Well, the article said Penn is hesitating because he is buddies with Jack Nicholson and doesn't want to redo his role.

For the Busey fans above, he is apparently on the Celebrity Fitness Club 2 starting soon on VH1. Should be an amusing train wreck.

Celebrity Fit Club is back for a second season as a one-hour reality show in which eight overweight celebrities compete in two teams of four to lose weight. In each episode the celebrities attend 'Fit Camp' where they take part in a range of physical and motivational activities designed to shed the pounds, increase team spirit and rivalry, and win prizes.

My favorite quote from that page: Phil has used his notoriety from reality shows to his advantage parlaying it into a movie career. He starred as "Fat guy with Watermelon" in Haggard in 2002 |

Sean Penn as the Joker.
FUCK NO. SAY IT AIN'T FUCKING SO.
He is a one-note actor. I'd rather see the Matt Damon puppet from Team America play the fucking Joker.

Actually, I believe just about all those characters are alike. Guy with angry chip on his shoulder. About the only one that isn't is Spicoli from Fast Times.

Penn's a good actor, but nothing about him even remotely reminds me of the Joker. Voice, look, mannerisms - it doesn't work for me. Plus, I don't think Penn is allowed to take any roles that don't include at least 15 minutes of anguished bawling any more.

Umm..Sweet & Lowdown too? Before Night Falls -- He's a "Happy" Cuban Farmer in that. Carlito's Way -- Alan Dershowitz on Crack I wouldn't really want to see him as the Joker either, but geez... edit: OK, granted, he's got a chip on his shoulder in Sweet & Lowdown and Carlito's Way as well, but there's still a big difference in how he goes about it. He doesn't play the "guy with a chip on his shoulder" quite the same everytime either. I mean, not every character is a rehash of "Pacman". |

Bah he's been downhill since Fast Times. And that was reprising a role anyone of my high school buds could have performed.

Just saw this movie, I LOVED IT. Honestly I was surprised, this is the first movie in many years that gave me joygasms while watching. After watching the previews I was "meh," but my brother who is heading to Iraq insisted on going to see it (I wanted Land of the Dead). This willl be the first time I have decided to see a movie twice in a decade --- A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just read on AICN that Sean Penn is being courted for the Joker. If nothing else it gives us an idea of what kind of performance they are going for A turd packed shitpile of one? Sean Penn as the Joker kills the movie. He's a shitty one trick pony as noted previously. There is nothing about Sean Penn that is The Joker, and he lacks even the basic acting abilities that would allow him to transcend playing some small variation of himself. assuming they are thinking of intense Penn and not Fast Times Penn
There is no "intense" Sean Penn. Jesus fucking christ, I really wish they'd stop putting the same fucking retarded, shitpile hacks in these guaranteed blockbuster rolls. The fucking movie goes on to mak a jillion dollars and every bitch in the industry thinks it's the "star's" "draw". The simple fact is, most of these rolls you could stick a CG enhanced CINDERBLOCK in and it would draw the same money. Attention shitfags, people will go see War of the Worlds because of a combination of cool special effects and there being nothing new out to see while on vacation. It has absolutely nothing to do with Spielberg, and especially has nothing to do Tom Cruise. God, another titanic Hackberg production about an evil, faceless totalitarian regime wiping out a population only to be defeated by clean living. Fucking assholes. Make a War of the Worlds remake, except have the martians invent crazy high tech shit like respirators or vaccines, and they win. Then explore what they would do with the earth afterwards. That would be a good movie. Unlike the mindless ID ripoff shitfest that got made. you all suck for seeing it. Whores. |

Stray, Sean Penn really really sucks ass. I mean badly. Terribly fucking badly.
I can't for the life of me figure out why you're defending him. He's an overrated hack of the highest order.
And must be stopped.
Edit: As for the rest of what Bob said, while I might like to see his mythical movie, calling Spielberg a pet name like "Hackberg" is somewhere I wouldn't even be willing to go.

Eh, I just think that angry bob was just being a little too "angry" there. Even by his own standards.
Or maybe it's that I've been gone awhile....I haven't quite settled into "teh hate" just yet.

You are totally out of touch with reality. Your average person goes "Ooo. Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg. It has to be good." God, another titanic Hackberg production about an evil, faceless totalitarian regime wiping out a population only to be defeated by clean living. Fucking assholes.

You know. There's this novel by a man named H.G. Wells. It's about a martian invasion and it's called War of the Worlds. Oh, and they are killed by diseases. Funny that... |

Actually I just went "Hm, Spielberg eh? Well, it'll have good production values. Worth seeing."
Cruise didn't do anything to help.

If you're answering my post, please notice I said "your average person". I am not sure anyone that posts here qualifies. |

I really really wanted to see a War of the Worlds authentic to the book... I mean long before this version was announced, I wanted to see Martians fighting Victorian England. But noooo, they have to move it to modern times...

If only the first League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie hadn't sucked so badly. The second installment of the graphic novel had exactly that (the League vs. the Martians). And it was neat. |

Yeah. The film sticks rigidly to the novel, except for the fact that Freddy defeats the martians at the end by replying to 'Ulla' with a rousing chorus of 'We Are The Champions.'
I've heard it's going to be really moving.
