THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

Here is an interesting movie that I ran across on Slashfilm.com. It is a movie that stars Ewan McGregor and it's about spies, but in a strange way. It has been adapted from the book Jon Ronson's book titled The Men Who Stare At Goats about a group of Military Specialist that are trained in ancient Chinese mind techniques that build "unparalleled psychic powers to read enemy's thoughts, pass through solid walls and even kill goat simply by staring at it."

It looks pretty cool and with the cast involved including George Clooney, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges it's gotta be good. It's more of a dark comedy along the lines of Burn After Reading and with Jeff Bridges returning to comedy again it's going to be silly and you will get some laughs if you can find it. The movie will open at the Toronto International Film festival and will be in limited release November 6th. Another interesting tid bit this movie was on the black list for 2006. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a list of the best unproduced screenplays for the year so it's pretty well written.
