Chris Klein Talks 'Rollerball'
Tuesday, September 4, 2001 9:49 PM EDT
Chris Klein was pretty excited about signing on board John McTiernan's upcoming "Rollerball" remake.
While talking to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Cindy Pearlman, Klein spoke of his enthusiasm for the vehicle, saying, "It was a movie where I read the script and said, 'Yes, yes, yes.'"
He added, "Something inside you just says 'Whoa.' I play this guy who is down on his luck and lives for extreme sports. The movie is really about going from a zero to a superstar. It asks questions about government and sports hypocrisy."
Klein also spoke of the physical demands of the gig, saying, "I was in harnesses flying 30 feet above a concrete floor."
Sounds like fun - when you're not getting really hurt. Klein explains, saying, "I pulled my MCL muscle in my knee and got strep throat. Then I got this weird knot in my rear end. I crashed into walls every day, sometimes butt first."
"Rollerball" is scheduled to hit theater screens on the 2002 Presidents Day weekend.
