I have been following James McAvoy’s career ever since I watched him in the original Narnia film.  His persona seems young and pure, which is worth a chuckle. That’s why he’s perfect for his next turn as a lawyer defending Mary Surrant who is accused of being an accomplice to the assassination of President Lincoln in Robert Redford’s The Conspirator.

Click on McAvoy’s water bottle and you can go to The Playlist that scooped the story this last week.  Also, Justin Long and Evan Rachael Wood have been added to the cast.

I am sure if Robert Redford takes this true life story for what it’s worth, he may be contending for some awards.
