The director said that Chester was going to play a mugger in the movie Dark As Day. Also acording to IMDB that was correct. IMDB also states that Mike Shinoda was going to have the role of a taxidriver. The Director of the movie confirmed that Shinoda IS NOT going to be in the film, even though he would gladly work with him. Shinoda states that he is not, and don't want to be a movie actor for now. IMDB updated the cast of Dark As Day. Wich had the following updates. -Chester is removed from the cast list. -Mike's name is still on the list, even to it's confirmed he won't -Rob Bourden has been added to the cast list. As the role of a random Guitar Star. (Guitar dude? Rob?.... It would be more beliveable if they said Drummer god) Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1087574/
Imdb is like Wikipedia unfortunately. It can be edited by anybody and is hardly trustworthy. We actually did an interview with the director a few months ago which can be found here (also where most of the info from that page came from): http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31367 The project is currently not in production as he does not have the funding for it. Rob Bourdon and Mike Shinoda are not attached as cast. Chester is the only one who agreed to be cast, provided the movie gets off the ground.
For the 10328930204925493505th time, it's not actually that easy to add information to Wikipedia and to have it stay there even if it's true, never mind stuff that's patently untrue.
Yes, I am fully aware Wikipedia has people there to watch the articles and edit any vandalism. Nevermind the fact that Wikipedia has now become a joke and employs 16-17 year old moderators with an inferiority complex, and that they won't even accept corrections to the Linkin Park page that are quoted on a band member's OFFICIAL blog. That's not my point. My point is that much like Wikipedia, IMDB encourages ANYONE to edit pages and submit corrections. IMDB just doesn't erase edits. I could say Todd is the new batman and it would stay there forever.
Then i got may answer. But it's funny they actually removed Chester, and added Rob. Even thou Chester is the only on who'd say yes for a role.
