Lost’s Rebecca Mader has been tapped to join an A-Team for Men Who Stare at Goats. We get the following skinny from our friends at comingsoon:
Rebecca Mader (ABC’s “Lost”) is in final negotiations for the lead female role in Men Who Stare at Goats, the George Clooney- and Grant Heslov-produced adaptation of the book by Jon Ronson. Heslov is directing.
“Goats” is set in Iraq and centers on Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), a desperate reporter who stumbles upon the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), who claims to be a former secret U.S. military psychic soldier who was reactivated after 9/11. Mader will play McGregor’s wife. Stephen Lang also joins the cast that includes Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges, playing an intelligence officer.
Not only does this film have a fantastic title but the cast is spectacular. Mader joins a hall of greats with this one and should be very pleased to be part of this ensemble. Clooney, Spacey, Bridges, McGregor makes for quite the dude list; it’s always a treat to see so many talented actors together riffing off of one another. I am glad all of these avengers are assembling under the sign of the goat.
Verily Ba’al (in goat form) has brought us excellence once again. I sip sap from the oaken goblet in thanks to the lord of Hollywood.
I look forward to this one and will be sure to shoot you the details as they are made available to us.
gimme a break. these roles were at scale. unthinkable that only stars get a chance at even the smallest of roles. time for fresh talent.
What a cast indeed!
George Clooney is starting to really impress me by making a lot of challenging movies. Ewan Mac, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Lang, and Jeff Bridges? Rebecca Mader was really good in the show “Justice”.
Stephen Lang should’ve received an Academy award by now. Probably for BSActor for Gods and Generals, Gettysburg or maybe even for Tombstone.
