Jim Caviezel has had a hard knock life in the movies recently – the Romans crucified him as Jesus in The Passion Of The Christ and then critics crucified him for golfing dud Bobby Jones: Stroke Of Genius.
And his life doesn’t look like it’ll get much easier with The Weinstein Company’s Outlander. Howard McCain has written and will direct the tale of a man from another galaxy whose ship crashes on Earth. He discovers that he’s arrived just in time for the Viking hordes to be rampaging across the globe, and if that wasn’t enough to deal with, he’s also brought a vicious alien predator called the Moorwen with him.
McCain cranks up his cameras in Canada this October, with creature and effects support from the heavyweight likes of Patrick Tatopoulos and Weta’s Richard Taylor.
