Tell Me More About Garrett Hedlund's Prick

.

Somehow I had completely forgotten that Cary Fukunaga was planning on making a TV adaptation of Caleb Carr's fine 1994 procedural called The Alienist for TNT, which is news that was announced way back last April -- anyway Garrett Hedlund's just been cast in the leading role, which is fine news for people who like watching fine looking people and/or thinking about fine looking people being directed by and hanging out on and off the set with fine looking directors.

Funnily enough this news is being co-reported with a snippy comment that John Michael McDonagh, the director of Alexander Skarsgard's new movie called War On Everyone, made about Hedlund (who apparently Skarsgard replaced) at SXSW. Here's the bit:

"We had another guy, but he was kind of a prick. Garrett Hedlund."

Way to name names, dude. Well his loss is Alexander Skarsgard's gain I suppose, which breaks even in my estimation, and I'm sure that Cary Fukunaga won't have any trouble dealing with Garrett Hedlund's prick, or whatever.
