By FavaBeans | November 20, 2009
Willem DaFoe easily defeats Topher Grace in last week’s match up with a whopping 14-0 tally.
We started this game on our Message Boards over two years ago, and it’s still going! The list includes movies made up until 2007. Needless to say, there are alot of actors and actresses that have been cast in CBMs!
I decided to move this game over to the site so we can generate more interest and more votes. The game works like this – Each week 2 actors/actresses will be matched up against one another (randomnly, there’s is no bias in the match-ups), and it’s up to you, the fans, to decide who was the better choice to play the part. At the end, the winner with the most votes moves on to the next round. A new match up will be posted every Friday and will last one week!
Continue on to learn more and vote on this week’s match up!

The book, created and written by Remender and illustrated by Greg Tocchini, is a heist thriller told against a sci fi backdrop.
In a near-future America, news has broken that, in a matter of weeks, the government is set to roll out mind-control technology that will kill the criminal impulse in all citizens. Chaos descends on America’s cities as the country braces for the new order. Career criminal Graham Brick is forced to accelerate the heist of his career with an untested new crew in order to beat the deadline. What could possibly go wrong?
Worthington, seen recently in ‘Terminator: Salvation’ and returning next month in James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ will take the role of Kevin Cash, the safecracker who (along with his beautiful girlfriend Shelby) is enlisted in the heist at the last minute.
Remender is writing the screenplay for the film, which he’s developed concurrently with the comic series. Radical chief Barry Levine is producing along with Michael Schwartz. Remender will also act as either co-producer or executive producer.
