Nathan Fillion Is Chilled In Miami

Nathan-Fillion-Chilled-Miami.jpgNathan Fillion (a good Canadian boy)has to be the poster boy for the “I just can’t catch a fricken break” foundation. The man is insanely talented, carries an on-screen charm that rivals Jimmy Stewart, is as good looking as any of the top “heart throbs” out there in Hollywood today, appears in some brilliant stuff… and yet nothing ever seems to work out for this guy (granted, that’s a relative thing, since he is still a movie and TV star and I’m writing on a website). Fillion should be a MAJOR “A” lister, but the reality is he’s not even considered a “B” list guy right now, and that’s a shame.

Anyway, word is he’s just signed up to co-star with Renee Zellweger in a new comedy called “Chilled In Miami”. The folks over at Movieweb give us this:

Fillion is set to star alongside Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. in this film about a Miami businesswoman who gets transfered to the chilly state of Minnesota. It’s unclear what Fillion’s role would be, but he joins a cast that also includes Siobhan Fallon Hogan, J.K. Simmons, Frances Conroy and Rashida Jones. The film is currently shooting in Winnipeg.

For those of you who may not know, Winnipeg is NOT in Minnesota, but rather a city in Canada west of Ontario and East of Saskatchewan. It’s also one of the coldest cities I’ve ever been in… so it’ll work for that movie for sure.

  1. I love him in every way possible, I would totally have his babies and I don’t even like kids! LOL

    On a serious note, I think he is a fantastic actor and if he keeps plugging along, he will get his dues for sure. He definitely deserves to be up there with the A listers.

    And Nathan, if you are reading this, call me! :)

  2. i agree sfsilver….

    to say he has charm that rivals jimmy stewart is up there with some of the silliest things I have read here.

    look I like fillion but the guy just doesn’t have the extra pizazz…that extra thing that guys like harrison ford had (and hopefully still has) or even what clooney has.

    there are TV stars and then there are movie stars…fillion i’m afraid is a TV star….

  3. Yeah he’s currently in that unpopular flop Desperate Housewives. Last on the big screen in the critically reviled Waitress. Now cast in a Renee Zellweger film. It definitly sounds like he’s on a stalled career trajectory.

    Seriously though he has his charms (I’m a fan), but I think you grossly overstate his appeal, seems to me he’s got the slowly growing career and popularity someone of his above average but not spectacular talent warrants.

  4. He stands out in all the movies and shows he’s in but sadly they just don’t seem to catch on. I’d like to see him in more because I really do enjoy his work, not to mention he has great comedic timing.

  5. Nathan has starred in great shows like FireFly and Drive… both of which were prematurely canceled. He has a great charisma both on the tv screen and the big screen. Yet as you have said… he just cant get a break.

  6. I completely agree that Fillion should be a much bigger star by now. I humbly admit my heterosexual man-crush for this man and hope the rest of the world soon realizes what a great personality he is.
