Like his fellow deadbeat Ben Mendelsohn in Killing Them Softly, Scoot McNairy is on the rise in a fast yet intriguing way. He's recently appeared in Argo, filmed the new Gus Van Sant movie Promised Lands, and has a role in the next from Steve McQueen.
Now comes news that David Michôd has cast Scoot in The Rover, the director's anticipated follow up to Animal Kingdom. The movie, described as an existentialist western set in the future, also features Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce in key roles.
The Rover starts shooting in Australia in January.
