William Fichtner might be in Elysium



Posted by Anthonyon 07. 04. 2011in News Chat


There are few character actors I appreciate more than William Fichtner. He’s not a leading man of any sort but he does have a habit of delivering borderline outstanding performances when given the opportunity. Today we learn that he might be joining Matt Damon and company in Neil Blomkamps flick Elysium.

William Fichtner is in final negotiations to re-team with his “Contact” co-star Jodie Foster in Neill Blomkamp’s sci-fi epic “Elysium.”…
…While Fichtner’s role remains unclear, thesp is known as one of Hollywood’s more prolific character actors.

I like this guy a lot. I really began to take notice of the guy from his performances in Prison Break as his character went through multiple transformations throughout the series. I like this casting because Blomkamp is giving me the impression that he’s purposely casting actors with a particular type of range which inadvertently raises this movie higher on my ‘radar’. I’m growing increasingly interested in more news about this one…

      You mean Cheektowaga.

      • Megh says:

        Cheektowaga is a suburb of Buffalo, it’s much easier to say Buffalo when trying to describe where someone is from. Cheektowaga is literally about 10 driving minutes away from Buffalo.

        Anyways… William Fichtner is great.

        Buffalo represent!

      • Anthony says:

        It is easier. I just like to pick on folks from Buffalo. It’s SOOO EASY.

        And everything is 10 minutes from Buffalo, there’s just nothing to do when you get there, lol.

    • Anthony says:

      Picking on Buffalo is like picking on younger siblings. you know you shouldn’t but it’s sooo fun, lol

    Umm, pretty sure Buffalo is awesome. We invented chicken wings. So, you know, there’s that. And no one loves its sports like we do. Any other city would have just given up by now!

    But yeah, William Fichtner is all kinds of awesome, and a proud son of Buffalo/Cheektowaga!
