Cusack wants to be a Watchman

John Cusack is a great fit for Nite Owl, so why has he not been cast yet? Apparently, there’s no problem for Cusack, since he tells MTV in an interview (that you can check out HERE) that he most definitely wants to do it.

“So, the people on the internet want me to do it? I haven’t read the script nor have I ever met Mr. Snyder. We have to talk to talk to Zack’s representatives… [But] I’m in. Talk to Zack”.

How often does something like this happen? Not very, especially not when it’s actually someone really cool, that a lot of people want for the role. Of course, as fate would have it, there is a complication, since apparently Patrick Wilson is being sought to play the Nite Owl. And he’s pretty damn good too. Cusack talks about having a real interest in the comic book, although it’s hard to tell how genuine it is, given the fact that he seems to be unaware of the movie’s existence, and the fact that… well… he’s an actor! Still though, who would you guys prefer? Cusack is Cusack, he’s cool by default, but Patrick Wilson’s work recently has been pretty darn good.
