10 Movies That Hired Famous Actors Solely To Kill Them Off
4. Julianne Moore - Children Of Men
When Julianne Moore appears in a movie you’re generally in safe hands, and even if it stinks she always does her best. Thankfully Children Of Men is one of the great ones, where she has a small but impactful role.
She plays the ex-wife of Clive Owen’s character Theo, who hires him to safely transport a mystery woman across the UK; only this particular lady is the first pregnant woman in a world that’s suffered eighteen years of infertility. In short, she's quite important. It looks like Moore and Owen will be her protectors throughout, only for Moore to catch a bullet to the neck at the end of the first act.
Children Of Men sets up that nobody in this horrible future is safe, and Moore’s bloody demise underlines this quite quickly.
