It's just a rather large typo.

Yes, I suppose he will be the star of the show, but for some of us, the opportunity to see Peta Wilson of La Femme Nikita all vamped out is definitely something to look forward to!
Duplicate the commercial success of Mysterymen? (Score:3, Funny)
No one is going to see this movie.
I might, some of my friends definitely will, and some other slashdotters, but this movie is going to bomb. I want to know how a group of people can make decisions which are, at the same time, totally driven by greed and, at the same time, so obviously directed towards utter commercial failure.

> What is with the sudden onslaught of superhero movies?
Yep, ever since Superman came out.
In 1978.
That's about the time special effects were making large leaps forward (no pun intended) and it was finally possible to make a realistic-looking flying man. The Superman tagline was "You'll believe a man can fly".
Now we are seeing the results of a new generation of low-cost, high-power computers, which make realistic effect cheaper and cheaper.
Superhero movies are a necessary result of Moore's Law.

This will be impossible for the generation which follows us. I guess that means no blockbusters with Tom Clancy's characters turned loose to fight Mr. Bean on Jurassic park with Crockett and Tubbs.
One step closer to Watchmen (Score:5, Funny)
I think Pharmboy is totally correct in his assessment of "trying times," which closely parallells Adrian Veidt's thoughts near the 11th hour of Watchmen.
. . . and I know a pretty good actor who will work for scale if you'll let him be in the movie.

Borg: Resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours.
Vorlons: No.

Actually, the Vorlons inability to provide a straight answer would make for a VERY short confrontation. Remember when Data came up with an endless loop/unsolvable math problem to disable the Borg? (I think it was something like 10 PRINT "Hello" 20 GOTO 10 or What's the value of Pi? or something like that.) Imagine what would happen if the Borg tried to understand what the Vorlons are saying...
