Jake Gyllenhaal will return to the Middle East and this time he will take Reese Witherspoon with him.
Gyllenhaal, Witherspoon For Rendition
According to Variety,
New Line has picked up Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon to star in their upcoming political thriller Rendition.
Gavin Hood will direct and Steve Golin will produce. Hood's recent work includes Tsotsi.
The multilayered story centers on a CIA analyst, based in the Middle East whose world spins out of control as he questions his assignment after overseeing the secret-police interrogation of a suspected terrorist.
The Middle East has been a hot topic in film of late with quite a few new projects coming our way including Paramount Vantage's A Mighty Heart and Who Killed Daniel Pearl?
Witherspoon can soon be seen in Mark Palansky's Penelope, which premiered at this year's Toronto Film Festival.
Gyllenhaal will next be seen in Paramount and Warner's Zodiac.
