John Goodman has joined the cast of Warner Bros/Paramount's co-production of Jonathan Safran Foer's post 9/11 novel "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," opposite Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Rudin is producing.
Eric Roth wrote the adaptation and Stephen Daldry ("The Hours," "The Reader") will direct.
Warners and Paramount co-produced "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which Roth also wrote.
"Extremely Loud" focuses on a 10-year-old boy, Oskar (newcomer Thomas Horn), who finds a key in a vase that belonged to his father (Hanks), who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and searches to find the lock-box that goes with it. He encounters several people along the way who are dealing with their own grief in connection with the attacks.
Goodman plays a doorman in Oskar's apartment building who helps the boy exhume his father's coffin.
He recently wrapped Kevin Smith's "Red State," and appears in HBO's "Treme."
