marcicat | six degrees of ‘wikipedia ate my brain’

1. I saw a preview for Tron Legacy last night, and thought ‘gee, he looks sort of familiar.’ Wikipedia provided me with the info that Sam Flynn is played by Garrett Hedlund. Lo and behold, Garrett Hedlund also played Murtagh in the Eragon movie. (And Patroclus in the movie Troy.)

2. No discussion of four-letter movie names that includes Tron and Troy is complete without a shoutout to Thor. Thor will be played by Chris Hemsworth, who also played George Kirk in Star Trek. (Eric Bana, who was Nero in Star Trek, was also in Troy as Hector, the Prince of Troy.)

3. Thor is scheduled to come out in 2011, along with Captain America, both as part of the lead-up to the Avengers Initiative movie. Who’s playing Captain America? Chris Evans, who also played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movies.

4. It would be awesome if I could find a way to tie F4 back to Tron, but I’m not that dedicated. But this is why I like movies so much — because the more I recognize people, the more fun the movies become!
