He's more familiar than you think--if you're also a nerd.
So I was first going to post this guy, Karl Urban, as the doctor from Star Trek, but after looking him up on imdb, this guy was a bad guy in The Bourne Supremacy, a king from the Lord of the Rings movies and was in Xena. And to top it all off he’s from New Zealand. Done and done.
Earlier Meredith mentioned her excitement for the Star Trek movie and I totally mirror that sentiment. I grew up with an older brother who forced me to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, so I got into the show. (High five sibling bonding time via television.) Anyway, thanks to him I am a sci-fi nerd which means that in addition to being stoked about Star Trek, I’m also psyched for Wolverine, which comes out this weekend. It’ll be cool to see how Logan got turned into a mutant as well as a young Cyclops who can’t control his crazy laser eyes.
I’m not really a big Hugh Jackman fan, I mean he’s cute and has an accent, but eh, doesn’t really do it for me. But you know who does? TIM RIGGINS. Yeah, Taylor Kitsch is in this movie with that sexy southern drawl. Also featured? Ryan Reynolds. Mmhmm. So in terms of the man candy that the movie execs bring in so that girls will see the movie? I’m sold.
Here’s the preview so you can get into it too. Seriously? This movie is gonna be SO GOOD.
