Holding court for an assembly of journalists yesterday in Los Angeles, Sir Anthony Hopkins gamely talked up his upcoming thriller The Rite , in which he plays a seasoned Jesuit exorcist mentoring a skeptical seminary student (newcomer Colin O’D onoghue) in Rome. Sitting across from the Oscar-winning actor, one thing was clear: At 73, Sir Anthony has, to borrow from Plato, achieved a great sense of calm and freedom. Like, the freedom to do whatever the hell he wants, whether it’s starring last year in Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger , getting hairy in the uber flop The Wolfman , making a special appearance in low-budget B-movies about female cage fighters , or playing a Norse god in this summer’s big-budget Marvel adaptation Thor .
