EXCLUSIVE: Thomas Horn, the youth Scott Rudin saw as a 12-year-old Jeopardy! winner and then cast him to make his acting debut in the Oscar-nominated Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, has been set for two more feature roles. Now 14, Horn will star in the Sean McNamara-directed Space Warriors, about five kids who win coveted spots at NASA’s space camp and spring into action when something goes wrong aboard a space station.
He’ll then star with Kris Kristofferson in the Chuck Rose-directed Joe’s Mountain. In the film, Kristofferson plays a former ladies man who’s miraculously cured of cancer and tries to save a boy with bad lungs by taking him to a magic lake to heal him. Horn plays the kid. He’s repped by ICM.


love this bro! good luck!
I find this hard to believe. Both movie’s and directors seem a little straight-to-video sounding to me. If he wants to act I am sure Horn could/should/would attract a higher caliber script and director. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking on the part of whoever is making these films.
Well I guess you don’t know that Soul Surfer came out in theaters, and that was job well done. It did really well in box office too. It will also depend on who else is cast, since Thomas alone will not bring people to the theater.
This is kid is amazing. He is so engaging. Sean McNamara did a great job on Soul Surfer.
Maybe you should read Joe’s Mountain before judging. The script is really well done, and should do well on the Sundance/Toronto, festival circuit.
Thomas is a great kid who deserves every chance he gets. His parents are very kind people who are supportive of his choices…kick ass Thomas
