A very talented cast is coming together for The Blunderer, with Deadline reporting that Patrick Wilson, Jessica Biel, Imogen Poots, and Toby Jones have signed on to star (and yes, I do include Biel in the talented group, as she’s actually far better than most of the roles she’s given).
Based Patricia Highsmith’s 1960s set novel the story follows Walter Stackhouse (Wilson), who is a successful architect with a lovely wife (Biel).
Underneath his seemingly normal, perfect life, he is obsessed with an unsolved murder case, which spirals out of control as he faces both a deadly killer (Jones) and an ambitious detective, all while lusting for another woman (Poots).
Andy Goddard is set to directing from screenplay by Susan Boyd. The film will be looking for buyers at Cannes.
I always think Jessica Biel is an actress who’s actually better than the roles she gets suggests, and hopefully she’ll be able to get to prove that in The Wolverine, as director James Mangold has offered her the role of The Viper in The Wolverine. She would join a cast that also includes Will Yun Lee and Brian Tee, who will play villains The Silver Samurai and Noboru Mori.
It’s the closest Jessica Biel is likely to get to being in a film as good as Psycho, but the actress has joined Sacha Gervasi’s Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, according to 
Poor old Jessica Biel. I’ve always thought she’s a rare case of an actress being held back by her attractiveness, as she’s actually a very good actress, but she nearly always gets shoved into eye candy roles that make her seem far more pointless than she actually is.
