 OH NO!! My worst fear has been officially confirmed!! Oldman to play 
Black!! lol And I was preparing to lead a campaigne against it...he 
he..I might as well get used to the idea...maybe they will do some 
fancy camera work to get around the height thing...

Me:
>From what I've heard, there are lots of really simple filming tricks to make actors look taller or shorter. I should expect that if it's felt needed to make Oldman seem taller, it'd be very simple to do so. (I'm among those who love the idea of Oldman and Sirius, and think that he /is/ goodlooking if you find the right pictures. He's just purposely made to look unattractive in many of the movie's he's been in.)
