Comic Book casting abound! RE: BATMAN BEGINS and FANTASTIC FOUR!!!

Ahoy, squirts. Quint here with some interesting little tidbits. One is locked down (that's the BATMAN BEGINS one) and is in the final stages (Thing). I'll step aside now and let the scoopers tell ya' the news!

Hiya Harry, call me Boria,

Anyway, my mate's on Batman and informs me that Tim Booth, the lead singer of Brit band James, is playing a baddie...

Thought you might like to know as I've only seen one mention of this on the web and it was unconfirmed glimpse of his name on a trailer, whereas I know for a fact he's at St Pancras Chambers in London this week, shooting...

Being the music illiterate that I am, I have no real feeling on this casting. I'm happy if you're happy! Now on to the possible face of one Mr. Benjamin Grimm...

Have sent you some info in the past. Read your post today on Fantastic Four and agree Marvel is out to lunch on the preparation on this film. My assistant at my production company is dating Bob "The Beast" Sapp, the K-1 fighter/gigantic human being, who arrived in L.A. yesterday for screen tests for the part of Ben Grimm. He has been told he is one of two final candidates. Thought you might be interested.

You can find stuff all over the web about this guy (go here for a pic and his stats!)... He sure is a hulking, intimidating figure... but does this mean that they're going to hire two actors to play Mr. Yancy Street? One pre-accident and one post? Or are they changing up his ethnicity? Hrmm... Your thoughts?
