Also he has a new movie about Rembrandt starring Martin Freeman as Rembrandt.
whoa. okay.
I loved Greenaway when I was a film student (of course) but I haven't rewatched anything in years.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I noticed he's in the de-rigeur "You stuck the big man with the cute kid???" movie coming out soon, as well as having a role in the new Get Smart opposite Steve Carell. Only one of those projects looks like it has any promise.

I don't know that Vin Diesel and Hulk Hogan are the best models to pattern one's movie career after.

Oh wow, I so wanna see Eastern Promises RIGHT NOW (but of course since it's David Cronenberg, I'll have to cover my eyes for 50% of the movie).
And hey! the Guvanator did Kindergarten Cop. And Twins. And I actually enjoyed The Pacifier for all it's cute dumb for-the-kidsness. *hugs Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel* *but not Arnie or Terry*

But if you cover your eyes, you'll be missing Viggo stripped to his skivvies covered in prison tats!

Well, in the trailer he does. If he strips down further in the film, I'll be there on opening day!! (I love him in A Walk on the Moon--when he and Diane Lane are having their tryst in the river, he's so frickin' HAWT!)

I think he's the naked guy kicking the crap out of the other dude in the bathroom/locker room. Goes by pretty fast in the trailer.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Well, I'll whitefont this, but I read a bit about EASTERN PROMISE and Cronenberg said while they were working the logistics of a fight in a bathhouse, Viggo just said (paraphrasing) "I'll just lose the towel and go nude" knowing full well that Cronenberg was going to be filming whold body shots, not just upper.
So there's that.

Bless Viggo. Bless'm.
