Josh Hartnett's Early Horror Roles Kickstarted His Career
“Beyond the Sea” may divide audiences, but what is undoubtedly a highlight to that Black Mirror episode, is the bleak, painful performance from Josh Hartnett. Space isn’t the only place the actor has found himself within the horror genre. He’s been among monsters in 30 Days of Night and was a monster hunter in Penny Dreadful. Going back to 1998, Hartnett starred in back-to-back horror flicks during his breakout year. His talent at a young age is obvious in the movies that launched his career.
Which Came First, 'The Faculty' or 'Halloween H20'? Though The Faculty and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later came out around the same time, Hartnett actually signed onto The Faculty first. The actor clarified to HuffPost. “ Rodriguez gave me my first jump job and they were both Miramax and Dimension at the time," he said. "They saw a way to package me and make me sort of their young, new guy. So they said, ‘OK, you can do The Faculty if you do H20 as well.
‘Halloween H20’ Introduced Us to Laurie Strode's Son In H20, John is at his wits end with his mother’s fears that the Haddonfield Boogeyman would return. The Halloween series had gotten stuck in a convoluted, mythology-heavy storyline, and the 1998 entry, H20, was a return to the original 1978’s simplicity. What you see is what you get with John, which worked with the seventh installment’s clean slate.
Aliens Infect a High School in ‘The Faculty’ In The Faculty, Hartnett played Zeke, a super senior who knew enough science to make his own drugs, which proved to be harmful to the aliens who took over his school. It doesn't take long to realize Zeke’s mouth was quicker than his brain. Sure, he was intelligent, but he held himself back. Like in H20, Zeke showed that Hartnett could be charming and sarcastic.
