MUST SEE PHOTOS: Actors revisit one of the roles that made them famous
For Empire Magazine’s 20th birthday issue, they got together an impressive handful of actors and photographed them in one of the greatest roles they’ve ever done. Most of these films are timeless and will be talked about forever.
I’ve been looking at these photos for the last hour frozen. They are insanely beautiful and the last 26 years of my movie watching life has just resurfaced. Thank you Empire, I’m now in love with you.
Check out every photo after the jump, and click on the image to see the full resolution size. From what I read, the photo of Jack Nicholson is supposed to represent ABOUT SCHMIDT. I don’t know about that. Either way, every single one of these photos are kick-ass!
