(Gibson) Oscar-nominated actress Vera Farmiga has signed on to play Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie in Randall Miller, Rad Rosenberger and Jody Savin's upcoming feature film, The Drummer. The film follows the last six years of late Beach Boy drummer Dennis Wilson's (played by Aaron Eckhart) life, including Wilson and McVie's "passionate and tumultuous" six-year relationship before Wilson's passing in 1983.
Miller and Savin are stoked to have both Farmiga and Eckhart onboard the musical project. "Jody and I are thrilled to work with Vera," Miller told Hollywood Today, "Her commitment to every nuance will illuminate the character and having Aaron and Vera on-screen singing together will be pure magic." Rosenberger added that the filmmakers are "thrilled that Vera brings her special musical talents to our film. She is a superb actor and we can't wait to see and hear her as Christine McVie." more on this story
