20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies
9. Kevin Spacey (Nine Lives)
The Role: Tom Brand, a business honcho who inexplicably gets turned into a cat, and is told that he can only become a human again by reconnecting with his estranged family within the next week.
Why It's Unexpected: Because isn't an actor of Kevin Spacey's caliber above a terrible-looking body-swap, talking animal movie like this? He typically makes incredibly smart choices, but this is about as paycheck-grabbing as we've ever seen him.
Will It Work?: Spacey will be just fine in a film that likely has little to do with his immense talents, but it's near-destined that the film as a whole is going to be a fiery trainwreck that won't be able to crawl above 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.
