It only makes sense-Blessed has been in just about every one of Branagh's movies, why wouldn't he use him here. Now all we have to do is get Danny Trejo for Hogun the Grim, Branagh himself for Fandral the Dashing (come on, you know his big bloated ego won't let him stay behind the camera on this one), and the guy who voiced Beast on the old Fox X-Men cartoon as Volstagg, and we're good to go. I just hope someone reins Branagh in on his rapid-fire dalogue way of directing, otherwise this movie could be a little off-putting to John and jane Q. Public. Also, love the picture. Why doesn't someone make that into a poster? Or better yet, as a box of Christmas cards? So, did I call this one early or did I call this one early?
