Mojave Man

Seems going to Mojave is kind of hard.

Well, it is the desert....

I say that only because I feel like I have been reading about the forthcoming indie psychological thriller by that title, from the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Departed, William Monahan, for a couple of years now.

Garrett Hedlund stars in the project (which has been shot, evidently), as a suicidal artist who journeys into the desert to sort himself out and instead runs into his equally messed up (and dangerous) doppelgänger (Oscar Isaac). Jason Clarke – first cast in 2012 – also has a part in the film, as a baddie of some sort if memory of his casting item serves.

And now Mark Wahlberg has revealed, at the recent CinemaCon, that he, too, headed into Mojave. Alas, he did not say what kind of role he played.

And now you know.
