He seemed on the verge of vanishing into the magical land of Christian Slater obscurity, but former Batman sidekick Chris O’Donnell is on the verge of a comeback. He’s shown up recently on Grey’s Anatomy, and now he’s landed a part in a big time blockbuster. Holy rusted metal Batman!
EW says O’Donnell has joined the cast of Max Payne opposite Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. The movie is based on the popular shooter videogame of the same name, and Chris will play an “executive” named Jason Colvin. Maybe that means something to those of you who’ve played it, but if it’s not Halo, I’m pretty clueless. Can this Colvin character be killed with dual needlers?
Executive John Colvin doesn’t exactly sound like a huge part in the film, but even if it isn’t it’s better than nothing, which is what Chris had going for him a couple of years ago. If Batman & Robin was going to destroy someone’s career, it should have been Clooney. Unfortunately it’s Chris O’Donnell who ended up taking the bullet. He’s overdue for resuscitation.
