"Jon Favreau likes to describe it as a mashup — he loves mashups when it comes to music," the actress told MTV News. "So this is kind of a film mashup. I think that's cool, and it hasn't really been done that much before."

As for what this mashup might entail, Wilde was quick to assure fans that although the movie may be full of special effects the producers have maintained a story-driven focus.

"With producers like Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, these are people who really care about the story, and they care about wonderment and imagination and celebrating that. That's what this movie's going to do. It's going to have awesome effects, but Jon Favreau and everyone else are concentrating on making a great story."

"I think that's a film that's going to be interesting for a lot of reasons," she said. "It's very different. Western enthusiasts will be happy. Sci-fi enthusiasts will also be happy."

damn right she's hott!

hopefully this will reach somewhere close to the vein of Firefly/Serenity. i think that was one of the best shows ever to grace television and it's sad that there was only 11 episodes of the series. hopefully this will fill that void that was left in my nerd-tastic heart.

NightAvenger4 - no believe me, there's nothing strange about it - that attraction is unanimous lol.

Grif - I could paint my name all over that forehead of hers =P


I have yet to see an actress or actor say "I dunno, I think this next project I'm working on is gonna suck" lol. Not to say that this will 'cuz Fav's at the helm, but I always find this funny.

While the temptation is there for Hendricks, I'm concerned her "natural" assets would obscure the more subtle feminine virtues that Iris West/Allen posseses. I think Olivia Wilde may suit better to capture that.

Oscuro is right on track!
