§ Okay here’s some non beefcake related news the 2008 comic book movie slate is shaping up to be pretty strong:: I spent four months on a massage table after shooting.” Sniff, sniff. I have no wish to do so for a while either. He also reveals: “I haven’t been in a gym since we stopped. But it was a lot of fun, especially the early days, when we were all pretty s*** at it. “That went on for months and we’d be doing it between shots, too. There was a lot of bodybuilding and a more aerobic side with swords and spears. He said: “I was training before the movie started with two different guys. It has been touted as the most violent film ever and Gerard trained for months to master the fight styles and weapons. “I damaged my shoulders from overdoing it and I suffered from chafing – my thighs were too big. Gerard said: “I pulled my groin then got drop foot -my foot was flopping around for six days. § And speaking of working out, dear, dear Gerard Butler (seen at the top of the page) details the hazards he endured getting into loin-cloth worthy shape for 300: a groin pull and chafed thighs. Cage’s muscular physical appearance was so extreme producers had to quash speculation Cage’s muscles were not natural, but the result of special effects. While the film crew set up new shots, Cage would slip away and torture his body with a ‘high aerobic impact’ workout. When filming began in Melbourne the 43 year old Oscar winner used down time on set to keep up the regime. A year before Cage arrived in Australia he endured five hour a day gym sessions to reshape his body. Cage desired a rock hard body, bulging biceps and cut abdominal muscles to play the comic’s hero, motorcycle stunt superstar Johnny Blaze. Take Nicolas Cage, the stars of the new Marvel comic adaptation of Ghost Rider. § Speaking of buff, Nicolas Cage got so cut people thought he was juicin! But if it was Wally I would definitely be curious. Shawn Levy is taking it over and they may decide that Barry Allen is the one that they want in there, an older version of the Flash, and that is something that I wouldn’t be interested in playing. I don’t know where the direction of the Flash is going to go from here though. So, I certainly know of Wally and have read all the comic books and I’d love to jump in there and play him. Now that David Goyer’s left ‘The Flash’ project does that mean you’re off the project as well? Um, you know I was never officially on the project so…it’s just something that most of the fan boys have felt like there’s a strong similarity between Ryan Reynolds and Wally West. § This is a bit old, but we’ll take any excuse to post a picture of Ryan Reynolds who explains he still feels an affinity for The Flash: That’s my hope for what the movie could be. I think that what Alan in his book, the comment he’s made about authority and government and all those things, maybe if you make that movie right what that has to say makes people think about what’s happening maybe now or in their own lives. Then the movie is asking me, “oh Zack, what do you think of the war on terror? What’s your take on it?” Who gives a f**k about what I think about the war on terror? That’s not why people go to the movies. But, if you set the movie in modern times, you’re basically saying it’s the war on terror right is the thing. It allows all the metaphors to sort of erect. I think by setting it 1985, by having the Cold War, having Nixon, having all that stuff, you sort of reinvigorate what the story is about. There has been a push I think on the other scripts that exist about trying to update the movie or trying to make it take place in present day and things of that nature. I think what happened in the past was that when you’re only five years away from 1985, it’s a weird time to make a period piece that took place three years ago, but studios don’t get that. I set the movie in 1985 and I have the luxury of being far enough away from 1985 so that that is a viable idea. § At the 300 junket, Zack Snyder (above, in white shirt) gives a WATCHMEN update.
