Can't afford Halle Berry? Get Zoe Saldana

Hollywood pays for looks, talent and profile, so Oscar winner Halle Berry has always been a prime choice for casting directors. However, rising starlet Zoe Saldana - who shares Berry's stunningly sexy looks and wide appeal as a fanboy favourite (matching Berry's X-Men with her upcoming role in Star Trek) - could very soon be taking the roles from under Berry's nose.

Kidman/Watts
Nicole Kidman is certainly a beautiful woman, but I'd take Naomi Watts over her for my movie any day, even at the same price. She certainly isn't Nicole's backup. ... Read More

Bale is Britains best actor at this point though. And Zoe Saladan is nowhere near as hot as Halle. ... Read More

I didn't like this article. I think Russell is Russell and Gerard is Gerard. For me both are good actors with theirs personalities. I have knew Gerard Butler and the more I know about him the more I like. He is not the best actor of the world neither Russell. Every one is every one. We don't have to compare people, is not polite in my opinion. Thanks. Marisa, from Brazil. ... Read More

What are you waiting for?
You guys at Empire should be waving such suggestions in the faces of the directors and film makers that you interview. Not only would it put some of these people on the map, it could theoretically make for better movies. The money they save on the casting, could be used to produce better sets or more compelling stories. ... Read More

Another good way to save money in these 'hard' times is to recycle. Good to see /b] doing their bit by essentially recycling their old 'If Wet...' feature. And I prefer ilippsHeigl. And she's got the better name JEDI BOBSTER ... Read More

Naomi Watts...
She's actually English dispite the Aussie accent having been born and raised in the UK and only moving down under at 13 and then knowing what was good for her moving out in her early 20's. Johnny Depp/Skeet Ulrich was very much the obvious pick but guess Brands the man of the moment... ... Read More

Clark Duke is shaping up as the best contender to Rogen's crown. He's Michael Cera's Vlogging partner (Clark & Michael), one of the surprises of Sex Drive, and I'm hoping his appearance in Kick Ass will be as good. One to watch... ... Read More

Brand in Pirates?
That would only be acceptable if he appeared in the opening scene and was immediatly made to dance a gallows jig for piracy (without having the chance to say a word), and Sparrow spent the entire film trying to find the guy who hung him and buy him a rum as a thank you for killing the annoying twat. ... Read More

Hmm.
You know, I heard through the grapevine that Russel Brand was actually being cast for Pirates, but as Cap'n Jack Sparrow's brother. Personally, I think it's brilliant, but the fact that Zac Efron is now playing Will Turner cancels it out. I guess I'll just have to bring a barf bag with me to see the movie. And possibly a stun gun to settle the screaming Zac Efron fan girls. ... Read More
