I think there's a new strategy on the Hollywood market to make long forgotten actors relevant again. Do you remember Kevin Bacon in "The Following"? Yeah? Me too. Well done, mate.
This year's not gonna be any less crazy. We have Karl Urban (Star Trek) in "Almost Human", Giovanni Ribisi in "Dads", Michael J. Fox in "The Michael J. Fox Show" and Robin Williams in "The Crazy Ones". TV shows today surely have a different stand than ten years ago...
Also, there's Steve Zahn and Christian Slater in "Mind Games". I always loved Slater, though in the last years it was very quiet around him with only minor parts in mediocre films.
The premise of "Mind Games" is the following: two brothers - one bipolar, the other a con man - run a problem solving firm that offers solutions based on psychological manipulation.
Bipolar disorder has been proven interesting after watching Carrie Matheson in "Homeland" suffer through all different kinds of emotional outbreaks. Judging from the trailer Zahn seems to be doing a good job as well and Slater could profit from that.
