How are we to stomach losing Sir Ben and replacing him with Eric Roberts. Is it me or is the movie becoming over kill with the casting choices? I was on board with everyone he was announcing. Couldn't see Sandra Bullock in the role he wanted her in but thought she would have a non important part so who cares. But now I'm less enthusiastic about the whole thing.

Totally agree. That is exactly how I feel. Get a REAL ACTOR. 50 Cent is just another wannabe crossover artist. "Oooh, I can rap, acting will be a breeze." Just like all the singers (*cough* Alicia Keyes, Mariah, *puke* Beyonce) and models (*cough* Cindy Crawford, but still damn fine at her age) turned actors this fool is weak. With a great acting coach and a few years of consistent and intense work, MAYBE he can have a breakthrough. There are a very few that do crossover well, but this guy ain't happening right now. LOL.

It's bad enough Lazy Eye got replaced... but it's like they couldn't find a black "actor" to take his place, as if they don't exist. Coming from a white guy, it's absolutely pathetic that there are about five actual black actors that Hollywood will consider using (three of them being Morgan Freeman), and when those five aren't available they turn to some douche hip-hop rap pseudo thug douche to boost the urban ticket demographic. What's sad is that 50 cent isn't even popular anymore. Swing and a miss, Stallone. Wow.
