Once again Marvel has chosen to confirm casting months after strong speculation. But yes, it’s true Tommy Lee Jones will play Colonel Phillips in Captain America: First Avenger. Who knows? The studio is so late on the news, the guy may have already filmed his scenes. Regardless, when you see the movie next summer, count on Jones playing the important role of the man who recruits Steve Rogers to join Project Rebirth, the experimental project that leads to the creation of the Super Soldier. Marvel says the character will be updated for the film, which bows on July 22, 2011.
Jones can next be seen in the Sundance hit The Company Men opposite Ben Affleck and Chris Cooper. The Weinstein Co. is scheduled to release the film sometime this fall.
Magic 8 ball sez : DOA
(If I can just get a good HT figure out of this I'll be happy)
My prediction is that patriotic isn't PC so the film will be some watered down crap but I want a HT Cap so it'll be worth it.
I don't think this will do too well overseas. Chris Evans also isn't a big sell to audiences in general... Matt Damon or Leo DiCaprio could have brought some people out just because of who they are.
Who's the director? What films has he done?
So general consensus on whether you think this movie will be good or not??
The only thing that worries me about the movie is some of the plot stuff we've heard. I'm hoping it I handled well. I don't need the movie to be overly patriotic to be a success. Give me a good WWII movie and I think it will suffice.
