Yeah, not really much to do with the movie, just news on one of the actors.

Gibson Sets Sights On Cage

Tyrese Gibson (Transformers) told SCI FI Wire that it's looking increasingly likely that he will star in a big-screen movie featuring the Marvel Comics hero Luke Cage. If everything goes according to plan, Gibson will play Cage, the first black comic-book superhero, in a film to be directed by John Singleton, who previously directed Gibson in the drama Baby Boy.

"They're doing rewrites on it now, and we actually have a meeting coming up on it soon, from what I hear, just to see where we are with the whole thing," Gibson said in an interview while promoting Transformers. "Right now they're in the process of getting the rewrites done, and then they'll, I guess, do kind of a formal presentation to see if it's going to be a go."

Asked what interests Gibson most about the super-strong and hard-to-hurt Cage character, he replied: "I just love his presence, and I love the fact that he's one of the first black comic-book characters. I'd like to make the comic-book world proud with what I'm looking to do with Luke Cage. So hopefully the opportunity all pans itself out. Me and Singleton are both looking to be a part of it, if the screenplay turns out right. I met with [producer] Avi Arad, and he's very excited about the possibility. But you can't do a great movie without a great script, and the ducks have got to line up." —Ian Spelling
