Wow, I never heard any peeps on this one, but the oh-my-god-not-another-remake-of-a-classic-that-doesn’t-need-a-remake remake The Hitcher has cast its Hitcher and person in distress role.
Julian McMahon has been cast in the Rutger Hauer role in the upcoming Michael Bay produced remake of The Hitcher.
McMahon will be terrorising the gorgeous (and “so hot right now”) Jessica Biel and filming is to begin within the next few months.
Thanks for the news Gazz, and I like you thought that McMahon would have made a good Bond until I saw Fantastic Four which shows that he can actually play a baddie pretty well, that and of course that witchey telly program! Since seeing him last night though, and now thinking of the Hitcher role, I think they’ve hit it pretty well. Sure the Doom role isn’t deep or meaty, but he carried it off pretty well and you could see the spark of madness at times, I think it’s a great casting.
As for the kid being chased…they had to go and make it a lady didn’t they? At least they’ve cast a lady and a half! I still think there’s no need for this, and I actually thought a lot of the attractiveness of the movie was because it was man against boy, the chemistry between the two was superb. Now the casting is great, but chemistry? Is MacMahon a bit too clean cut? What do you think?
