Jamie Foxx and Lucas Black Join Jarhead
By James Wray Oct 21, 2004, 12:29 GMT
Jamie Foxx and Lucas Black are set to join Jake Gyllenhaal in the Sam Mendes-directed Jarhead at Universal Pictures.
The drama is based on Anthony Swofford's Persian Gulf War memoir. Drawing on his own experiences as a Marine grunt in Vietnam, Broyles wrote a script that studio and producers felt captured Swofford's voice and vivid descriptions of war.
Gyllenhaal is to star as Swofford. Also cast are Laz Alonso, Brian Geraghty, Jacob Vargas and Evan Jones.
Filming is due to start in December, with shooting to take place in Los Angeles and El Centro, California, the latter being used for the Saudi Arabia scenes. The actors are to undergo boot camp training in November.
The planned release for Jarhead is September 30, 2005.
