    I remember his name in flight Plan. Heard oit was a crappy movie, so I didn't see it. But I did like the Lie to Me Pilot. I like the series period. With Willis and Freeman we'll give it a go.

    Now.... I want to hear some news on "The Losers"!!

    Well, it looks like Schwentke completely f*cked up The Time Traveler's Wife; we'll just have to see if Red follows suit...
    With Willis and Freeman, there's still some potential.

    Hmm, sounds familiar. If Willis and Freeman star should be good though.
