Jeffrey Dean Morgan in Red Dawn?

WOLVERINES!

It’s not really “news,” since neither of these items are confirmed as of my writing this. But what the hell — Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a cool motherfucker who deserves every extra bit of pub he can get. So here we go.

First, according to SciFi Squad, Morgan (The Comedian in Watchmen) is apparently very close to being cast in a lead role in the MGM remake of the craperriffic 1984 film, Red Dawn. If chosen, he’d play the Special Forces tough guy (originally played by Powers Booth) who appears and helps the kids save America. Or some dumb shit, I don’t really remember. Look, I think Morgan’s an aces actor, but I can’t summon up any enthusiasm for a idiotic remake of a less-than-mediocre, idiotic, jingoistic 80’s bit of nonsense. But hey, dude’s gotta work.

Anyway, secondly, and infinitely more intriguing — he’s apparently busting his ass to try and get the lead in Guy Ritchie’s Lobo picture, which has neither a script nor a cast yet. I guess Morgan is a big comic book fan, and while he isn’t seven feet tall, I think he’s definitely got the look and the attitude to tackle it. So — get to work, Morgan. Bake some cupcakes for Ritchie. Send him flowers, Mow his lawn. Whatever, just get the part.

Good stuff. He was fantastic as the Comedian.

Oh, I'll help Mr.Dean Morgan get busy. And by "busy" I mean "bizzzay"!

What I'm saying is the hammer is his penis.

Fuck yes. Fuck yes. I love him so much. I often have dreams about him where he smokes and dies (because I find that is a common theme running through his roles. Haha).

You cannot have too much ass-dad. No how.

I grow more uncomfortable on a daily bases with the sexual undertones that permeate this website.

Posted by: Guess Who! at September 16, 2009 10:47 AM

Whookie, if you find the undertones uncomfortable, wait until I show you my overtone.

Mr. Morgan needs more roles. He was my favorite part of The Watchmen. Him and his stogie.

Easy...what can he do? Kill the ex. Done. Part's his.

Lobo, huh? Does that mean we could do it doggie-style? YES!

Are we sure Jeffrey's father wasn't stationed on the Canary Islands in the late 60's? I can see it now:
Mrs. Bardem lounging around the beach reading "Los Lomos del Fuego" when suddenly a weathered man wearing an unbuttoned Army shirt approaches and asks for directions to the local bar. Mrs. Bardem is charmed by his innocent American ways and is compelled to teach him how to find his way around many other things.
"Ah jes, I tink I can help you young toro. Dee nearrrest libations est overrr herrre in my cabana." He drank well that night, my friends.

Lobo is just the Comedian writ large so I suppose it could work. He'll have to hit the weight room because The Last Czarnian is ripped as all hell. Morgan may want to avoid the sun while he's at it.

Swooooon.

I watched PS I Love You only because he was in it. For all of five minutes. But I think there's a shower/half naked scene in it, so that made it worthwhile. I also watched that Accidental Husband claptrap. He needs to be in more things. Naked.

And he's sooooooo pretty.

I'm thinking a Morgan-Swedish Meatball sandwich.

Posted by: Cindy at September 16, 2009 12:26 PM

I wish he'd get busy in my pants.

Posted by: figgy at September 16, 2009 12:35 PM

Yeah. Why can't Mr. Morgan get busy in figgy's pants? What, he's too good for it? What's with all these celebrities getting busy in each OTHER's pants, but not throwing the common folk a bone? We have needs too ya big fuckers! It's bullshit and I'm sick of it.

Balls out!

Posted by: Kballs at September 16, 2009 12:45 PM

Dude needs more work. He and Jackie Earle Haley were the best things about Watchmen. I don't know anything about Lobo, but if he's in it I'll watch it.

Posted by: stardust savant at September 16, 2009 1:00 PM

STFU....Red Dawn is an awesome movie. Yeah full of itself and over the top stupid but damn....and it wasn't a Special Forces dude but an F-15 pilot shot down that help the WOLVERINES!!!!!

Posted by: jotthedot at September 16, 2009 1:55 PM

Oh! He'd make an awesome Lobo, all growly and crazy-like! MMMMmmmLoboHotnessmmmmm!

Posted by: Chickaboom at September 16, 2009 2:54 PM

Sir deserves all the success he can get.

Posted by: minorblue at September 16, 2009 2:58 PM

but I can’t summon up any enthusiasm for a idiotic remake of a less-than-mediocre, idiotic, jingoistic 80’s bit of nonsense.

Oh blow it out your ass TK. I fucking love Red Dawn, I fucking love it. The first time I saw it I was little and I didn't really give a fuck. When I saw it again in high school the only thing I could think about was why couldn't that happen to me. Although I'd probably be one of the kids that got fucking shot. Yeah...I can't run that fast. Plus that movie had "and we're America...fuck yeah...here we come to save the motherfucking day yeah," written all over it. Come on over you Ruskies even our teenagers can kick your fucking ass. AK what? I just nailed your ass with a goddamn bow and arrow. What now bitch? What was it three of them, took on a whole goddamn military compound? Look at the cast! Jesus...sometimes you make me sick TK. Then again, sometimes I fucking love you. BTW you said idiotic twice in the same sentence...and yes, even horrible grammar me twitched at that one.

Mr. Morgan, for some reason, doesn't really get my juices flowing. He ought to, but he just doesn't. However, he was one of the two good--nay, great--things about Watchmen (Rorschach being the other).

And if there is anyone on earth who can take the place of Powers Boothe in Red Dawn, it is the guy in the picture up above.

About Lobo I know nothing. However, fairly or unfairly, "Jeffrey Dean Morgan is playing a comic-book character" is enough to get my rapt attention.

Posted by: Jerce at September 16, 2009 6:31 PM

He would make a GREAT Lobo. Make that happen NOW.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at September 16, 2009 8:44 PM

Yep, he'd be a great Lobo. Make it so.

I love to watch this guy in almost anything (the 'almost' is for Grey's Anatomy. I still watched him, but I felt dirty about it.)
He's a good character actor and he has real presence. The looks don't hurt, of course - thanks for that photo, TK, it made my morning!
