Interesting casting, as Cusack doesn't favor Wilson much at all physically. But he's a good actor and his potential casting give me hope this could be decent.
It is hoped that Cusack, 46, will play the musician in later life, and the film will focus on Wilson's long battle with mental illness. Paul Dano, previously seen in There Will Be Blood, has already been confirmed in the younger Wilson role.
Bill Pohlad is directing the film from a screenplay by the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of The Messenger, Oren Moverman. It is said to be an unconventional look at Wilson's life that "reimagines seminal moments … from his artistic genius to his profound struggles and the love that keeps him alive".
