Villains We Love: 'The Lost Boys'
Filed under: Fandom »
Yes, Barnard Hughes' Grandpa stole all the thunder, between his Windex aftershave and his casual, his epic closing line, and his nonchalant way of staking the head vamp and saving his family from a pesky future of bloodlust. But the Big Bad that he killed, well, he's my favorite part of The Lost Boys. Forget the Coreys, Kiefer, or Jason.
Edward Herrmann, well before his riche Richard Gilmore years, was the most unlikely head honcho of evil. Tall, awkward, with big, thick glasses and a seemingly huge heart, Max was the video store geek. It was a look he used to his advantage, pulling off the persona of well-meaning new boyfriend for Dianne Wiest's Lucy. He knew how to be charming, considerate, and just reserved enough that you weren't quite sure if it was all for real.
Then again, maybe things would have been different with deleted scene #11 (see it after the jump). When Max describes Lucy as a lioness with her cubs and growls, I'm sure it would've given it all away. Okay, I kid. But sometimes the villain needs to be ridiculous. Not every baddie can look tough, or scare us to the bone. Just sometimes, they have to be the super-tall nerdy dude with bottle glasses and one unsexy vampire face.
Edward Herrmann: Father Figure of Jesus
Filed under: Comedy », Casting »
There's even more casting news on the Son of Mourning front, which is making this whole flick seem even sweeter. However, before I get to that, the project got itself a name change. In the casting news that went up at The Hollywood Reporter, it's said that the film will drop the "U" and now be called Son of Morning. That's ... a totally different tone.Anyway, on the heels of a couple Sopranos stars, Jesse Bradford, Steven Weber, Bob Odenkirk, and the ever-wonderful Edward Herrmann have signed on to the satire. The movie stars Joseph Cross as a copywriter who goes home to think over his parent's divorce, and "after a series of environmental disasters, is mistaken for Jesus Christ." How does that work? Does a hurricane hit that has clouds shaped in such a way that they look like this guy? Does he go to a costume party dressed as Jesus when all this badness hits? I don't get it.
Of course, people like Bradford, who plays a Hollywood agent, and Weber, who plays a lieutenant governer, descend upon the poor dude to capitalize on his new-found fame. Odenkirk will play the guy's co-worker, and finally Herrmann will be the new Jesus' father figure and mentor. You can't do much better than that.
