After already reaping notice for his performance in “Her,” Joaquin Phoenix could be working with Warner Bros. again on the studio’s biggest property.
Sources tell Variety that the studio wants the Oscar-nominated actor for a role in the upcoming untitled Batman-Superman pic. However, it’s very early in the process and even if Warners offers Phoenix a role, it’s not clear he would accept as the actor has steered clear of big-budget pics in the past few years, leaning towards movies with a more prestige feel.
Phoenix is also weighing an offer on the Gus Van Sant pic “Sea of Trees” and is believed to still be considering that offer as well.
WB and the actor’s reps had no comment.
Though sources couldn’t confirm what the role is, it’s believed to be for the main antagonist, which is likely to be Lex Luthor. Names like Jason Momoa and Callan Mulvey have been linked to the film but even if those actors are cast, sources are saying that they wouldn’t play the main villain, and that Warners has always wanted someone who would be a slam dunk in the role.
The pic, which opens July 17, 2015, stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Amy Adams with Zack Snyder returning as director.
Phoenix, who is repped by WME, stars in “Her” which bows Wednesday.
Conjuring is ok... was really overhyped. Sinister was pretty decent. the original Evil Dead trilogy are some of the best movies ever The Evil Dead remake was pretty good too the original Exorcist is awesome Paranormal Activity 3 was ok The Last Exorcism was decent Dawn of the Dead rules
The conjuring was one of few new movies I found to be good in horror. There were two parts that were a little dumb but other than that I loved it. It wasn't scary to me but the visuals and the pacing of trying to scare was perfect it never followed a pattern.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
the only thing i found lame in that movie was when those hands clapped behind that woman. it was a good jump scare but it was kinda ridiculous to use a regular persons hands with no make up on them or anything. i mean they were going for a ghost movie so they should've done something to those arms and hands to make them look horrifying.
