I thought Deadline is a reliable source. No?

- Yeah. From the form of the text, this looks like it was originally press release either from the studio or his agents.

  - Btw, I take this as a confirmation that RA is in Season 2 of ‘Berlin Station’: “Armitage is currently the lead in Olen Steinhauer’s Berlin Station […], which goes into its second season this year”.

Reblogged this on Unkraut vergeht nicht….oder doch? and commented:

Wow, was für eine Ankündigung!
Ich dachte eigentlich, der Film wäre schon abgedreht und bin gerade etwas erstaunt. Entweder hat RA dazu Nachtschichten eingelegt, als er Ende letzten Jahres Theater in New York gespielt hat oder er hat seinen Doppelgänger Robert Hermitage geschickt oder es war ganz anders….
Man darf gespannt sein!!!

- either he has a very small role, or he was doing it November and December. Which would explain a LOT.

With all those great actresses, and James Corbin for comic relief, he will be in his element. They will fall in love with him, he will bask in it, and put his arm around every one of them. He will be smiling and joking for the duration. A (Romantic) Comedy could broaden his audience, and we know this will be distributed widely. I couldn’t be happier for him, or us.

- Still, it may not be so tiny. Since it’s in NYC, it could have had a lot to do with his much lower profile, lack of SDs, and missing that last talk. It would be just like him to start work on a movie while still working on a play. We know nothing of what he’s done since he flew home on the 18th, other than saying he would be doing some skiing when he was on TODAY.

Wow! Even if it’s a small cameo role, we can hope that he might reappear in a larger role if it turns into a franchise… and I’ve no doubt that we’ll get to see it! Wonder if this is why he dropped out of Miles?

Prequel to Ocean’s 11 (12, 13…)? Where are Ocean’s 9+10? Okay, okay just being slightly confused, but happy for him.
Wow, if this holds water. No wonder he’d rather do this than the other project. Look at the cast!!

when i seen the title of this post/blog, i got excited because i was thinking it was going to be the one that starred George Clooney( ocean’s eleven,twelve,thirteen). because george tries his best to get everybody in his films equal face time/talk time,etc. but then i read the article and found out it was all women. don’t get me wrong, they have a great cast, but i am just disappointed that they didn’t give Mr. Richard Armitage a lead role or something than a cameo or maybe that is all Mr. Richard Armitage wanted to do was a cameo. if he did that it is such a shame, he should know and they should know that he is a great actor.

- He’s not really in the crowd of actors who’d be included in the original franchise, I suspect. They’re a kind of modern day “rat pack” and he is not in that group.

  - From what I’ve seen of watching the Ocean’s films many times, “cameos” are usually very, very famous people in their fields doing a small bit calling attention to the world of money and glamour. “Cast members” tend to have at least one good scene as a character or play an integral (though sometimes quiet) role in the caper. So, I think there’s room to hope.

Good for him, although I would prefer a bigger role than this is likely to be, with his other obligations, the time it was filmed, and this cast, which suggests all-female leads… I was rather disappointed with Alice because his role was so tiny.

Richard in another cameo, It is not that easy to break into the big screen and baby steps are not unheard of and with his large feet and acting talent his baby steps will be kind of of huge, plus it is a movie to get him out there, seen and one that will be gratefully released with such a cast. Looking forward to it and he proves again how many irons he can keep in the fire going at once. Our workaholic on the go.
