a meek, small-town pharmacist stuck in a loveless marriage who rediscovers himself by starting an affair with a trophy wife, to be played by Jennifer Garner. After she introduces him to the pleasures of prescription drugs, things spin out of control when they begin plotting to kill her husband.Michelle Monaghan continued negotiations to co-star as Rockwell's wife, while Judi Dench already signed on and will serve as the film's narrator. Geoff Moore and David Posamentier are making their directorial debut with the indie film, and also co-wrote the script. The project is being produced by Occupant's Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino. Rockwell turned in one of his best dramatic performances in Conviction and before that starred in Iron Man 2. He will be seen next in supporting role in Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens as well as David Gordon Green's Jonah Hill comedy The Sitter, a remake of the ‘80s cult classic Adventures in Babysitting, which 20th Century Fox releases Dec. 9. I think Rockwell is a pretty good actor all around, but this movie sounds like it would be perfect for him because it's the story of an edgy comic thriller. I am not huge fan of Garner, but she might surprise us and do a good job. Stay tuned and check out the trailer for Conviction, the film based on a true story of a sister's (Hilary Swank) unwavering devotion to her brother (Sam Rockwell) arrested for murder and sentenced to life.
