Give me a sequel to Event Horizon or In The Mouth of Madness, not another Jurassic Park. Please and thank you.

He may be the coolest male movie star, right up there with Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling.

Sam is an absolute legend in Australia & New Zealand. He has lived & worked in both countries from the beginning of his career. There will be universal rejoicing at this news.

That quote hits different when you consider how near-death experiences fundamentally reshape people's relationship with time and purpose. The psychology of post-trauma creative resurgence is fascinating.
