Fan Casting the Inevitable Wizard of Oz Reboot
In Hollywood today, there is no such thing as an original idea. So, in place of original screenplays and new franchises, studios look to reboot classic and beloved films. What film is more classic and beloved than The Wizard of Oz? I believe that this film could perhaps bring back a sense of nostalgia to an older generation while introducing a whole new generation to one of the greatest films of all time, and there has to be a perfect cast for such a project! So without further ado, here is my cast for a modern group of misfits that are off to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz.

I Love Jack Nicholson and This Is Probably the Best Acceptance Speech Ever!
Jack Nicholson ladies and gentleman. Back in the early 70s, Nicholson starred in two great films for which he received a ‘leading actor in a role’ BAFTA nomination and went on to win it. So at the 1974 BAFTA awards ceremony hosted by the suave and astute David Niven, it was time and with names such as Albert Finney, Gene Hackman and Al Pacino making it into the list of nominees for the best leading actor, it sure was a talented lot.

Watch Mathew Mcconaughey's First Film Audition for Dazed and Confused!
Who can forget Mathew McConaughey's first major on-screen character in Richard Linklater's iconic cult movie Dazed and Confused.

Special mention: That haircut and mustache!

Redefining a Generation: What the MCU Could Look Like Recast
The MCU will always have the accomplishment of creating the largest and most popular connected universe, but one thing it won't always have is the same actors. We've already seen several actors have to be recast, and the truth is, the same actor can't play one character forever. Besides, recasting a universe that is made up of almost nothing but perfect castings is a challenge that not many people have been able to pass, as exemplified by the terrible lists all over the Internet of MCU castings. So, with that being said, I would like to humbly and briefly as possible recast most of the MCU with fitting replacements for the actors currently in the roles, and I hope you enjoy!

Batman vs Superman in Two Parts? It's Probably Fake!
This photo posted on imgur late last night by an iPhone user claims to be a captured footage of the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice teaser trailer. Although my inner feelings for this to be real is very strong, the image has a photoshopped vibe and there's still 1 month left to confirm this 2 part split-up when the official teaser plans to drop along with Jupiter Ascending, in theaters on February 6, 2015.
