Thank God.

Contrary to earlier reports, Frank Langella will play Nixon in the Frost/Nixon film, and not Warren Beatty or Kevin Spacey (blech... something I would pay money NOT to see). My new "favourite" actor Michael Sheen will indeed play Frost in the film. So why did producers, and director Ron Howard, go with Langella after being rumored to be pursuing Warren Beatty? Howard did initally want him, "But Beatty, the [London Daily Mail] reveals, is said to have put off movie executives with his "oscillating behavior." Huh. Oscillating behavior... like the time he deserted Natalie Wood mid-meal in a restaurant and ran off for a three-day interlude with a checkroom girl? One wonders these things on a Friday afternoon. Anyone care to share some of Beatty's more recent "oscillations"?
