There already isn’t much difference between Jesus and aliens and thanks to Jim Caviezel the powerful men up in the sky will have even more in common. The good folks over at news.yahoo.com give us this:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ,” has signed on to star in the science fiction adventure movie “Outlander.”
The Weinstein Co. project centers on a man from another galaxy who crash-lands on Earth during the time of the Vikings. By accident, he brings with him an alien predator that he must destroy with the help of a Viking tribe. The film’s director, Howard McCain, wrote the screenplay with Dirk Blackman.
Vikings, predators and Caviezel oh my! Seriously this could be a cool movie, I love a good sci-fi and I haven’t seen Vikings in movies since Eric the Viking.
But there are some questionable circumstances surrounding the film. I looked up the director Howard McCain and his co-writer Dirk Blackman and neither of them have had much of a career so far, look at their imdb profile and you’ll see what I mean. Also the budget on the flick is only 32 million, if it’s was a movie about women knitting sweaters for their men overseas I could understand it. But a space alien Viking movie for 32 million seems a little cheap. So are they friends with Caviezel? Or do they have a killer script? If it’s a good script than this movie has hope and it makes sense that Caviezel is involved.
If Outlander is a lemon I wonder how easy it will be for Caviezel to resurrect his career.

It’s a great cast headed up by a great actor. Outlander was filmed on the east coast of Canada (Nova Scotia and Newfoundland) which cut costs dramatically. And those local folks really did a bang-up job (I should know, I was one of them!)
I have a few Outlander comments on my blog too from first-hand knowledge and believe me Caviezel, Hurt, Perlman & Co. pull off a hell of a movie.

Forget Snakes on a Plane! I’ll be first in line to see Alien vs. Vikings! :D
ya i agree with the last post i think cg is overated on creature effects(i really like the aliens series as do most of us). go outlander great book!
32 million isn’t too cheap. Hire up low cost talent, pay for a few CGI money shots of the crash landing, pick a forst, any forest, in the Chzeck Republic and BAM. Budget solved.
That said- bring this movie on. I’ll eat it up.
Kristina beat me to it.
CGI is what costs so much nowadays. Hopefully they’ll keep the unrealistic CGI to a minimum and stick to more traditional means of creating an alien.
An alien, vikings and Jim, 32 million should go a long way, colour me excited about this movie for sure.

Of course he can resurrect. He’s JESUS!!!
