Found that really good. The performances by Sheen and Langella made the movie.

While they are both excellent actors, I'm particularly interested in seeing Langella as Nixon. I don't "see" Nixon when I think of Langella but I'm sure that he "disappears" into the part, as excellent actors often do

Yeah, those are great. I guess I'm thinking about how often people take classics like Shakespeare or Dickens and botch it or try to modernize it which often butchers it.

Oh yeah, he truly becomes Nixon. The interview scenes between the two are just phenomenal (particularly the last one) and really make the movie.

Yeah, I'll never forget Nixon giving him those ugly shoes at the end. It was just like National Lampoons Vacation!

Haha, yeah. I can see why you would say it was slow. Really did take a while to get rolling at the beginning.

I can't watch Langella without thinking of his old tuna can flopping around whilst dodging Jeremy Irons' inaccurate gunfire in Lolita.

He's amazing. I'd love to see him as an evil Sith or Jedi in one of the new Star Wars movies. I think he'd own, big time.

Speaking of space operas, have you heard any scuttlebutt about the possibility of a Mass Effect movie actually getting made? I know that WB optioned it at one point, but I've never heard anything about a script actually getting hammered out.

All I've heard is that it's still in development and they've gone through several screenwriters and versions to get it "right".

I'll be sure to relay if I hear anything further.

There hadn't been a word about it for a while, but Casey Hudson did make a couple of comments about it in March at PAX east. http://www.vg247.com/2013/03/25/mass...l-says-hudson/

That's the last thing I heard. I don't think it's in development hell or anything though.

Gracias.

I still think it'd be the quintessential Cable Boutique TV series, but I'd settle for a film adaptation.

I remember when they tossed around Matthew Fox's name as Shepard, but I'd think his star has faded a touch since then.

2002 Matt Damon would have been a great fit. Can't think of a good fit now.

Edit: More conventional choices may be Sam Worthington or Tom Hardy.

I'd beat you. I've never seen it either and my hate for it is absolute.

Really? I thought it was fairly original and despite it being a film centered on the CIA, distanced itself from the Bourne style action that so many have grown accustomed to.

Additionally, Mark Strong was awesome (as usual) so, there's that as well.
