Post Tnats not my cup of Genre.
I was thinking about THEM this week, because our copier sounds like the ants when it runs.
And I wonder, didn't James Witmore do other Sci-Fi/Fantasy flicks besides THEM?

And in particular...are there any actors these days who have yet to do a Sci-fi/Fantasy genre picture?

Well she was in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and provided a voice in Fantastic Mr. Fox. Those both have kind of fantastical elements.

yeah, it becomes hard when you include BOTH sci-fi and fantasy.

Has Reese Witherspoon been in any? Cause I totally can't think of a one.

Pleasantville would certainly qualify for fantasy and for Sci-fi she provided the lead voice in Monster vs Aliens.

She's also got a couple of marginal horror films on her resume, in the form of Fear and American Psycho, although there's certainly nothing supernatural or paranormal involved with either of those.

And the Holloween special worked pretty well too.

Witherspoon was in Just Like Heaven, where, if trailers are to be believed, she's dead but still doodling around. That's pretty supernatural, since she's doing more than just feeding the daisies.

She was also the ditzy valley girl angel in Little Nicky who had an affair with Satan.

I can't think of any of those types of films with Juliette Binoche in them.

I can: Leos Carax's Bad Blood. Which also features this completely wonderful sequence.
