See Double Viggo In This Trailer For EVERYBODY HAS A PLAN!
Nordling here.
I'm a little late on the news front, but there's a rumor going around that Viggo Mortensen might play Doctor Strange in a Marvel adaptation of the comic, and possibly might appear as the character in THOR 2. That casting sounds great to me (even if Viggo may be a little old for the role). He's a great actor, who brings real verisimilitude to his performances. I'd be very curious to see his take on a fantastical character like Strange.
Whether or not that happens, however, he's still getting lots of work in great roles, and this trailer for EVERYBODY HAS A PLAN looks to be no exception. Not only is Mortensen playing twins, it's a Spanish-speaking role - having lived in Argentina and Venezuela for much of his young life, Mortensen speaks the language fluently - and it looks like it goes to some pretty dark places, much like his role in A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. It's a terrific trailer, and I'm looking forward to seeing this whenever it opens:
No release date for the United States yet, although it's played TIFF and is open in Spain and Argentina. Hopefully we'll get some information on when it opens very soon.

I like double roles, used to do them myself. May watch this.
-
Right after Oldman.
-
He supports a football (soccer team) pretty fervently. He actually dressed in the teams colors for an oscar celebration.
-
The man's a craftsman when it comes to acting.
-
And the movie is an argentine production as well. You're just one google search away from not looking like a fool man.

The title "Everybody has a plan" makes me think of a happy go lucky romantic comedy

Not a dark foreign language thriller. Looks good though!

If the man can play Freud, well, it is a cinch to say I'll see him try about anything.

Also nice to see that while he flirted with super stardom, he returns to these small intense roles - like some veteran soldier still doing his workout regimen.

Viggo is one of the greatest actors alive, and it's too bad he isn't recognized more for it.

...a male Meryl Streep, what with all the flawless foreign languages, accents, ways of carrying himself, et cetera. This man deserves a steady stream of accolades. YOU HAVE MY SWORD.

...that movie was mediocre at best, but he gave a unique, fresh take on Lucifer...who fuckin' even sang...and I was, like, whoa...who the fuck is this badass?!?!?
-
Damn, he was in 'The Prophecy'? I should watch that again.

This might be the best twins movie since...well, Twins, and Dead Ringers of course. Love the Viggo, but he ain't got shit on Jeremy Irons.
-
... will always be Double Impact starring JCVD.

I love The Prophecy. Small budget and very much '90s straight-to-video fair but for a low-rent horror movie it's smarter than it needs to be. It pretty much hangs on Christopher Walken's performance, but he's great in it; Viggo however steals the show. Best on screen Satan I've seen (For the five minutes or so he's on). He's proper charming and frightening - gave the sister-in-law nightmares. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjq09PRgHOA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMmcCBEyEj0

I don't see it happening but if it's true I'm totally down with that. The guy is a great actor.

Make a 30 sec trailer with just Viggo's a name and I'll be sold
by onezeroone
He elevates... good material by his performance, and his performance above bad material.
-
I tells ya, he's gotta be up there right?
-
It's nice to see such unanimous praise for such an awesome actor. Would kill to see him and fasbender in a movie together. And Sam Rockwell, mr soze, you are on fire!
-
Switch identities, then kill him. I hate trailers that give it all away.
-
it might not be as straight forward as that. then again it might be!
-
He's been absolutely brilliant in everything I've seen him in. A Perfect Murder, Lord of the Rings, Eastern Promises, History of Violence. . .the guy is just an unstoppable force of acting awesomeness.

Thanks Nordling! I'd heard he was doing [another] Spanish language film...
by Ed Travis
.. and this looks pretty sweet! I think he played a Spanish speaking swashbuckler in a movie called Alatriste several years back, but I've never been able to track that film down and see it. Anyone catch that title yet?
-
I realised about thirty minutes in why the story was so familiar; it was based on Springsteen's 'Highway Patrolman'.<P> My favourite Viggo has to be as Master Sergeant in G.I 'Wish I Didn't See That Movie' Jane.
