Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges In Men Who Stare at Goats
Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges are in negotiations to star opposite George Clooney in the “Men Who Stare at Goats.”
Based on the book by the Guardian columnist Jon Ronson, “Men Who Stare at 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 (George Clooney), who claims to be a former secret U.S. military psychic soldier who was reactivated post-9/11.
The book’s title refers to the telepathic ability to kill farmyard animals with just a thought.
“Men Who Stare at Goats” chronicles the two men’s travels through Iraq and offers glimpses into the supposedly real secret Army unit tasked with creating soldiers with paranormal powers.
Jeff Bridges will play Bill Django, the founder of the psychic soldier program and Lyn’s mentor. Spacey will play Larry Hooper, a former psychic soldier who is running a prison camp in Iraq.
Clooney’s producing partner Grant Heslov will direct the film from Peter Straughan’s script.

Kevin Spacey - Interview
DarkHorizons.com interviewed Kevin Spacey about his new film titled “21” and during the interview asked him about returning as Lex Luthor in the next Superman movie.
Question: Was it this character, or this book that appealed to you?
Spacey: Well, it started with the story. I always thought that this story would be right for a film, and my business partner, Dana Brunetti, who, with a co-producer, we’d started hearing rumours about this, about a decade ago, and could never find any real evidence about it. It was sort of like an open secret in Boston, but we couldn’t get anybody on the record about it, and we even tried to write a treatment at one point, and that ended up in a drawer. And then about five years ago, Dana was walking down a New York City street, and he saw a Wired magazine with the cover story, “The MIT students who went to Vegas and made millions.” pulled it off the stands, and called me. Then, we ultimately tracked down Ben Mezrich, who’d written the article, and it was in connection with this book, which was going to come out about a month or two later, then at some point, made it to Los Angeles, and they optioned the book, and then we sold it to MGM, but didn’t know at that moment that, behind closed doors, MGM was being sold. So we went into a kind of holding pattern, until finally, Sony looked at the slate that MGM had, and decided to pull two movies out; one was James Bond, and the other was ours. And here we are, lo and behold, all these years later.
