A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

HOPEFULLY, THEY'LL BE BETTER THAN HALLE BERRY: The film version of X-Men 3 has gained two new cast members. Kelsey Grammer is not who I would have initially thought of for the role of Hank "Beast" McCoy, but the article correctly notes that his personality, voice, and demeanor are dead on, even if the physique isn't. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the character--it could be a CG creation. More interestingly, Maggie Grace, better known as Shannon from "Lost," will play Kitty Pryde ("Shadowcat"). The shooting of X3 would seem to conflict with "Lost" shooting, so this may indicate something about the size of Grace's role either in X3 or on "Lost" next season. The casting's interesting, even if I have substantial doubts about new director Matthew Vaughn.
