Caviezel to become an "Outlander"

By Matt Holmes /

James Caviezel is in talks to star in the sci-fi drama Outlander. It is not yet known if he is to replace the previously announced Karl Urban or if he is to star alongside him. The movie set in 509AD follows an alien crashing down to Earth releasing a monstrous creature which Caviezel and his viking tribe must destroy. Well at this point, it sounds like it could be really fun, or really really bad. I'm not sure if the combination of aliens, monstrous creatures and vikings could make a good movie? source - dark horizons, the orlando sentinel
