Excerpt from The Film Stage:
I’ve enjoyed the work of actor Scoot McNairy since 2007′s indie drama In Search of a Midnight Kiss and certainly 2010′s low-budget sci-fi feature Monsters, but it’s safe to say this fall marks his break-out in Hollywood. The actor is one of the best elements of Ben Affleck‘s Argo ensemble and delivers one of my favorite performances in Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly. It looks like the industry has taken notice, as he’s joined the cast of two highly-anticipated features.
Buried in a Deadline article revealing that he’s linked up with WME, McNairy has joined David Michod‘s Animal Kingdom follow-up The Rover, with Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce. Described as an “existential” western, the film is set in the near-future and follows a man who treks across the Australian outback in an attempt to recover his stolen car from a gang of punks — one of whom is portrayed by Pattinson (and perhaps another could be McNairy).
Scoot definitely sounds like he's on good track and is being noticed by critics. Another positive addition to The Rover cast. :)

it is gathering pace I see. I am very excited.
Great news. I loved him in Monsters, very charismatic.
Great to hear news that things are really moving forward on his up and coming projects :)
Hi Lyn. I agree, I love reading these sort of posts, Specially at the moment with all the end of Twilight emotions !! Lots to look forward to.
Yes even though I loved the film last night and will be going again !! its great to see the next chapter of his career unfolding :)
Wow! Looks like this movie is getting more and more interesting each passing day. Good..
So glad you enjoyed it. Can't ask any more - spoiler rules - but I'm hopefully going this weekend. Did you take your hubby ?? Wouldn't even dream of asking mine !!!!
No wouldn't write it here anyway lol Yes my daughter had Lion King tickets for the same day so hubby came with me, he didn't mind he did think he'd be the only male but wasn't lol. The projector overheated and the film stopped at a very climactic part in BD2 took them 20 minutes to get the film back on, wasn't happy but going again with mum and daughter on Tuesday :)
The projector overheated.....,climactic part........wow Edward can even melt machinery....!!!!!! Seriously though, that must have been infuriating !!!!!!
Haha I never thought of that !!! It wouldn't have been so annoying in any of the other films, It was 1.20 in the morning when it broke !! Hubby quite enjoyed it especially BD2 said it was a good ending :)
My god he sounds amazing....did he sit through all 4 films ?? no snoring or inappropriate sniggering ??.
Yes all 5 films lol and no snoring even though he said he would lol !!! We had a group of 6 teenagers boys and girls in front of us and they were talking noisily through Twilight so he told them to shush one of them turned to give some lip and changed his mind when he realised it was a 6ft 17 stone man telling him to shut it, they behaved for the rest of the time !! It was hilarious so he did come in useful lol ;)
Sorry, 5 films, bit of a Rob moment there !!! And yeah, VERY useful, love to have seen their faces - annoying idiots..!!
I've started watching but got my dance classes so got to go out now !!! Will have to catch the pics later :)
x.
Can't wait to see who else they cast. Mostly men in it. Only 2 women's speaking roles (3 if you count the old woman speaking Chinese). Rey really is a departure from the typical Rob role and I think an excellent choice to break away from his heartthrob movie stereotype. Guys are gonna love this film!
