Michael Chiklis is on fire right now, and for good reason. He’s just about to be blasted across our screens in The Fantastic Four, and he continues to do great work in the TV series The Shield, now he’s moving into horror.
According to IGN through Rope of Silicon, Chiklis revealed that he’d just signed the deal for the Ghost House Pictures movie produced by Sam Raimi.
I think I am allowed to talk about it… I’m doing a picture called Rise with me and Lucy Liu, which is a thriller, horror genre.
“Sebastian Gutierrez [is directing]. He’s only done a couple of films as a director, but he wrote Gothika and a couple of pictures…”I’m really incredibly excited about John Toll being the cinematographer…’ He shot Legends of the Fall and Braveheart and he just most recently [did] The Last Samurai. [He’s] a real photographer, you know?
“That genre can be a little scary. I don’t mean at the theater, I mean it can be scary as an actor to get involved with a project like that because some of them are really well done and some of them are schlock.
I’ve a lot of time for Chiklis for his role in Shield, and I think we’ve yet to see his true talents on the big screen, so a different genre movie for him to tackle and this time without anything covering his face, could help us see just that.
Hey Nelida, I think they are going for another series, and I’m right there with you. I think he’s superb and plays a very “real” character. He has real troubles, real issues and makes real decisions. Very great actor. He’s pretty damn awesome.
Keep safe.
I am a soldier mobilized in Iraq. I have to tell you that after watching Michael Chiklis as Vic n “The Shield”; I have become a fan of his. I could not take my eyes away from the series 1/2/3, in fact I want to know if there is a # 4. I just love it. he is a great actor I trully saw his caracter as real. That is the best complement an actor can recevied. Today, I saw the Fantastic 4 and again I was pleased with his performance. Now,I want to know more about this greek man.
My mistake, think I was concentrating on Chiklis’ name too much. Great addition to the discussion though Larry, particularly good insight on the issue of Chiklis.
It’s Lucy L-I-U.
