Sigourney Weaver is in talks to join the cast of Columbia Pictures' Vantage Point, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, William Hurt and Forest Whitaker already have signed on to the thriller.

Directed by Pete Travis from a Barry Levy screenplay, the story chronicles an assassination attempt on the U.S. president (Hurt) and is told from five points of view, unfolding in 15-minute increments.

Weaver will play a TV news producer for a CNN-type network who will do anything to get the story.

Neal Moritz is producing, while Tania Landau is executive producing. Shooting starts Sunday in Mexico City.

I don't expect this movie to be very watchable. Quaid and Fox are both very talented but also somewhat milquetoasty actors. Together with the procedural plot (even if it is done from a multilinear perspective, or whatever) it seems to amount to something in the same family as "The Sentinel", another movie I have no desire to ever see.

Hot damn! Where did this film come from? A thriller featuring a strong cast including Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, William Hurt, Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, and Edgar Ramirez, Vantage Point has released its terrorizing trailer online.

Movie Trailer: Vantage Point

In Columbia Pictures' Vantage Point, Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox), are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) an American tourist video taping the historic event to show his kids when he returns home. Also there is Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. It's only as we follow each person's perspective of the same 15 minutes prior to and immediately after the shooting that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.

What the synopsis doesn't say is that all craziness ensues with explosions to boot.

I doubt it'll get much in the way of marketing attention, if that's what you mean. I still can't wait for it.

I'm always wary when thrillers compare themselves to Rashomon.
