Michelle Monaghan has joined the fact-based drama Machine Gun Preacher, which Marc Forster is gearing up to direct.
Gerard Butler is already in place to play reformed druggie biker Sam Childers, who saw the error of his ways, found religion, but channelled some of his old fire and fury into becoming a real problem for Ugandan rebels who kidnap children.
Revolutionary Road's Michael Shannon is also negotiating to take a role, that of Childers’ friend, who helped his wife (Monaghan) work out her own problems while her hubby was locked in prison or out saving lives in Africa.
Forster will kick off filming this summer.
