Wilson joins Hathaway in Passengers

By Matt Holmes /

Patrick Wilson has slowly built up a name for himself in the last year. After supporting stints in The Phantom of the Opera and The Alamo, 2006 saw him play the lead "male" roles in Little Children and Handy Candy, to decent critical acclaim. Continuing this trend, Wilson has signed on to play the male lead opposite Anne Hathaway in the supernatural thriller Passengers. Plot info from Coming Soon... "Passengers centers on a grief counselor (Hathaway) who helps six plane crash survivors and develops a special connection with one of them . When the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, she suspects a conspiracy and becomes determined to uncover the truth". I'm glad Hathaway's chosen a role in a different type of movie than what she is use to, I can't tell you how much her acting bored me in The Devil Wears Prada. She is a good actress for sure, but she really put in a lazy performance for that one. This might be worth a look then, a solid thriller is rare to find these days. source - the hollywood reporter, coming soon
