From King's Grass to War

Image This week has been busy for Patrick Wilson. Just yesterday we reported that he joined the cast of the film In the Tall Grass, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, and today the actor can boast of another new project. Deadline reports that Wilson has signed on to star in the war drama Midway.

The film tells about the Battle of Midway - a major naval battle that became one of the turning points of World War II in the Pacific Ocean. The battle took place six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, in June 1942. America retaliated against Japan, resulting in massive losses to the Imperial Navy.

The director's chair of the project will be taken by Roland Emmerich, who presented the audience with such disaster films as Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Previously, the cast included Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans and Mandy Moore. Patrick Wilson in the film got the role of Edwin Leighton - Rear Admiral of the US Navy, who was a key American intelligence officer during World War II.

Emmerich will begin writing the Wes Tookie (Jean Claude Van Johnson) script next month. As for Wilson, at the end of the year he can be seen in Aquaman as Orm, the half-brother of the title character and the main villain of the blockbuster.
