When did I first realize that Generation-X nostalgia was a driving the entertainment industry off a cliff? First all the toys I'd broken were suddenly on the big screen, thrashing each other and cursing loudly.

Casting notices just went up for a fan-made movie about Megaman, the Japanese videogame character. Director Eddie Lebron (who's already made a Ghostbusters fan-movie) is willing to pay non-union actors to star in his Megaman epic.

So Rock volunteers to receive a "battle upgrade" and becomes Megaman. Fans seem desperate for a Hollywood Megaman movie, judging from the fan films already online and the fake Vin Diesel poster above. [Free Casting Call] More »
