Everyone’s Favorite Executive Transvestite gets more honest work:
Eddie Izzard is to play a villain in the forthcoming comedy Super Ex, about a man (Luke Wilson) who breaks up with his superpowered girlfriend (Uma Thurman) only to regret it when she unleashes her powers on him. He will play Professor Bedlam, the jilted girlfriend’s nemesis. Filming of Super Ex, with Ivan Reitman behind the camera, is to start in New York this autumn.*
Ought to be a cakewalk for Eddie. After all, he’s played a villainous henchman, a (charmingly) lecherous movie-star, and a mercenary Q-for-hire.
Then there’s the whole bit about “evil herbivores” ….
