In 1998, filmmaker Gus Van Sant released his remake of 'Psycho,' starring Vince Vaughn in the role of iconic serial killer and hotel owner Norman Bates.

The European thriller 'Everybody has a Plan' has a familiar but usually successful hook. What if you could swap identities with someone else? Here the lead characters are played by Viggo Mortensen, a mild mannered and bored married man who enters his twin brother's world of crime.

Consider this rumor, albeit a very exciting rumor for superhero movie fans. A handful of sources have suggested that Dr. Strange, the Marvel Universe's magic wielding "Sorcerer Supreme," will be introduced in the about-to-shoot 'Thor: The Dark World' and could be played by the one and only Viggo Mortensen.

Viggo Mortensen's name isn't mentioned enough in movie news. He's one of the best actors we have in the business today and any role he's attached to is guaranteed to make us buy a movie ticket. And with this new role he's been offered, we'd be more than happy to sink our teeth into watching him play a part in a new vampire tale.
