Gary Oldman set to Star in David S. Goyer Thriller
Gary Oldman (a.k.a. one of the greatest actors in the WORLD) has signed on to star in supernatural thriller directed by David S. Goyer. (the ‘Blade’ series) The film will also star ‘Cloverfield’s’ Odette Yustman.
YahooNews! give us these details:
The untitled project follows a 19-year-old girl (Odette Yustman) who is haunted by a dybbuk, the soul of a dead person barred from heaven, in the form of a young boy who perished in Auschwitz. Oldman would play the spiritual specialist who helps the girl.
Honestly, even if this project turns out to be pure crap, it is pretty much guaranteed that Oldman will give a worthy performance. (If he can do it in ‘Lost in Space,’ he can do it in anything!) Besides John Malkovich, Gary Oldman in my opinion is probably the most versatile film actor out there. Having him in this project has definitely peaked my interest. It’s also good to hear (and not surprising) that Cloverfield’s Odette Yustman is on the rise.
The film is set to start shooting in Chicago next month.

only those 2 movies? He is a true cameleon. You’ve probably seen him in other movies and didn’t even know it was him. I love him in everything I’ve seen him in. Fifth Element, The Professional, Lost in Space…etc. And damn he made the perfect Gordon in Batman.
