So, is the charcter NOT being renamed? And is his history being rewritten? (There is an article that makes reference to casting "Jack" who's father died heroically.)

Anyone else think Ms. Mod would make an excellent politician? She dances around answers with the best of them. (And I honestly mean that as a compliment.)
Decades of practice. ;)

She's too honest to be a good politician.

I have no love for Matthew McConaughey, not since I found out about his caged/canned hunting events. But then he is playing a very bad man (if he's signed) so I suppose it is apropos. It's not always easy to separate the artist from the person they are, but I try.
His casting is official--all contracts signed and in order. Same with Idris Elba.:smile2:

I heard they were going to be changing his name to Jack. As long as they stick with Chambers, I'm fine with that, that's my surname too.

If they change it, WHY? Change just to change is dumb. (and you notice M's Mod avoided answering me again?) But the rumoured change of Jake/Jack's family history is worse.

Again though, since they are starting and ending in the middle, does any of it matter?

Sad about the family changes, if true.

Jake's coke sniffin, jerk father made it easier for him to just walk out the door that day.

Ms. Mod knows all the secrets. :smile2: I wonder if she talks in her sleep?

Since there can be no rhyme or reason to changing Jake to Jack, one can only surmise one of two things:

1. It isn't happening and the name Jack was part of the Diamond City cover to keep the casting on the down low.

or

2. The script has some stupid Hollywood funny lines written in, like "you don't know Jack" or like nonsense.

Being optimistic, I'm going to hope for the former rather than the latter.
