For most every person in the entertainment business, working with the legendary Morgan Freeman would be a dream. But, for actor Wil Wheaton, the experience working with Freeman on Maps on the Wall was quite strange.
"He had no idea who I was" Wheaton said of the elder talent. "Granted, Maps is the first thing that I have worked on in HTG Hollywood. But he's not ignorant of, let's say, nerd culture. He's been around. But he honestly wasn't aware of my work. Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stand By Me. My guest spots on The Big Bang Theory. Even my former podcast. Oh, well. At least I got to work with a great man and a great actor. I learned a lot."
However, Wheaton did add that Morgan Freeman did have an odd habit.
"He kept mumbling 'I miss Andy.' Over and over and over. Weird, huh?"
Maps on the Wall is a post-Earth sci-fi film. In the 22nd Century, the last survivors of humanity desperately search for a new world they can make their home. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it stars Morgan Freeman as Dr. Enders, the expert xenobiologist who leads the search. Co-starring as his faithful assistant is Eliza Dushku. The command staff features Jet Li and, making his HTG debut, Wil Wheaton. The Possum Lodge Studios release of a film from Lucian opens on July 1.
