I was sent a link to this article today where William Fichtner mentions his work on both Equilibrium & UltraViolet...
"His latest movie is UltraViolet. Geeks will recognize its director, Kurt Wimmer, as the director of 'Equilibrium' in 2002. "Kurt is a really smart gentleman. I had a really good experience shooting UltraViolet 1 1/2 years ago in Hong Kong and Beijing." Milla Jovovich plays "Violet", a woman with a blood-eating disorder, set in a futuristic world. "Milla is unbelievable", Fichtner says. "She has an inner torque, she is a super hero. I don't think anyone could have played her part better than she did, she was unbelievable, just like in Joan of Arc. She has such a commitment. I play Garth, a super-techie guy who is taken with Milla's character, but she is one notch above the ladder for him. I play a good guy this time, and I think that no matter what other roles I ever might portray for Kurt Wimmer, he will always ask me to play "good, underground guys". Fichtner played the leader of an underground resistance movement in Equilibrium. "This film had a huge internet underground following, of mainly teenagers. Many times I am stopped on the street by 19-year olds shouting "hey dude!", remembering me from Equilibrium, in specific". "

Although, most people disagree, and I would too, if I wasn't already a huge fan. Haha.
