#ArmyofOne: Russell Brand Joins The Cast

Russell Brand is set to bring you tears of laughter.

No stranger to the big screen, English actor Russell Brand, known for his roles in “Get Him To The Greek”, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, “Arthur” and “Rock Of Ages” has taken on yet another role in upcoming comedy film “Army Of One”.

Brand, who was previously married to Katy Perry, is reported to have joined director Larry Charles, the man behind “Borat”, cast which already features Nicolas Cage, Denis O’Hare, Ken Marino, Paul Scheer, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Rainn Wilson.

Scripted by Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph, “Army Of One” is loosely based on an article on GQ by Chris Heath about Gary Faulkner, an ex-convict with failing kidneys who made 11 attempts to travel to the most buoyant region of Pakistan to capture Osama Bin Laden, accoutred with only a sword.

The producers involved in the making of the film are James D. Stern and Emile Gladstone from Endgame Entertainment together with Dawn Ostroff and Jeremy Steckler from Condé Nast Entertainment. Julie Goldstein and Lucas Smith will oversee day-to-day production for Endgame, and Patrick Newall is serving as executive producer.
