It’s not at the level of absurdity of, say, casting Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist inThe World Is Not Enough, but I do have to look somewhat askance at the recently crowned “Sexiest Man Alive” Chris Hemsworth as the only computer hacker with the skills — sorry, skillz — to prevent the hackpocalypse in Michael Mann’s Blackhat.
But as this new trailer for the movie shows, it appears hacking involves a lot more running, punching, flying to distance locations and trying not to hit by explosions than I knew, so mayb Hemsworth is the sexy man for the sexy job. I thought hacking mostly meant sitting at a keyboard; more the fool me, I guess. Still, I have to say this for Hemsworth — I find his hacking skills a lot more believable than his accent.
