casting details
The star from Billy Elliot has more than justified his potential as a leading man, which is why he would be a good match for Jack, Bio-Shock’s mysterious protagonist. Bell might still have a baby face, but he has come into his own physically in the past few years. There is a contrast between the softness of his features and the hardness of his physical presence which suggests a disparity between body and mind, one that serves very well in the character Jack. His remnant innocence is almost essential to the character who is hopelessly naive and faulting to a trust. Bell has not really carried a film since he was a child, but his recent performances in movies like Retreat and The Eagle suggest that not only has he physically stepped up to the plate, but is capable of giving nuanced and complex performances.
