The D Train


It seems that James Marsden has signed up to do another comedy (sigh) - this time, with Jack Black, whose production team has an idea about a man trying to get the most popular guy in high school to come back for a reunion.
The actor has not made it as a career, and has wound up doing commercials.

Sounds interesting. but why does Jack Black have a production team, and James is still floating around there as an actor and nothing else?

Just wondering.
I'm going to keep up the pressure, as if it would do any good.

Oh, Jeez.

I just read that this thing is going to be a "low budgert indie."

I think my head will explode

You know I am actually excited for his upcoming films. He's at least getting bigger roles and main character plus he gets to be the one with the girl. Last year he was starting to move up again with bigger movies with smaller roles but now he gets bigger roles.

Also in an article where he talked about some of his upcoming films he mentioned another one that isn't listed on IMDB. I dont know how big his role is in this one but its with Vince Vaughn in Business Trip.

Of course I still would love to see more of him and yes I love his voice and would love the opportunity to hear more of it but it's his life his career and if he's doing what makes him happy and if its doing comedy than so be it.

He is still my favorite actor and will be whether he hits it big or not. I enjoy him and he seems like a great guy too and not so caught up in being in the spotlight so that makes me respect him more as a person. He seems to make people laugh on and off set. He's talented and having fun with his career and life with a positive and outgoing attitude.

Keep up the great work James! Love watching you in your films and yes I absolutely love hearing you sing and play guitar too.

Anything that James Marsden plans to do is exciting to me, also - he could be cutting the ribbon for the opening of a supermarket and it would be great for me. Well… almost. You know what I think would be a great tie-in? For him to do some commercial himself, and have it appear around the time the film was coming out. I understand he sang for a fragrance that Cameron Diaz was selling. Something like that, but his face as well. I like that idea.

The biggie for this year, I think, will be as Dawson in The Best of Me. The popularity of The Notebook should spark a great deal of interest in TBOM - particularly (and that's a proviso) if they promote it and distribute it properly. Who's producing it? distributing it? I read that SONY is doing badly; I hope it's not SONY. They did a terrible job with Straw Dogs.
Paramount, Warner Brothers, Fox: any one of those, or some other company, which is a viable, going concern and knows how to really get a movie out there.

Some of Marsden's films have been blips. As Cool as I Am never made it to a theater around here. Endangered will come out next month as a DVD only. The Bachelorette was clobbered by posters in the IMDb boards - and by the way - I never saw it listed in any local theater, either. The Robot and Frank did come here but didn't last long. That one should have been more popular. I sort of understand why many people hated The Bachlorette - they simply didn't get it - the humor, the truthfulness of it - anything. But Robot and Frank was a thoroughly enjoyable film. Langella and Sarandon didn't deserve the bad treatment it got, either.

Walk of Shame's poster is finally posted on IMDb. That's a start for that one, anyway. It should be popular. Banks is a good actor and I think thee will be good chemistry between her and Marsden.

Business Trip? I've even seen a still taken in Germany where he and Vaughn and the Franco are walking or something.
I don't know why he isn't listed in the credits. I've even looked at the extended list of the cast - and - nil.

He's still my favorite actor, too; but I've taken on the role of being his "nudge." That's New York slang for nag. "Eat your broccoli; wear a scarf, it's cold out; what time are you coming home?"

Keep up the good work - I echo that - and never stop improving and learning and taking more chances that are intelligent and truly worth while.

And I agree with fun-in-the-sun. Sing, sing, sing. I love your voice; its gorgeous.
But record, already. Do an album, a video. Sing more than the phrase you sang in "Hop."
"All I want is your can-dee!"
I played that small segment over and over.

Endangered is coming to DVD next month!? Thats really too bad. I was really looking forward to it coming out to theaters and I know others were too. It would have been great, people loved the Edge.
