Last week it was reported that "The Tudors" star Henry Cavill just nabbed his second leading man role (after Immortals) in The Cold Light of Day, a kidnapping thriller set in Spain. Now, a few more names have boarded the project - and big ones to boot.
According to Variety, action heroes of yore Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis are in talks to star in the flick, which is being directed by JCVD helmer Mabrouk El Mechri.
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.
