Newsflash

Heath Ledger and Sean Penn are in talks to star in a top-secret drama by writer-director Terrence Malick, the man behind Badlands and The Thin Red Line. Ledger would play a lead role opposite an actress, yet to be cast, with Penn taking a supporting role. Details of the plot have not been revealed - often the case with Malick's films - but an insider told the Hollywood Reporter it was a "complex drama". Filming is set to begin in March.
Tree Of Life’s journey has been long and arduous. Like a third grade game of Oregon Trail, the script’s voyage has been chock-full of deserting actors, money shortages, and lots and lots of dead oxen. A few years ago, Colin Farrell was in talks to play the principle protagonist, but after a month long shooting schedule in India was announced, the well-endowed actor cut bait. Rumors once again began recirculating yesterday, and Farrell is nowhere to be found.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Sean Penn and Heath Ledger are amidst negotiations to take up the supporting and staring roles respectively. The general plotline follows, well, no one really knows what the Terrence Malick script is about. I’m guessing it’s not a sequel to Fast Times At Ridgemont High or Lords Of Dogtown. Maybe someday. Production is set to begin in March; so, expect to be seeing this during the Summer of ‘09 or slightly sooner.
