Dennis Quaid is a grizzled industry veteran (his words, not mine). He’s played everything from ENEMY MINE’s Willis Davidge to rocker Jerry Lee Lewis to Wyatt Earp and even GENERAL HAWK in this year’s G.I. JOE. This week the veteran actor has the first of two Sci-fi/horror movies hitting screens. In Pandorum, which opens nationwide this Friday, Quaid plays Lt. Payton. Alongside co-star Ben Foster, Payton wakes up in a spaceship after an extended hyper-sleep. When the two finally get their bearings and start to figure out who they are (or so they think), they discover bigger issues than hibernation grogginess when some bloody thirsty alien-like creatures come stalking anything with a pulse. Bloody-Disgusting spoke exclusively with Quaid about both releases and what he looks for in the roles he chooses.
In the interests of accuracy, he hasn't actually played Wyatt Earp AFAIK. He was IN Wyatt Earp playing Doc Holliday to Kevin Costner's Earp (and doing a much better job than Val Kilmer in Tombstone).
Can't wait for this one! Good sci-fi horror is few and far in between. Seeing it opening night!
