An incredibly trusted and wise source of Big Shiny Robot!s has consulted his trusted and wise source at the Marvel/Paramount camp about the recent flurry of casting rumours that have plagued the internet in the last week (yes, we’re guilty, too.)

Here is what our good friend had to say:

According to MY studio guy, the rumors about Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill), Ryan McPartlin (Chuck), Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) and other unknowns/television actors reading for Cap are true.

Apparently, when the script came in with World War II sequences (featuring the Invaders), the studio heads decided it was beyond their means to make this movie AND afford A-listers like Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.

Sure sounds like everyone’s high on McPartlin, who evidently just lost out on the Superman role to Brandon Routh.

As for Spidey, the Logan Lerman rumors are just that … rumors. Apparently Sony is waiting for James Vanderbilt’s script to come in (he’s balking on whether Peter Parker is still in school or just out). And they haven’t even come to terms with director Marc Webb yet.

So it seems as though pretty much all the rumours about Cap have been true, and the rumours regarding Spider-Man have been bunk.

In any case, there’s been a lot of news about Captain America coming out of the floodgates from Joe Johnston as well, and his take on the character, the costume, and the story was actually pretty interesting. He said that the classic Cap costume in the film appears because they use Cap as a USO publicity tool, but Steve has that desire to lead and tries to ditch the costume, but realizes the worth of it when he notices that it’s an effective tool as a symbol of leadership. So he begins to shape the costume into something more akin to the present-day Cap costume. It’s a take on the character and the costume I’ve never heard, but I’m actually pretty in love with.

Also, he says the Red Skull is the villain, which isn’t a huge surprise, but interesting to get a confirmation of nonetheless.

While he was golfing recently, Jensen talked about the season finale and what might happen next on Supernatural:

Well Jensen is rumored to play Leon Kennedy in the 4th installment of Resident Evil. This was just posted at IMDb which is kinda interesting considering how this rumor has been there since 2006 I think!

I guess we just have to wait and see. I love the first two movies because I adore Milla Jovovich. I never saw the ending of the third one though. If Jensen was to be in the 4th movie that would be totally awesome.

Hi everyone!

I apologize for the lack of updates. I planned on adding tons of stuff while I was on vacation but somehow I spent most of my time partying and going out with friends instead.

So what’s new? Jensen will be attending the Asylum 3 Convention next year which is totally awesome. I’m thinking about going. Hope I have enough money to do so.

Also I finally added the caps for the last episode. I know it took me like a month to do so and once again sorry. Enjoy the caps!

Jensen Ackles is in final negotiations to play a lead in Lionsgate’s “My Bloody Valentine 3-D.”

In helmer Patrick Lussier’s remake of the 1981 slasher film, Ackles will play Tom, a handsome, principled man who returns to his home in Harmony, Mo., 10 years after 22 people were murdered on Valentine’s night. Back in Montana, Tom finds he still is smitten with his first love, Sarah (Jaime King), and is now a murder suspect. Zane Smith wrote the screenplay.

Jack Murray, John Dunning and Andre Link will executive produce. Executive producers for Lionsgate are Mike Paseornek and John Sacchi.

Production begins May 12. A Jan. 23 release is planned.

Ackles (the CW’s “Supernatural”) is repped by WMA and Management 360.

According to Tv Guide we might get 4 or 5 more episodes of Supernatural this season!
