The WB has sort of recanted and said that at least Oldman is just in
negotiations. I think it will end up with him in it and the rumours
just got out of hand, but we'll see I suppose...

I don't think there is a real SB/RL ship undercurrent. I think it can
be interpreted that way, but I just think it's a very strong
friendship. I think often times incredibly close relationships
especially male relationships sometimes come off that way, but it's
not an actual sexual thing. Kevin Smith talked about it on his Clerks
dvd (a movie that many seem to think illustrates a similiar point) and
he said (I'm putting this in less vulgar terms just so you know) that
the closest male relationships are pretty much one step away from
romantic. And I think that's true, but I definitely don't think there
is even a hint at anything sexual happening between Remus and Sirius
so I don't really see it as an issue. Plus I think it would seem less
"shipp-y" for lack of a better word if they had more friends (James is
dead and Peter is hardly a friend) so we don't see similiar
interactions that would make them just seem like a group of
fraternally close friends.
