Bob Hoskins joins Doomsday
Bob Hoskins was outstanding in the Garfield sequel but he will be most remembered in my twisted mind as Professor Challenger in the campy tv version of The Lost World. More to the flavour of his academy nominated stature, Bob Hoskins is announced to be joining the cast of Doomsday set to film in South Africa early February.
MoviesOnline sums it up as:
In DOOMSDAY, a lethal virus spreads throughout a major country and kills hundreds of thousands. To contain the newly identified Reaper, the authorities brutally quarantine the country as it succumbs to fear and chaos. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until Reaper violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, including Eden Sinclair (Ms. Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.
This idea sounds like it will make a great movie. Sort of an Outbreak for a new generation, with less monkeys. Well maybe there will be monkeys.

Sounds like it’ll be a cool movie, I like Hoskins too, he’s a very uniq and fun actor. Can’t wait to see the trailer. Oh ya, he was in Hook wasn’t he? I forgot about that. But I’ll always remember him as Mario from the Mario Bros. movie or Eddie from Roger Rabbit. :)

Oh the sarcasm never manages to escape you does it Wormwood?
I actually didnt see the sequel, I just found it interesting that this guy does so many varying degrees of movies. He was nominated for an Oscar… and was in Garfield.
The first Garfield movie is a grand favourite of my 4 year old. I have seen it more times than I care to admit.
