    This is one of those rare timelines where they actually talk to the actor about all the movies I care about. Virgin Suicides, The Faculty and Lucky Number Slevin. Awesome.
  • I am so glad we are seeing more of Josh Hartnett these days. I grew up with him and always thought he was such a great actor. Can't wait for Trap!
  • To all the 35yr olds and up(I'm 38) we gotta say Thank you for actually posting this one because we as an audience who grew up knowing that Josh Harnett would become an awesome actor and seeing him in Oppenheimer and now the new M. Night film is like a fresh breath of new air. Seeing him as a respectable classy actor then and now is a rare class act we get to see nowadays. PS: my favorite film 🎥 of his is "Wicker Park" what's yours and why??
  • @IavoidReality
    His vocabulary is quite impressive actually. I'm excited to see him in more movies in the future, I missed him on the screen.
  • @palmerlp
    Among other things the guy is a horror icon across three decades. “The Faculty” and “Halloween H20” are quintessential 90’s horror, “30 Days of Night” is one of the greatest vampire movies ever made, “Penny Dreadful” is an underrated gem and “Trap” is gonna rule.
  • @zbennalley
    I'm glad he mentioned "O." I remember watching that in theaters, and the whole time, I kept saying to people he's going to be a great actor.
  • Josh Hartnett is a pleasure to watch on screen, he always manages to come off as genuinely humane and relatable. I can't wait to see Trap on friday, I think he's the perfect casting for the role. Also, Penny Dreadful is extremely underrated. Go watch it if you haven't!
  • A young Tom Hardy in "Black Hawn Down." Also, Showtime's "Penny Dreadful" co-starring Eva Green deserves more recognition!
  • Stoked he started acting again. When I saw him in Penny Dreadful I thought that might be a one off, probably one of my favourite roles of his. Taking that break I think did him well. That Black Mirror episode was bananas. Look forward to seeing his new film.
  • Watched Pearl Harbor over and over again. Fell in love with his voice and that "I got you" & "I'll go too, Sir" lines. ☺️🥰🥰☺️
  • I adore Josh ever since Penny Dreadful and I am SOOOO happy he got to talk about it a little bit here. That show deserves more love and attention!
  • @zantigar
    Am I the only one who thinks Josh Hartnett has only gotten BETTER with age!? He seems to have more depth and personality than when he was younger - he's settled into himself. I firmly believe his best is yet to come!
  • Lucky Number Slevin is one of the best films I've ever seen. Every role is perfectly cast and the writing and editing are incredibly tight.
  • Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, Halloween H20, The Faculty. Josh has been in some of my favorite movies.
  • @ironick5
    Josh Harnett is still a hearthrobe.
  • Wish they let him talk more about Penny Dreadful. The show was so different and played with all these classic monster characters so well.
  • @MrShortM
    Grateful for the inclusion of Lucky Number Slevin Such under-rated splendour of cinematography!
