The Men Who Stare At Goats

Friday, August 28th, 2009

It’s actually a non-fiction bestseller written by Jon Ronson tackling the U.S. Army’s exploration of New Age concepts and the potential military applications of the paranormal.

But hey, you have to admit. That’s quite a catchy title for a book. Right?

You can just bet Hollywood won’t stop with it simply being that. :-)

And true enough, latest news have it that the film adaptation of the said book is now out of production.

It’s starring 4 versatile actors that are great in any other genre, but seemingly at their best when in comedy. The upcoming offbeat comical flick casts George ClooneyEwan McGregorKevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.

And adding to the winning formula is the funny actor-producer-writer Grant Heslov who was tagged to direct the film.

If the guy looks familiar it’s because you might have seen him playing various roles in major movies like True Lies, Scorpion King, Congo, Dante’s Peak, The Birdcage, Enemy of the State, etc.

As with the book, the inspired-by-real-life movie offers glimpses into a secret Army unit tasked with creating soldiers with paranormal powers. Powers as strange as the ability to pass through walls, tell the future, and even the absurd “cloud bursting”. Now with just that description alone, the movie is already a must see for me. hehehe

And with the movie up for release this coming 6th of November, the latest trailer is now out.

I’m predicting that as more advertisements come out, clamor for this absurdly interesting movie will definitely increase within the coming months.
