Henry Cavill is a very pleasant bloke with the chiseled face and presence of a star. The fact that he hasn't quite become one already surprises me, but he's going to get his day sooner or later. The man missed out on playing James Bond, Clark Kent and Batman by this much, so obviously he's got Hollywood's attention. (And not just because he was featured in "The Tudors" or was in Hellraiser: Hellword either.)
Next year will see him star in his first major Hollywood epic, Immortals, which will absolutely thrust him onto a bigger stage; but before that comes out (next November), he'll be thwarting kidnappers in The Cold Light of Day, a thriller being made by Summit Entertainment and Intrepid Pictures.
The story centers on a cocky young Wall Street trader who reluctantly vacations with his family in Spain. When his family is kidnapped, he is thrust into a government conspiracy and must unravel his father's darkest secret in order to save his loved ones.
The film is being directed by Mabrouk El Mechri, who last helmed the unusual Jean Claude Van Damme action-drama JCVD. Crime novelist extraordinnaire Richard Price is re-writing the original script, which was penned by Scott Wiper and John Petro.
