A Man to Be Seduced, Indeed

Alright, it’s time for a reality check: Taylor Kitsch’s summer did not go as planned.

John Carter was a bomb, Battleship disappointed, and Savages is doing OK as a sort of art film. It’s time to regroup.

And that’s what the actor is doing now that he’s signed on to co-star opposite Brendan Gleeson in The Grand Seduction, an indie remake of the French Canadan film La Grande Séduction.

Kitsch will play a visiting doctor in an economically imperiled Canadian village that Gleeson’s character tries to convince will stay for good as the story unfolds. Sounds kinda coming-of-age-y – and I likey.

Guess he’s a Kitsch Kraver, too.

Two Guys, A Girl, and a Whole Lotta Violence and Pot

Savages – that’s what this summer’s going to be all about, and not just for Taylor Kitsch who, in the eyes of many, needs to bounce back off the failure of John Carter.

I didn’t see the flick, so he doesn’t owe me a thing.

Besides, I’m a Kitsch Kraver through and through and wouldn’t mind catching it one mindless weekend afternoon.

But I digress.

Savages is the new Oliver Stone, and it looks hella intense. It’s an adaptation of the thrilling Don Winslow novel, and it features a star-studded cast that is making me salivate with anticipation.

I mean, there’s Kitsch and Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson as a couple of pot growers, but there’s also Blake Lively playing both their girlfriend (click here to find out what Kitsch thinks about that), the exciting John Travolta and Uma Thurman (playing roles I don’t presume will interact much, but, y’ know...reuniting nevertheless), and Salma Hayek as the ruthless Mexican cartel wife of Benicio Del Toro.

Check out the trailer:

Savages is due out on July 6, and I. Cannot. Wait.

Seriously with the Attractive!

Alright, I know we’re on the early side of thewhole giving out the awards, but the Battleship cast is the clear frontrunner in the Hottest Cast of 2012 so far.

I mean, hello, Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgård.

Heck, even Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker are making it beyond-jiggle.

One More Week

We’re a week away, Kitsch Kravers – in just seven days, John Carter will open, and the rest of the world will know.

They will catch wise to what we did after the second we saw him as Tim Riggins on TV’s Friday Night Lights.

Everyone will know Taylor Kitsch.

And that’s the way it should be.

Word.

The Age of Kitsch Is Upon Us

The new Disney action-adventure movie John Carter is not enjoying the best word of mouth, sight unseen, but that doesn’t mean you should dog on its star, Taylor Kitsch.

I mean, not that you could.

This is (was?) supposed to be the Friday Night Lights alumnus’ big-time welcome into the Hollywood scene, y’ know. Now, the once-much-anticipated flick has turned into a cautionary tale for overtly ambitious studios in flux.

Here’s to hoping John Carter surprises everyone, though.

If it has an untapped strength, that’s the to-be-discovered appeal of the Kitsch.
