More The Conspirator casting news
Posted by Jasmine with No Comments
Robert Redford has a killer cast for “The Conspirator,” the period drama he is directing about the aftermath of President Lincoln’s assassination.
Tom Wilkinson, Evan Rachel Wood, Kevin Kline and Alexis Bledel will join James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn in the drama, which is being financed by the American Film Co., a venture headed by online brokerage entrepreneur Joe Ricketts.
Shooting began Monday in Savannah, Georgia.
Wright Penn plays Mary Surratt, the only female charged in the conspiracy to kill the president, and McAvoy plays Frederick Aiken, the war hero assigned to defend her. Wilkinson will play Reverdy Johnson, the former attorney general who as U.S. Senator is the mentor to the young lawyer, and sympathetic to Surratt. Wood plays Surratt’s daughter, Anna, and Kline plays Lincoln’s War Secretary Edwin Stanton. Bledel plays Aiken’s wife, Catherine Morgan.

#9 on Empire’s 100 Sexiest Movie Stars
Posted by Jasmine with No Comments
James is #9 on Empire Mag’s 100 Sexiest Movies Stars list.
He’s a bit short and not as chiselled as others here, but there’s a reason that James McAvoy is in high demand as a romantic lead, and that’s because he’s smart, funny, geeky (see his Empire award win for Best Sci-Fi/Superhero last year), has that awesome Glaswegian accent and is very dashing when he puts his mind to it. And he’s got a fine line in movie-star kisses too.
Most alluring as… We’re going for Becoming Jane’s Tom Lefroy; like Mr Darcy with a bad-boy edge and a fondness for boxing.
Interests include… Reading sci-fi, watching Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek.

Nothing new related to James in The Conspirator but latest movie news that includes Justin Long joining the cast
Justin Long is joining James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn in “The Conspirator,” the historical drama that Robert Redford is directing.
“Conspirator” tells the story of Confederate sympathizer Mary Surratt (Wright Penn), who was tried as a conspirator in the Lincoln assassination, and Col. Frederick Aiken (McAvoy), who reluctantly agreed to defend her before a military tribunal.
Long plays a soldier who lost a limb in the Civil War and is McAvoy’s best friend and conscience.
Redford is producing with Wildwood Enterprises’ Greg Shapiro and Bill Holderman and American Film Co.’s Robert Stone, Webster Stone and Brian Falk.
The movie shoots in Georgia this month.
The period drama is a first for Long, who is known for his comedic sensibilities or horror appearances, and offers him a chance to show some versatility.
Repped by UTA and Principato-Young, Long recently wrapped romantic comedy “Going the Distance” opposite Drew Barrymore. He will next be seen opposite Liam Neeson in the supernatural thriller “After.Life” and with Michael Cera in Miguel Arteta’s coming-of-age comedy “Youth in Revolt.”
