Dresden Files

[shipperx]

Dresden Files has been cast with British Paul Blackthorne in the role.  Not really a surprise since Dresden is to begin filming in 2 weeks and JM's movie is to begin filming next week.  From the posts I've read from Butcher and the script writer, it really wasn't a matter of not wanting JM but a matter of logistics (JM not wanting to go to Toronto, timing of the filming, contract for the possible series, budget etc.).   Here's hoping that Blackthorne has the right attitude.  I'd like to see the Dresden Files done right.  Too bad JM couldn't work it in because he would have rocked in the part... but, such is life.  I'll look forward to what the Dresden Files looks like when its done.

I need to pull out my "24" Season 3 DVDs, because I don't really remember how he did on that show. I wonder if he can pull off the accent, and I'm really hoping he's got the talent and skill to carry the character. He's certainly tall enough.

I'm not disappointed much. I was expecting this as James would never have move to Toronto. Yet, something aches. :(

Paul Blackthorne was the bad guy in 24: Day 3 and the 50's TV star in Medium last season. I think he'll be ok.
