Going to Smack

Joel Edgerton’s career is taking a drug-y turn.

The Aussie is circling the long-in-the-works adaptation of Gregory David RobertsShantaram (Johnny Depp was attached to star once, with Peter Weir directing).

The Great Gatsby star would play a heroin addict who escapes prison and re-invents himself as a doctor in India who helps strategize against Russian troops in Afghanistan. A director for this one remains to be advised.

Up next, though, Edgerton will get to work with Christian Bale on Exodus.
