CardName: Challenge # 098 Cost: Type: Challenge Pow/Tgh: / Rules Text: Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro and Twentieth Century Fox will collaborate to make a movie based on Magic multiverse, presumably focused on the current cast of planeswalkers. Your goal here is to choose an actor or actress to play such a neo-planeswalker, find a photo of that actor/actress befitting that character and paste it onto your card, which could be a new planeswalker card (e.g. Jace, Dark Invader) or something related to that planeswalker (e.g. Jace's Braces).

That... sounds like a good way to get this site shut down, actually.
Apart from that; no.
Ah... I believe Vitenka is talking about Libel. Injurious media with the intent to defame a particular individual. In theory, he'd be on to something... if predicting which actor would play which part, and including an image with them wasn't super common on the internet and plain old glossy magazines. Remember when they used to do this in InQuest? Used to have one once a month. For a modern version, here's majorspoilers.com picks for the upcoming mtg movie.
The only real problem I can see is that some actors are picky as to which photo you choose, and might cause a stink. Honestly, though, if something like that ever happened to multiverse, I'd expect the Streisand effect to start kicking in. We take down the card, and pick up a generous heaping of traffic.
Why wouldn't anyone be able to read the challenge? Doesn't the "Expand text" link show up underneath the card?
I somehow doubt many big names are going to appear in the MtG movie.
I bet Maro would love it if Joss Whedon directed, though.
well you should pick a reasonable photo that matches the character. anyway it should be okay since it falls under satire/parody. it's not considered defamatory, in fact we may help them get the role (if cards are done in a classy way).
Oh, I like majorspoilers.com's version.
And yeah, people use magic card mockups and reuse photos all the time whether or not they're technically allowed, I don't know whether there's any reason it's worth to do both together.
I nearly wrote a long footnote about the differences between libel, copyright law, trademark law, satire and fair use, but decided it didn't really add anything :)
Edit: I think the challenge is nice one, but I'm no good at imagining actors in different roles, and still don't get which planeswalker is which, so I don't know if I'll be able to make anything for it.
Jennifer Lawrence as Chandra, Extinguishing Fire and Joseph Gordon-Levit as Jace, Shaper of Reality.
Funny that the link doesn't have the hover picture.
Which link doesn't? I see previews including art for both Chandra, Extinguishing Fire and Jace, Shaper of Reality.

Added Karn, the Lost. I think, perhaps, I went about this challenge the wrong way. Thinking of a Planeswalker, then trying to find the right actor was very difficult. I'm going to try again later, but this time, think of an actor, then work my way backwards.
Angelina Jolie as Tomb Raider, uh, I mean Liliana, Grave Usurper
Cate Blanchett as Elspeth, Herald of Hope and Choi Min-sik Sarkhan, Dragon Shaman because tonight is not a good night for me to name cards.
Sarkhan is Furious with Nicholas Tse
totally forgot someone already made another Sarkhan card. next is white PW, so Ajani or Gideon since Elspeth has been proposed.
