The Latino Review reports that Wedding Crashers star Rachel McAdams is in the running (and preferred choice) to play Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts in Jon Favreau’s Iron Man. The Canadian actress was last seen in The Family Stone and has two projects in various stages of production: The Time Traveler’s Wife and Marriage.
In the original Marvel comic books, Potts was executive secretary to Tony Stark who became infatuated with her employer but later married his chauffeur. Recent casting rumours for this character suggested that both Britney Spears and Kelly Brook might be considered for the role, but this news is likely to be better received by fans.

A very entertaining new trailer for highly anticipated Brit cop movie Hot Fuzz has arrived. Showcasing some great British acting and comic talent, it certainly looks like this one could live up to the hype.
I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
