Kiefer Sutherland is best known for his no nonsense badass Jack Bauer on TV’s 24. A very well recognized federal counter terrorist agent. Now he is taking the big step into another role of authority. The Mall Security Guard. Well that is one mall I would walk softly in.
We have the first photo for the new Kiefer Sutherland horror tale ‘Mirrors’. He will star as a mall security guard who quickly finds something disturbing in the mall’s mirrors, and this sets him out trying to “discover the origin of the evil.” Alexandre Aja (“The Hills Have Eyes” and “High Tension”) is set to direct and has written the latest script for “Mirrors
My concern is that people associate him too closely with his TV role (despite his numerous other roles in film and TV) and may have a hard time seeing him as a security guard at the mall. This is the type of character employment best suited for underdog types like Seth Rogen (See Observe and Report).
Its not much, but it is the first I heard of the project. Keifer rarely disappoints on the big screen, so I hope his “demotion” is worth it.
