Robert Cargill, shows Wood en route to somewhere exciting while in town in Austin, Texas, where Wood’s production company SpectreVision is showing their virtual reality game Transferenceat Fantastic Fest, the largest genre film festival in the United States specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action.
As might be expected, the Internet instantly fell in love with the light-hearted photo of Wood and wasted no time in promoting it to meme status.
