While I like Daredevil just fine I really long for Charlie Cox to be up on a big screen more often (and also play roles where "shaving his chest" isn't a priority) so hooray news! He is going to star in a movie called Stripped from first-time director Patrick O'Brien - unfortunately it's not an "All Charlie Cox Revue" version of Magic Mike that its title might imply, but all is not lost -- sexiness does sound integral to the plot. Via Deadline:
"The story follows Will Hickey (Cox), a married professional who becomes increasingly obsessed with a high-priced escort leading him down a dark path of deception and murder. Brittany Snow plays Will’s wife, Penny. The project is slated to begin production in Vancouver this fall."
Is it just me or is there something kind of hysterical about a character named Penny Hickey? Anyway I'm indifferent towards Snow (I don't watch those Pitch Perfect movies) and this director, though apparently a seasoned DP, is an unknown quantity, so this all hinges on Cox. Thank goodness Cox is enough. Cox has always been enough. And speaking of plenty of Cox, I missed a brand new photo-shoot of Charlie that's been around for an entire week! For shame, me. Let's hit the jumpand make that up then...
