Heathens Have a Sense of Humor

Nor do we do the whole "blasphemy" thing... and it's a good thing, too! Otherwise, given our rather "barbarian" past, there's a few folks in Hollywood who'd discover the meaning of the terms "blood eagle" for this:

Holy Hoskins! : Becoming a Norse God Fri, Jan 16, 2004, 07:01 AM PT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Bob Hoskins is divine. Or, at least, he will ascend to a godlike state when he assumes the role of Odin, king of the Norse gods, in the upcoming "Son of the Mask," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Son" follows the original premise of a character-changing mask set by 1994's hit "The Mask", but this time centers on cartoonist Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) whose baby son dons the mask of Loki (Alan Cumming), god of mischief. Wackiness -- aided by plenty of CGI effects -- ensues.

"Son" is currently shooting and also stars Traylor Howard. Larry Guterman ("Cats & Dogs") directs. The 61-year-old Hoskins is perhaps best known for his role playing the foil to the hilarious hare in 1988's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

The British actor was nominated for a best actor Oscar for 1986's "Mona Lisa." At the recent DVDX Awards, Hoskins, with his co-stars Jessica Alba and Brenda Blethyn, were honored for their acting in the straight-to-DVD "The Sleeping Dictionary", which will be released in February.

The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM.
