I love Rodrigo. He’s great in Heleno. I know these are some coveted roles in this film so this is a big win for him. Portman and Fassbender, not to mention Ramsay, are all A level and everyone in town wants in on this film. Rodrigo joining joining this film is good news.
Wow! This cast is just getting more and more riveting. Rodrigo is a huge win, he is so talented and diverse. Cannot wait to see this film when it comes out.
Wow. This cast just gets more and more riveting. Rodrigo Santoro is a huge win, he is so talented and diverse. Bravo! Cannot wait to see film when it’s released.
That’s awesome! Hollywood is finally giving Santoro more roles. He’s such an underrated actor. Great in both Che movies. Can’t wait to see Jane Got a Gun. Solid cast so far.
This film just keeps getting better and better! Huge fan of Rodrigo, amazing choice! Can’t wait!!
He’s sooo hot!!!! Natalie Portman is my idol, too. My head’s going to explode.
We’re due for a good Western! Solid script. Fassbender will crush it and Santoro’s perfect for “Fitchum”. Deliver the goods, Lynne!
This cast keeps getting better and better. Great choice with Rodgrigo. Can’t wait!!
From 300 to Lost to Che to whatever he’s doing next…follow this Santoro fellow…he knows what he’s doing. Can’t wait to see this film!
What an amazing team this is shaping up to be… Cannot wait for the movie!!!
LOVE Rodrigo Santoro!! This cast keeps getting better and better, I can’t wait to see the film when it’s all complete!
Great Casting choice by Steindorff and Nanathial. I’ve been a fan of Santoro since watching him on Brazilian television. Smart way to appeal to the growing hispanic audience in this country. Excited to see Ramsay’s telling of this very cool story. Nicely Done!
Talented and sexy! Can’t get more of a sexy cast than this. The camera is going to get fogged up.
Santoro is a great choice! Such a versitile actor! From 300 to Love Actually to side by side with Arnold, this guy can do it all. Can’t wait for the film!
Rodrigo was played one hell of a villain in 300. The cast alone is worth checking this flick out.
Sweet
I love Rodrigo!
This was also an incredible cast!
I loved Rodrigo in “What To Expect when you’re expecting” and I can’t wait to see him in this movie! Terrific cast!
Rodrigo is SUCH an underrated actor! He’s by far one of my favorites. Can’t wait to see him in Jane Got A Gun!!!
Rodrigo is an amazing actor! I am looking forward to this movie!!!!
That’s so great rodrgio is playing in a western movie! So great! Can’t wait to see it!!’
I can’t buy Natalie Portman in this role. Her casting will hurt the movie.
Great choice on Rodrigo – he’s perfect!
He’s just as beautiful and gorgeous in person as he is in his pictures. I had the opportunity to see him while I was getting fitted for my wardrobe. I hope he stays on despite the problems arising and we start shooting soon.
