Several sources, including Movie Web and IMDB, say that Jake Gyllenhaal and his offensively fugly sister Maggie have been approached about playing the Wonder Twins in the upcoming
Justice League of America movie. Tom Welling from the CW's
Smallville is also rumored to be playing Superman, which would be
Super fucking awesome, but I'm sure the producers will screw that up, because, to recap: their movie includes retarded, Mr. Spock-looking twins and a blue monkey with a bucket. MovieWeb says:
We have a very trusted source on the set of 'The Dark Knight', who has worked with Maggie Gyllenhaal doing live theater. As you know, Maggie plays Rachel Dawes in the upcoming Batman sequel. Our source confirms that Gyllenhaal has in fact been approached about appearing in the new 'Justice League' film. Only, there is a catch. It would be a cameo, in which she would appear alongside her brother Jake.That's right. The Gyllenhaal siblings have been approached with the idea of playing Jayna and Zan, der Wonder Twins. These two are crappiest superheros ever created. Ever. She can turn into any animal. He can turn into anything water-based. Yeah.
Believe it or not, the crime fighting limitations of an eagle carrying a block of ice with a face occurred to the writers pretty quickly, so Zan would turn into things like an ice bicycle that the monkey would ride around. Shockingly, that stopped even fewer crimes. Because a house cat and a bucket of purple water isn't really that scary. A hairdryer salesman with a can of tuna could pretty much take over the planet.
