Every once in a while we see a film that’s not really on our radar get a huge upsurge in interest based on the cast list that it builds. A great cast can definitely make or break a film which is why I’m always excited to see star actors join together to form a great ensemble.

I love me some time travel! Love it. I’ve always enjoyed stories about time travel and now we hear that Warner Bros. has optioned yet another graphic novel to be turned into yet another film that may or may not be anything like the actual comic. This time, however, I’m actually interested because the comic book series is called Hiding In Time.
