An article from The Feed.

A really great article from the LA Times.

Jackie Earle Haley is Rorschach

"It's kind of scary, right?" Haley said. "I mean, it felt great. When my agent called and said, 'Hey, man, I have some bad news for you and some good news. What would you like to hear first?' I said, 'Give me the bad news.' He goes, 'You're not going to be doing the Clint Eastwood movie because you're going to be doing the Watchmen.' It's just an incredible role, an incredible property. The source material is absolutely amazing."

 They are starting to release some images slowly.  Here, from IGN is an image of JEH as Rorschach lighting a guy on fire!  Cool!!!

Jackie has just signed on for "Shutter Island", the new film by Martin Scorsese starring Max Von Sydow, Leonardo Di Caprio and Michelle Williams.  

Movieweb has the story.

I'm getting stoked!

The casting is slowly being confirmed and it appears that Jude Law and Kate Winslet are out but JEH is totally in as Rorschach - the LEAD character!  Yay!

Chicago Sun Times reports it here.

According to www.cinematical.com.......rumor has it that Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson - both respectively from "Little Children", Jackie Earle Haley's Oscar nominated film, may also be joining the cast of Watchmen:

Speaking of Wilson, if this list holds any water the film may be turning into something of a Little Children reunion -- Kate Winslet's name is now at the top of the list as Silk Spectre, and there's a general consensus that Jackie Earle Haley is a shoe-in for the role of Rorshach.

According to Chud.com:

If Jackie Earle gets the role, you can thank CHUD.com. Well, sort of. Before Jeremy ‘Mr. Beaks’ Smith joined our cast of misfits, he was doing some work for Creative Screenwriting, and one of his assignments was a profile of Zach Snyder. After doing the interview, Jeremy needed a contact number for a follow-up, and I happened to have it; while on the phone, I told Jeremy that he should recommend Jackie Earle Haley for the role of Rorschach. He did just that, and Snyder, after taking a second to figure out who the guy was, said that he had seen him at the Oscars and thought that he completely had the right look.

It has been reveled by Paddy Considine that Jackie Earle Haley is now set to play the masked vigilante Rorschach in the film adaptation of Watchmen.

Considine was originally set to play the character, back when Paul Greengrass was attached to direct. Now, it seems the former Bad News Bears actor has been hired for the role.

Cinematical.com also writes a nice little piece on JEH's upcoming roles in Jackie Earle Haley Sittin' On Top of the World.

Apparently, Jackie Earle is not only in Semi-Pro, but has signed on for two other films!  

Haley then will join Kate Beckinsale, Forest Whitaker, Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce in the drama "Winged Creatures," portraying an abusive husband and angry father.

Finally, Haley will shoot "Bolden!" an indie drama on which Wynton Marsalis will serve as a producer. The period biopic stars Anthony Mackie as Buddy Bolden, the first man of New Orleans jazz. Haley will portray a judge at the centre of most of the lucrative but corrupt activities in New Orleans.

Oscar nominee joins 'Semi-Pro'

It's only a lowbrow comedy, but "Semi-Pro" has some Oscar cachet.

That is, one of the cast members - no, not Will Ferrell - of the Flint-set basketball movie was a recent Academy Award nominee. He's comeback guy Jackie Earle Haley, a nominee as a suburban sex offender in "Little Children."

Haley, a San Antonio resident, told the San Antonio Express-News that he'll play a basketball fan who gets to try a long shot for big money at halftime of a game.
