because come on, is there any one you can think of who'd make a more awesome Riddler?)

Things have gone very quiet on the Batman front, apart from the usual silly paper rumours about casting etc. But yeah, Tennant deserves to go from strength to strength, I'd say; I wish him well.

That sounds like an interesting movie, especially if Landis is on his game. I think Simon Pegg and DT would be a good buddy pair, with lots of comedic potential. (Funny graverobbers work . . . Young Frankenstein proved that.) Since the characters are Scottish DT would be able to use his normal accent, which makes me happy. I think he is at his best when he is using his normal voice.
I also would love to see him play the Riddler. I think he could make that role more maniacally menacing than it has ever been played before.

There is no stopping the boy Tennant, it seems: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8339796.stmI don't know, smacks of cancelled-after-twelve-episodes to me, but I would have said the same thing about "House" when it first started... |

As I've said elsewhere, trying to imagine DT faking an American accent is making my head hurt lots.

As an aside for our transatlantic members, how good a job does Hugh Laurie do in "House"? Sounds all right to me, but then I'm a Brit. I don't even watch that show, but I continue to be amazed by it whenever I see it, because, well, in real life he doesn't sound dissimilar to Bertie Wooster or his characters in Blackadder. I mean, actors do accents (Tennant, for instance), but Laurie's always had a certain sort of persona, and then all of a sudden...

You know how James Marsters does that accent as Spike, and you have no clue that he's actually American until you see him out of character, and then you're like WHUT? Well, Hugh Laurie is the U.K.'s answer to James Marsters.
I had absolutely no idea he was British until I saw him in some weird 80s flick, and then I was convinced he was faking it, because his accent powers are so stupendous.
Except he isn't.
And that blows my mind just a little bit (a lot)

As an aside for our transatlantic members, how good a job does Hugh Laurie do in "House"? Hugh Laurie's accent is so good that when I tell people that he is a Brit they think I'm wrong. Then on the other end of the spectrum we have some of the accents in True Blood. I also have my doubts about the premise of the show having much longevity, and have trouble imagining DT doing an American accent, even though he is good at accents. Of course it is not outside the realm of possibility that he won't be a native-born citizen of Chicago. |
