    I never thought about it before, but Josh Brolin does look like a younger Tommy Lee Jones.

    Regarding Noomi Rapace's English- She speaks English just fine. She's not being asked to compose & give the commencement speech at Oxford, She just needs to learn her lines off a page & act. Screw Alien - I want her in The Dark Knight Rises anyway.

    Her English is perfectly fine. She speaks it with a slight Swedish accent that is actually kind of nice. She does not sound at all like the Swedish chef on the mMuppets.

  • Stephen King's Dark Tower series is being turned into a movie trilogy? Why only a trilogy? Why not go for broke and aim for seven? ... I hope this is preceded by the re-make of the 1979 Salem's Lot. C'mon, we are in the midst of both vampire and remake frenzy. How is a new script of Salem's Lot not currently in pre-production?

    • Actually, unless the thought has changed, it is going to be a mixture of movie and television series.

    Such a stupid article. Her English is fine - and who says the heroine of the Alien prequel has to be American?

    "...they are floating an excuse that Salander's English might not be up to par for the role."

    Um, do you realize her name isn't actually Salander?
