John Cusack To Attend The Numbers Station
27 October 2011 12:00 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
I won’t lie, I have all the time in the world for John Cusack. The man who brought us Being John Malkovich, Con Air, Grosse Pointe Blank, Identity and High Fidelity seems to rarely put a foot wrong and as that list shows, frequently puts it very right. The trailer for The Raven looks absolutely stunning, but time and tide wait for no man and so his head turns to other projects.
Next up for Cusack looks like being The Numbers Station, which will see him play a black-ops agent, who having messed up finds himself in a seemingly dead-end job, watching Malin Akerman (Watchmen, The Heartbreak Kid)’s code operator at a CIA broadcast station. No doubt all will turn out to not be quite as it seems, the isolated station will be set upon and the seemingly lowly code operator will turn out to be caught up in something very serious indeed. »

In an interview with Larry King, Depp said that the biographical movie will likely feature a combination of live action and animation.
"It's something we're developing with Seuss' widow, [Theodor] Geisel's widow," he said. "It's a very exciting possibility, because it's a combination of live-action and ... the characters will certainly have a role."

John Cusack Checks into The Numbers Station

John Cusack, fresh off solving murders as Edgar Allen Poe in “The Raven” and in the midst of playing a real-life serial killer in “The Frozen Ground”, has signed up to play a disgraced CIA black ops agent in the actioner “The Numbers Station”. He replaces Ethan Hawke, who was originally attached to the role. Cusack will star opposite Malin Akerman (“Watchmen”), who will play a code breaker at a remote CIA station in the Nevada desert. It’s a dead-end job for Cusack’s character. That is, until bad guys show up and try to turn the two of them into Swiss cheese. Time to summon your inner Martin Blank, Cusack. Danish director Kasper Barfoed (“The Candidate”) will make his Hollywood debut on the film, directing from a script by Scott Frazier »

Forget Three -- John Cusack Is a Magic 'Number'
25 October 2011 7:45 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Guys like Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Robert Downey Jr. are awesome, but for our money, the most underrated superstar in Hollywood is John Cusack. For the past quarter century, all the guy has done is turn out one indelible performance after another, both in classics ("Say Anything") and in films that should have been complete crap but were actually pretty fun just because he was in it ("2012," anyone?).
But can even Cusack make math cool?
Well, we're about to find out, because according to Variety, Cusack has just signed on to star in the upcoming thriller "The Numbers Station" -- and with Cusack on board, we have a feeling the only number you'll need to know now is number one.
Before you start thinking this is some kind of esoteric art film about the search for Fermat's theorem or the existential angst surrounding a Lotto distributor, have no fear: It's actually a spy movie. »

John Cusack Replaces Ethan Hawke On Kasper Barfoed's 'The Numbers Station' With Malin Akerman

A bit of an acting substitution here for a gestating indie-flick with John Cusack now replacing original star/producer Ethan Hawke as the lead in Kasper Barfoed's upcoming action-thriller "The Numbers Station," which also stars Malin Akerman. Hawke joined the project last fall when it was gearing up for early 2011 shoot, but that didn't come to pass. But with Cusack now on board, things are beginning to movie again. It almost marks two consecutive projects now that Cusack has replaced a departing actor after he took on the role of Edgar Allan Poe in James McTeigue's "The Raven" when original… »
Cusack Arrives At The Numbers Station

John Cusack has joined the cast of upcoming thriller The Numbers Station. The film, being directed by Kasper Barfoed and based on a script by F. Scott Frazier, has been in development for a number of years, with Ethan Hawke being touted to star and produce at one stage. However it would appear that Cusack has taken the lead role of a disgraced CIA agent, left with the deadend job of protecting a code expert in an isolated desert station. Watchmen's Malin Akerman is set to play aforementioned expert. While a number of his recent efforts haven't been great, it's always good to see Cusack on screen, and with this and the upcoming "The Raven" we'll be seeing plenty more of him. Via Variety

John Cusack will star in The Numbers Station for Furst Films and Matador Pictures. We first reported on this project last September, when Malin Akerman joined the cast. That report also indicated Ethan Hawke was starring, although it seems he has dropped out since then.
The story centers on a former black ops agent who lands a dead-end job protecting a CIA code operative in a Nevada desert station. They must fight for survival when the station comes under attack by unknown forces. John Cusack is playing the disgraced black ops agent, while Malin Akerman will portray the code operative.
Kasper Barfoed is directing The Numbers Station from a script by F. Scott Frazier. Sean Furst and Bryan Furst are producing for Furst Films, and Nigel Thomas will produce for Matador Pictures.
Production is scheduled to begin in mid-November.

John Cusack Joins Malin Akerman In The Numbers Station
25 October 2011 12:29 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Back in April of 2010, it looked as though Ethan Hawke was going to be reteaming with Sean and Bryan Furst - the producers of the vampire flick Daybreakers - for the action thriller The Numbers Station. Since then news about the project has been slim, with the exception of news that broke in September of last year, announcing that Malin Akerman had joined the cast as well. Fast forward a year and while Akerman is attached, it looks like Hawke has been replaced. Variety is reporting that John Cusack has been cast to star in The Numbers Station. Directed by Danish filmmaker Kasper Barfoed (The Candidate) and written by F. Scott Frazier, the movie is about a "disgraced black-ops agent" who is reduced to playing bodyguard to a code operator for a secret CIA broadcast station. While the article doesn't say it, one can assume that the drama begins when »

Cusack Figures Out The Numbers Station
24 October 2011 9:21 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Last year, it was announced that Watchmen’s Malin Akerman would be joining the cast of CIA thriller The Numbers Station. Things have been very quiet since, but now the film has scooped the services of John Cusack to co-star. The Candidate’s Kasper Barfoed is directing the film, which finds Cusack as a disgraced black-ops agent shuffled off to a dead-end assignment in the Nevada desert. His job? Protect a code breaker (Akerman) working at an isolated CIA broadcast station when she’s targeted by unknown assailants.Given that his name is nowhere near it now (and the slightly important fact that Cusack has taken over his role), it would appear that Ethan Hawke, who had been planning to produce and star, is no longer involved. Perhaps he got bored waiting for it all to come together.The rights to the movie are being sold at the American Film Market next month, »
John Cusack Starring With Malin Akerman In ‘The Numbers Station’
24 October 2011 9:13 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Is it just me, or is John Cusack getting a little comfortable in the thriller genre? Next year alone should see the release of The Raven & The Frozen Ground, and The Factory might be hitting before 2011 is one for the books. Variety has news of an additional entry to add to his slate, this one being director Kasper Barfoed‘s The Numbers Station.
Written by F. Scott Frazier, the story follows Cusack as “a disgraced black-ops agent tasked with a deadend job of protecting a code operator [Akerman] for an isolated covert CIA broadcast station.” Ethan Hawke is said to have originally been attached to play the main character, but he dropped out for undisclosed reasons. Producing are Sean and Bryan Furst of Furst Films, along with Matador Pictures’ Nigel Thomas. The film is currently without a distributor, but Content will pitch it around the American Film Market; the presence of »
