"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"

So wait, what camera is projecting Electro's face onto the Times Square billboard? Is it SPIDER-MAN'S MINI FINGERTIP CAMERA?!?!?!?

I guess the power of electricity allows him to do that sort of thing.

I'm pretty sure that's the exact same Electro image from the first poster. It still looks terrible, like they ripped him out of a video game.

Not excited because it'll be good. Just the opposite.

The bottom right hand corner of his electricity burst is lined up with the city street in that poster and half of the glow effect has been left on this one.

Seeing the NPH as Hedwig poster is making me seriously consider buying some broadway tickets, and it has been a very long time since I've considered doing that. So if it is a new marketing technique, it's working on me.

Yeah, he's a British comedic actor, also known for being Roy in The IT Crowd.

The other guy being someone known for playing a pothead and a drug-dealing rapper.

In Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.

I kinda feel like James Franco is known for a lot more than just his roles in Pineapple Express and Spring Breakers. Dude makes a lot of movies.

O'Dowd, however, is shamefully unknown. If people haven't seen The IT Crowd, he's "Irish guy from Bridesmaids."

I'm guessing that O'Dowd is going to drop the brouge for playing Lenny because if he doesn't no one in the audience will be able to keep a straight face. It'd be like the Work Outing episode if IT Crowd ("Ai'm disaboled!").

If he doesn't, though, I'll be first in line for tickets.

I'm not sure whether Chris O'Dowd can do other accents.
There are certain actors who never put on accents - it's rare, but there are a few out there (who aren't American!) For instance, Colin Firth has..on my recollection, only done an accent that wasn't his own once, and it was extremely...disturbing. Whenever they have a movie set in America, they just accept that he's British and run with it.

It makes me wonder, do some actors escape ever having to do another accent because they can't, or because they're so well known with their original accent that people will specifically go out of their way to cast them if they want an Irish or British or German or whatever actor? I mean..Colin Firth's texan accent sounded alright to me, but it was just..wrong having it come out of the mouth of Colin Firth.
