I'll have to see if "Reilly" is available on DVD and if Netflix has it. Have you seen the movie The Dish, with Neill as the head of a satellite relay facility in Australia at the time of the first Moon landing in 1969? It is a fun movie!
I am a hard core Sam Neill fan. I've seen almost all of his movies. Even some I wished I'd skipped afterwards! I loved The Dish and Children of the Revolution. I'd like to see more of his spy/thriller ones but they aren't easily available. I also liked him in Amerika; he does a Russian so well!
Did you see A Perfect Stranger? He still looks sexy even at 60! Not that I'm not that far behind....HeHe.
I think they wanted the boy from JP1; maybe they couldn't get him... I can't imagine what kind of story line they will use. According to the news release it is to be the true sequel from #1. Lost World Lite, maybe?
