David Boreanaz to Play Sub-Mariner?

Something I came across...

According to David "Angel" Boreanaz's IMDB profile, it has Sub-Mariner listed as "In Development" with further details only available to IMDB Pro members.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004770/

If anyone has an IMDB pro account and would like to shed more light on this, that'd be awesome.

	By the way... this was me but I totally forgot to log in before submitting DX DeadWebHead - 11/6/2009, 7:52 PM
	i would not consider him for the role of namor. he looks like a swimmer but without some major prosthetics, he would not be able to pull off the arrogance of the sub-mariner. Wadey09 - 11/6/2009, 8:14 PM
	I dunno about that... if he portrays him in the same way he did Angelus just without the blood sucking, it might work DeadWebHead - 11/6/2009, 8:17 PM
	Isn't the Sub-Mariner a second rate character?.. Minotauro - 11/6/2009, 9:02 PM
	Here maybe this will help you guys visualize it. Don't use this as a judge of my photoshop skills, I just mocked this up in like... 5 minutes DeadWebHead - 11/6/2009, 10:06 PM
	nice job Deadweb ... he kinda looks good for it from here. Misterfan - 11/6/2009, 10:33 PM
	Thanks Mister! I personally would love to see him play more arrogant character. DeadWebHead - 11/6/2009, 10:35 PM
	i'll believe it when i see it. Wadey09 - 11/6/2009, 11:59 PM
	He's kind of old, isn't he? ClintEastwood - 11/7/2009, 12:30 AM
	He's only just turned 40... sure maybe too old by our standards to be a prince but they could make it work DeadWebHead - 11/7/2009, 2:34 AM
	[frick] OFF!!! He cant act!!!! VIN DIESEL all the way!!! ; ) LEEE777 - 11/7/2009, 5:27 AM
	Hell yeah!!! LEEE777 - 11/7/2009, 5:31 AM
	Bud seriously though, unless its offical IMDB is full of guessing and bullsh1t! But really good find. LEEE777 - 11/7/2009, 5:32 AM
	yeah am with lee on vin mmmmmmm lol lc - 11/7/2009, 7:33 AM
	Leee this is the first time i have to disagree with you, Vinnie here is a terrible choice, actually terrible actor in general. Plus his voice messes with good Bass speakers lol Misterfan - 11/7/2009, 10:17 AM
	The guy is an awesome actor and would make a brilliant Namor!!! Much better than that douchebag no talent Vin Diesel! :D joshw24 - 11/7/2009, 12:11 PM
	No Vin No Bore-naze No Quinto Jason Behr 4 Namor :) teabag - 11/7/2009, 4:00 PM
	LOL vin vin vin de vin lol soory josh hahahha lc - 11/7/2009, 4:56 PM
	This guy's body is worst than Tom "Clark Kent" Welling not to mention I dont think he has that edge he'd need to play Namor. I guess if their going to do a campy Namor like they screwed up the FF then yea I'll just wait for the dvd if they make it. BLADE4040 - 11/7/2009, 5:21 PM
	Vin?! For Namor? I wish I knew where you guys scored whatever is you guys are on cause it must be goooood. David has that moldable body that he can make super tone if he wanted too so I don't think that's a problem for him. The only problem I see is his tone of voice simply because he kind of has more of a hero's voice (hence Hal Jordan in "JL: New Frontier") I'm led to believe that it is in fact an official entry because it's locked with IMDB Pro only access. All IMDB Pro is monitored and verified. However, without having an IMDB Pro account myself I'm not exactly sure he has been cast as Namor. Perhaps he has some other role DeadWebHead - 11/8/2009, 2:57 AM
	jim caviezel is an ideal namor...heck of an actor but if you have seen the tudors...then u know the man who is best bet to play an arrogant haughty yet powerful king is JOHN RHYS MEYERS...hands down...ummm...vin diesel...he has no acting skill....and david angel? lol boreanz for the atom though Anil Rickly - 11/8/2009, 11:45 AM
	Anil is that the dude played Steerpike in the BBC adaptation of Gormenghast? EvilEd2000 - 11/8/2009, 2:00 PM
	@Anil: Yeah I could see Jesus Christ playing Namor... that would actually be quite good. DB for Atom? Why atom? DeadWebHead - 11/8/2009, 3:18 PM
	I'm for David as Namor. iNsaneMilesy - 11/9/2009, 2:20 AM
	The picture does look cool :D Spilox - 11/9/2009, 4:26 AM
	@Lee, i usually love your opinions on things but your seriously gonna say he cant act then opt for VinDiesle.....Hes like one of the worst actors otg......thats like saying a one legged man cant run very fast but a guy with no legs is a speedster Cape - 11/9/2009, 5:49 AM
	Lol... @Cape: Elseworld-What if The Flash lost his legs in 'nam! @Spilox: Thanks DeadWebHead - 11/9/2009, 8:57 AM
	cuz from his roles in bones...and as angel (not angelus)....it seems he fits a ray palmer role...esp the modern recent version depicted in JLA and the recent crises....db gives that sorrowful yet full of hope and aim...that ray palmer depicts since he lost his wife jean in identity crisis...and his role as angel was always dealing with loss (hence why i never wanted db to play GL but backed him as atom)... john rhys meyers was in tudors, bend it like beckham, mi3 etc Anil Rickly - 11/9/2009, 10:35 AM
	John Meyers could pull it off too but out of your choices, I would definitely go for Cavizel DeadWebHead - 11/9/2009, 11:59 AM
	Zac Efron for Namor!!! Sorry. Couldn't help myself... ElBicho - 11/9/2009, 12:30 PM
	ElBicho... that's not funny... that's not funny at all. DeadWebHead - 11/9/2009, 12:47 PM
	Ah i just remerbered why i don't like Boreanaz as a person. Because this bitch started al the emo vampire shit. We don't even have cool vampires anymore like in Underworld. Only those lame ones from twilight that teenage girl seem to like so much Spilox - 11/10/2009, 1:42 AM
	Only because I have to, Vin Diesel is a very capable actor thank you very much. He's got a lot more talent then just Fast and Furious and Riddick type roles, check his other stuff out before making ignorant comments. ASSASSIN666 - 11/10/2009, 10:01 AM
	@ Spilox: No way dude. You can't credit "Angel" for starting that movement. Shit his vampire is INFINITELY more masculine than Brad Pitt's "Louis de Pointe du Lac". @ ASSASSIN: I have seen his other stuff, I.E. A man apart, Boiler Room and Facials and having seen all that my opinion of him hasn't changed. He can't act DeadWebHead - 11/10/2009, 2:04 PM
	@ assassin's: ive also seen his other stuff and im with webhead he cant act at all, and a napolian complex Cape - 11/10/2009, 6:04 PM
	AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NO NO NO NO NO!! As a passionate fan of Namor, I say no! I say no. No. No!! Not only is David Boreanaz not sexy, but he has never had the demeanor of pure authority that Namor has. I know he can be a scary, manipulative vampire. I loved Angel and Buffy, but this movie will bomb. David just doesn't have it. My fangirl pick is Wentworth Miller though he does NOT have the body to pull it off. If he did, he'd be my choice, but I know he hates to work out. This is his "I'm going to seduce you, Susan" look. And "what did you say, human?" look gorgeousgeeks - 11/12/2009, 10:25 PM
	Vin Diesel does not act good enough to be Namor. Namor is almost poetic...in a very mannish, sexy kind of way. I don't think he can pull it off. gorgeousgeeks - 11/12/2009, 10:34 PM
	@ Gorgeous: That boy looks like he couldn't command a Golden Retriever much less an entire kingdom. I think if they casted him as Namor then they might as well cast Jensen Ackles as Captain America and Ashton Kutcher as Hawkeye and just make the entire Avengers movie one ridiculously long Abercrombie & Fitch ad DeadWebHead - 11/13/2009, 7:13 AM
	Though I will say I'd much rather see him as Namor than Vin. DeadWebHead - 11/13/2009, 7:15 AM
	@DeadWebHead I do want to see Jensen Ackles play Captain America. I think he'd be perfect and I don't know anyone else better for the role right now, and I've heard tons of suggestions from this site and others and I disagreed with them all. Jensen Ackles could do it. And Wentworth, despite the obvious geeky and passive suggesting name, is a very talented actor. He manipulated everybody in Prison Break and had a "Of course I'm smarter and better than you" air about him. He could pull it off, IF he worked out like a maniac, because he is currently too small. I don't think he would though. So if he doesn't, then he's useless. However, I would watch that movie a record of one million times. gorgeousgeeks - 11/13/2009, 10:48 AM
	Like I said, I wouldn't Boycot the movie if he were cast but I just think their are much better choices. So far I'm thinking Cavizel would knock it out of the park. As for Cap, well we're just going to have to agree to disagree. Jensen looks like a boy, Cap needs to be played by a man. However I support him for Hawkeye! DeadWebHead - 11/14/2009, 6:20 AM
	Also... you need an avatar lol! Makes it easier to spot your posts! DeadWebHead - 11/14/2009, 6:21 AM
	I think Jensen would be a great Hawkeye and I do think he'd have to buff up for Cap. But I've seen Jensen Ackles bigger. I still support him for the role. I think Cavizel is very talented and I do think he could do it. I've seen Count of Monte Cristo so many times. I never get tired of that movie. I always said he should be Iron Man before they cast Robert Downy Jr. though he does a great Iron Man. gorgeousgeeks - 11/14/2009, 7:58 AM
	Yeah at this point I wouldn't want to see anyone else in red and gold armor. I think it's that very film (Count of Monte Cristo) that leads me to believe he could pull of Namor. I judge my choice in actors based on how I feel when I see them and I just don't feel that respect commanding presence that cap has from JA. But then again I've been biased towards one particular actor ever since I saw Terminator: Salvation Good job on the avatar! DeadWebHead - 11/14/2009, 12:49 PM
