“The movie chose me”: the controversial 2004 role Kevin Bacon “couldn’t say no” to

|
By Scott Campbell

Credit: Far Out / YouTube Still It always sounds a bit wanky when actors say they were born to play a part, there was a movie they were destined to make, or otherworldly forces made the decision for them. When Kevin Bacon said it, it was questionable, more than anything else. For one thing, he’s always gone where the work is.

According to John Carpenter, though, it’s not without merit. In his defence, it’s not like he doesn’t have a point, at least to some degree. Has there ever been a sci-fi flick more innovative, ambitious, and influential than 2001: A Space Odyssey?
