False.

YESSS!!! YES YES YES YES YES!!!! EVERYTHING YES!!!!

NO NO NO NO NO. AND LET ME SEE.... NO. I am sick of watching him only play himself. Is he the only frelling name they could come up with? Do they realise there are other actors out there who could do a better job?

God, just fuck Benedict Cumberbatch. I don't get him. He's not an eighth as charming or witty or attractive to me as most of the internet seems to find him. Blegh.

I know I'll be in the minority here but, please God, make it not true! Cumberbatch is a good actor, but just not the fir for this role. Also, differently than most people in this planet, I'm beggining to get tired of seeing him cast everywhere...

I like Cumberbatch and all, but dammit, I wanted Oded Fehr!

Some time ago, I'd have been much more excited about that possibility. Right now, I personally feel like there's an oversaturation of Cumberbatch.

so basically cumberbatch is a slut for any proven major franchise. got it.

>>>This is, obviously, awesome.<<<

I do like Cumberbatch, for the most part, but beyond not really thinking the role is right for him...I'm just thoroughly bored of the…

GROSS GROSS GROSS NO NO NO. (also, not a fan of the casting)

I doubt Valve took it as a serious death threat either, but they had to show that there's consequences to acting like a prick instead of an adult.

Bullshit. One email or phone call would have rectified the situation. Instead he makes an ass of himself.

You barely got through the opening. Your loss.

We should correct them, even if they're a celebrity.

I'm starting to believe people have more fun modding this game than actually playing it.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Joaquin Phoenix is no longer in the running.
