Home           Proposed Casting A List for John The following actors are top established stars. Keanu Reeves In 1994, the understated actor became a big-budget action star with the release of Speed (1994). Its success heralded an era of five years in which Reeves would alternate between small films, like Feeling Minnesota (1996) and The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997), and big films like A Walk in the Clouds (1995) and The Devil's Advocate (1997). (There were a couple misfires, too: Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and Chain Reaction (1996).) After all this, Reeves did the unthinkable and passed on the Speed sequel, but he struck box-office gold again a few years later with the Wachowski siblings' cyberadventure, The Matrix (1999). Now a bonafide box-office star, Keanu would appear in a string of smaller films -- among them The Replacements (2000), The Watcher (2000), The Gift (2000), Sweet November (2001), and Hardball (2001) - before The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003) were both released in 2003. Since the end of The Matrix trilogy, Keanu has divided his time between mainstream and indie fare, landing hits with Something's Gotta Give (2003), The Lake House (2006), and Street Kings (2008). He's kept Matrix fans satiated with films such as Constantine (2005), A Scanner Darkly (2006), and The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008). And he's waded back into art-house territory with Ellie Parker (2005), Thumbsucker (2005), The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009), and Henry's Crime (2010). Most recently, as post-production on the samurai epic 47 Ronin (2013) waged on, Keanu appeared in front of the camera in Side by Side (2012), a documentary on celluloid and digital filmmaking, which he also produced. He also directed another Asian-influenced project, Man of Tai Chi (2013). In 2014, Keanu played the title role in the action revenge film John Wick (2014), which became popular with critics and audiences alike. He reprised the role in John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), taking the now-iconic character to a better opening weekend and even more enthusiastic reviews than the first go-around. Scott Eastwood Scott Eastwood is an American actor and model. He was born as Scott Clinton Reeves in Carmel, Monterey County, California, to Jacelyn Ann Reeves, a flight attendant, and Clint Eastwood, an actor and director. He grew up in Hawaii.

His mother, Marianne (Dalgliesh), a housewife, was also born on Jersey, and is of Irish, Scottish and English ancestry. Henry's father, Colin Richard Cavill, a stockbroker, is of English origin (born in Chester, England). Henry is the second youngest son, with four brothers. He was privately educated at St. Michael's Preparatory School in Saint Saviour, Jersey before attending Stowe School in Buckinghamshire, England. His interest in acting started at an early age with school play renditions of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and Sonny LaTierri in "Grease". He also starred and directed Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in the BBC documentary "40 Minutes". It was at age 17 when Henry was discovered by casting directors at school who were looking for a young boy to play Albert Mondego in The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). He went on to star in Vendetta (2001), appear in BBC's The Inspector Lynley Mysteries (2001), the television film Goodbye, Mr. Chips (2002), and the television series Midsomer Murders (1997).

During 2007-2010, Henry had a leading role on the television series The Tudors (2007) as Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. The series was a success and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2007 and won an Emmy Award in 2008. Entertainment Weekly named him "Most Dashing Duke". He also starred in Blood Creek (2006) and Woody Allen's comedy film Whatever Works (2009). On January 30, 2011, it was announced that Henry Cavill had been cast as the next Superman in Man of Steel (2013), making him the first non-American actor to play Superman. The movie was directed by Zach Snyder, produced by Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer.

On June 10, 2013, Man of Steel (2013) kicked off its world premiere in New York City followed by London, Bailiwick of Jersey, Sicily, Madrid, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo. The movie became the highest-grossing Superman film to date, and the second-highest-grossing reboot of all time behind The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). Glamour magazine ranked him the #1 "Sexiest Man".

Cavill reprised his role as Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017). - IMDb Mini Biography By: Pedro Borges Eddie Redmayne Born in the early 80s, Eddie Redmayne is an actor who has aged amazingly, and done so damn well when it comes to experimenting with different roles, and knowing what he's good at. Personally, my favourite performance by him is in The Danish Girl as his acting was just phenomenal. In films like Savage Grace, and Like Minds he has portrayed darker characters, and yet in The Theory of Everything, and Fantastic Beasts he portrays lovable and intelligent ones. There is quite a bit of range there, but it really is up to you whether you like him in Jupiter Ascending or not. Christian Bale Possibly one of the finest actors of his generation, Christian Bale has one of the largest ranges of acting in all of Hollywood history. He first broke the mould playing the self-consumed Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (even though he isn't American, he sure did fool a lot of people). Bale then took on the insomniac role in The Machinist, and is renowned for being the best ever Batman after Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. Bale has portrayed the anti-heroic Victorian magician in possibly one of my favourites role of his career, Alfred Borden in The Prestige. The Fighter, American Hustle, The Big Short, Equilibrium, Empire of the Sun, 3:10 to Yuma, and even Out of the Furnace, and another one of my favourites–Public Enemies. There is no doubt that Christian Bale has unparalleled amounts of talent–the likes of which the British film industry has hardly ever seen. However, I have to thank Christian Bale personally for giving me my favourite film in all of film history after he portrayed Pastor John in I'm Not There. Ben Whishaw One of my personal favourite actors, and another one of the greatest actors of his generation–Ben Whishaw is basically good at everything. His role in Cloud Atlas is absolutely mind-blowing, as he portrays a fraudulent musician who then tries to take his own life back with dire consequences. He has portrayed the murderous character in Perfume, and he has portrayed John Keats in Bright Star. He's probably most famous for his roles as Q in the recent James Bond films, and as the voice of Paddington Bear. However, his role on stage as Hamlet in 2004 has been one that hasn't been forgotten by anyone, anywhere who has heard of it remotely. Fun fact: Ben Whishaw's Hamlet inspired Kit Harington to take up acting. My personal favourite films starring Ben Whishaw are: Brideshead Revisited, Lilting, Cloud Atlas, and of course, my favourite film of all time in which he portrays Arthur Rimbaud–I'm Not There.
