We really like Paul Walker here – he’s a solid actor and a handsome chap that never seems to get the material that he deserves – although we could never claim that the Fast movies aren’t fun. However, we’re likely to see him flex his dramatic muscles in the upcoming Hours.
Hours is a drama that follows a recently widowed father who attempts to keep his premature baby alive during the storms of Hurricane Katrina.
Hours looks set to showcase the star’s dramatic weight and acting talent, so we are rather excited about this slight change of direction. However, this role does come with a downside – the likelihood of him taking his top off has been significantly lowered. Sigh.
Hours is directed by Eric Heisserer and co-stars Genesis Rodriguez. It will be released in the US on December 13th 2013, followed by a straight to DVD release in the UK during 2014.
