Take a Chance on Mia?

摘要

For a couple of decades now, the stars of big movies have been trending younger, until it seemed that the next generation of the Hollywood elite would emerge not from high schools but from the womb. This summer, though, has brought good news for geriatric actors-those over 30. Harrison Ford, who at 66 is, in movie years, practically a sequoia, looked at least as vigorous as the Indiana Jones film he headlined. Comic-book epics also have middle-aged men in lead roles: Robert Downey Jr., 43, in Iron Man and 58-year-old Ron Perlman in Hettboy II. The cosmo-swigging quartet of Sex and the City range in age from 42 to 51, yet the film has earned about $350 million worldwide. Elders are getting a little respect. In action films and romantic comedy, old is new.
