The Emperor Strikes Back!:
Scifi Wire caught up with Ian McDiarmid who plays Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars flicks. Here's how George Lucas approached him
to reprise his role in the prequels:
"When I heard George was going to do prequels, I kind of hoped he would give me a ring, and he did. I knew he was in town, and I went in and had a 10-minute meeting. I hadn't seen him in 20 years, and he looked exactly the same to me. I had a glass of water. He asked, 'Do you know anyone that would like to play an Emperor?' I said, 'It's funny you should say that.' ...He said, 'OK, you can give the water back,' and that was that. He told me a little about the progress of Palpatine through the prequels and what the journey would be like. He said he would start quiet and end big, and that's exactly what's happened.
I think the Emperor is the incarnation of evil, and he's only really interested in power and manipulation. Nothing else gives him any pleasure. He's a Sith from way back, and they don't have a moral universe. They want to create power for themselves by destroying others. It's very interesting to play a character that is irredeemable.
I think it's terrific for me that the final film is also my character's apotheosis. He really explodes in all his unbridled evil. Hypocrisy goes to one side and you see this creature for what he really is. It's been interesting to play the character in the last two movies on the sidelines, and now he moves into the middle. It's a very satisfying personal climax and a privilege."
Awesome, Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith opens worldwide May 19!

Ryan Reynolds talks The Flash!!!:
Ryan Reynolds who played one of the Nightstalkers in David Goyer's Blade: Trinity, is really exited to work with the
director again on The Flash. Here's what he had to say about the status of the project:
"The Flash is something David Goyer is writing now and we're hoping WB will greenlight it The story he has for it is unbelievable. I mean you know it's such a mind-boggling story, so I'm really excited about it. There's so much I didn't realize about the laws of physics and relativity that you can get into with the Flash. And you know the fact that he's basically doing things like arriving before he's left. I mean this stuff to me is really interesting to capture on film.
If it all goes well, I'll be playing it. I have a penchant for wearing red unitards to various parties around town so I'm in. There's nothing contractual about it. David Goyer and I have always said we would like to do it together and WB seems to approve of that."
