Catherine Keener and Vince Vaughn are ready to get wild with one another and head off to Alaska to freeze their asses off.
Vaughn, Keener for Into the Wild
According to THR, Paramount Pictures has picked up Catherine Keener and Vince Vaughn to join the cast of Into the Wild. The film will be directed by Sean Penn with Paramount's new specialty division handling distribution.
The film, adapted off the book by author Jon Krakauer, chronicles the true story of Christopher McCandless, who graduated from college in 1992, abandoned his possessions and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness and return to nature. He died four months later in an abandoned bus at a remote campsite.
The two join Emily Hirsch who had already been signed on to star in the film.
Keener's character picks up the hitchhiker and takes him in as a surrogate son. Vaughn plays a tow-truck driver whom Hirsch's character meets on the road.
Catherine Keener has been keeping busy with her roles in 40 Year-Old Virgin, Friends with Money and Capote.
Vaughn, who smashed the box office with Wedding Crashers, can be seen in the upcoming romance comedy The Break-Up opposite Jennifer Aniston.
