    The Perry Bible Fellowship deserves every last good thing that's said about it, and much more.

    HOF material, and 175% awesome. #theperrybiblefellowship

    I say we just get those two twins from "Big Daddy" and "the Suite Life" to play the role. Make that shit artsy as hell. Surely it wouldn't ruin the movie. Surely. #johncusack

    Uh... Way too old.

    Even though Steve Dillion's art makes everyone look the same age and all, Jesse Custard is supposed to be no older than 30. #johncusack

    I like most of Cusak's work, but really can't see him as Jesse Custer. For one thing, his perpetually babyish face aside, he's **way** too old to play Custer.

    You know who I could see him as, if he's willing to shave his head and if he can do a convincing accent? Herr Starr. But Custer? No thanks. #johncusack

    This would have made an intense maxi-series on HBO or Showtime.

    In reply to Warren Ellis Weirded Out By Helen Mirren's "Red" Casting, Plus John C. Reilly and Mary Louise Parker Join the Cast
    I think he is just tripped out that one of his projects is being headed by three A-List Hollywood stars.

    Ellis is relatively successful but I'm sure he sees this as a big step forward. And big steps are trippy.

    Hence, the "so weird." #red

    What's SO WEIRD? They're all capable actors and box office draws. I'd love to have Helen Mirren....in a film adaptation of something I wrote. #red

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: Very few film adaptations cast the people the author imagined when he was writing. Dan Brown imagined Harrison Ford as Robert Langdon, he even describes him as "Harrison Ford in a tweed jacket" or something like that. Ron Howard cast Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a great actor but he is a far from Harrison Ford as I am from the Grand Canyon. Warren Ellis is an excellent writer. He should know that describing something as "So Weird" doesn't actually convey any information. There are probably a dozen different interpretations of what he meant in the minds of just those people who read this particular post. #red

    @Presidentpez: If you get the chance read the original book written by Brian Garfield. Where the movie plays for laughs, the book is deadly serious. The basic plot idea is so good it works either way, although I think the book is far better.

    As for me I'm going to watch some episodes of James Munro's 'Callan' (with Edward Woodward') to get in the mood for 'Red'. #red

    I can't believe this is being made into a movie. The art is great, but the story in red is so bad. Also Helen Mirren is one doable old chick.
