The world economy crashing and burning aside, today is a slower than usual news day. But RopeofSilicon really wants to know who the next big movie star is. They write this about James McAvoy:
James McAvoy doesn't come off as a major movie star. I have always thought of him as that guy in the smaller film I liked. However, he has recently proved to be something of a powerhouse in a pair of smaller flicks as well as a 2008 blockbuster. McAvoy, I felt, was robbed when it came to The Last King of Scotland as all the attention went to Forest Whitaker even though McAvoy carried the entire film. He was also fantastic opposite Keira Knightley in Atonement. The boy can act, no denying. However, you also have to be able to carry the blockbusters as well. With Wanted in 2008 the majority of the attention was obviously on Angelina Jolie, but McAvoy held his own and with the promise of a Wanted 2 those that already saw the film know McAvoy will be at the heart of it. Can he carry it to box-office glory?
Just go here to see the rest of the list and to vote for James.
