It's two in two days for Jennifer Garner, as only yesterday it was revealed she was in talks to join the cast of Better Living Through Chemistry, and now Vulture is reporting that she's signed up for The Odd Life Of Timothy Green.
Writer/director Peter Hedges (Dan In Real Life), has been working on the movie for a while, which was inspired by an idea from Ahmet Zappa (son of Frank), and now Disney is really pushing it in the hopes of starting filming early next year. They've now attached Garner to one of the main role and put out an offer to Mark Wahlberg for another.
According to Vulture "The modern-day fable Green centers around a child-prodigy musician and his parents: Garner would play the mother, and we hear an offer is out to Mark Wahlberg to star opposite her as the dad, though he's expected to pass." If Wahlberg does decide against it, an offer is expected to be made to a de-crazied Joaquin Phoenix.
