    i guess these are the only roles Taye is being offered. He's one of the most underrated black actors around!
    They should give him LUKE CAGE or PANTHER another good leading comic character.

    The comic book is great, but I think the story will be different, in the original he's a Detective from London, the police call him whenever there's an "X-File", I think the film is based in New York so I don't know how that's going to turn out, or if he's going to be american just like they did with "Constantine" that was actually from Liverpool :D

    Taye Diggs is a decent actor. I enjoy watching his films. Some good ones were Slow Burn, The Wood, The Best Man... I guess House on Haunted Hill was alright.

    Not to big on Sam Huntington. Anita Briem-never heard of her. Brando Routh, the only I've seen with him was Superman Returns.

    This plot sounds bad.

    taye diggs performances have been hit or miss.
    for instance he was great in "way of the gun" but awful in "equilibrium".

    anyway i agree with newkill and shelley and am also wondering if this is a dark comedy.

    Is this going to be a dark comedy or some f*cking kiddy flick. The cast isn't impressing to me either.
