Does Josh Hartnett look at Ethan Hawke's career and say, "Are those the movies I'll be doing?"

Has Josh Hartnett done anything recently? The last movie I remember seeing him in was 30 Days of Night and that's like half a decade old now.

Yeah, Hartnett used to be a big thing. I know he's got a Roland Joffe project he's starring in this year, but Hawke seems like he's in almost everything now, including another (and probably the last) Richard Linklater's Before... movie. Also, Hawke's got a good 8 years on Hartnett.

It's an international film adaptation of a French science-fiction novel, with a Korean director (Joon-ho Bong, of The Host) and an English-speaking cast (Chris Evans, Tilda Swanson, Ed Harris, and John Hurt).

I'd happily watch anything that director makes and although I usually hate character posters these ones are gorgeous.

Ed Harris and John Hurt in the same movie. Going to be pretty drat crusty!

It just feels like they are the same type of actor so they'd be expected to do the same type of movies. Dillon is the same way and Hawke is right now doing roles Dillon used to get, would have got or is getting. So I just see Josh Hartnett as a relatively popular actor back in the day whose face is probably just starting to look 30 something and so that's likely to lead to these kind of roles.

You know, like how Costner and Ford were always up for the same roles or how any movie Matt Damon does, you could see them trying to cast Mark Whalberg for it and vice versa.

The only movie of his I've seen since that one is Girl Walks Into A Bar, and I can't even remember his role in it if that tells you anything.

Hartnett is a mediocre actor who just lucked out on a few entertaining movies. Tatum went from having absolutely zero acting ability to proving he had some comedic chops and sweet dance moves. Plus his name is so awesome. It's like, better than any fake Action movie protagonist name.

Haha do it. That or Star Trek V.

Saw him at a convention recently and a friend got him to sign a Zapp Brannigan glossy, also signed by Billy West. He feigned* ignorance of the show, despite doing an entire episode of it.

If I remember correctly, they had some line like "When I grew up in Austria..." in Commando, when Arnie is talking to Alyssa Milano in the beginning. I am sure of it. Or I might have dreamt it. Either way, it happened.

Almost every Van Damme movie aknowledges his accent and tries to come up with some explanation. From what I can gather the most common explanation is that he's French, from Canada (the French parts) or the French quarters of New Orleans.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
Mondo Man of Steel posters:

First up, this incredibly boring piece (and its variant) from Ken Taylor:


quote:

Poster by Ken Taylor
Dimensions: 20″x36″
Edition: 300 (Regular) ; 150 (Variant)
Price: $50 (Regular) ; $75 (Variant)

On sale Thursday, June 13th at a random time at https://www.mondotees.com[/quote]

And then this very nice looking, but still flawed (what is wrong with Jor-El and Faora's faces!?) poster from Martin Ansin (and its metal variant):



quote:

Poster by Martin Ansin
Dimensions: 24″x36″
Edition: Regular edition TBD ; 130 (Metal Variant)
Price: $50 (Regular) ; $300 (Metal Variant)
For the second, Mondo is going to be selling the regular edition for three days starting Monday June 17th. This means there's no artificial print run of it, and you don't need to rush to get it. You have until the 20th to buy it at any time you please.
The metal one will be sold Mondo's regular bullshit way on Friday.

You know, if I ran a company called "familyfunfeatures" making, what I assume are family films, I would at least familiarize myself with the films that I am giving the cast credit for before slapping them on the poster.


Lynn Lowry: "The Crazies" may sound like a family film involving some wacky hijinks, but wait 'til they get to the part where her plague infection character has sex with her own father!




Then again, "The Crazies" is a film, and they are a family, and that is the most wacked up hijinks there could possibly be.

So maybe it is appropriate.
