Viggo Mortensen Zod in Zack Snyder’s Superman?
“Come to me, son of Jor-El, kneel before Viggo,” or something to that effect might be heard in the Christopher Nolan/Zack Snyder reboot of Superman, according to THR.

Keira Knightley in Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method pics

The period drama is certainly not summer blockbuster fare, but [...]
Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen On the Road

The Hobbit – Guillermo del Toro in, Aragorn Out
Just catching up on a bit of new for The Hobbit adaptation. Comingsoon talked to Viggo Mortensen (who was promoting The Road) about his possible return Middle-Earth as Aragorn, and were told that it’s more than likely that the character would not be in the first film–remember the story will be split into two films.
