Jim Caviezel and Laura Dern to Star in 'When the Game Stands Tall'

This casting decision sounds like it was made specifically to make me freak out and clap my hands together with glee. Jim Caviezel is set to star alongside Laura Dern in the upcoming football drama When the Game Stands Tall. Jim will be playing De La Salle High School football Coach Bob Ladouceur with Laura playing the role of his wife (Ahh!). Michael Chiklis will also star in the movie as well as Alexander Ludwig of The Hunger Games.

The movie is set to begin production on April 22nd according to THR. This makes me very excited. I'm happy that Jim is using his break from his starring role on Person of Interest to pursue other projects and I'm thrilled to see Laura Dern in another movie. But I can't help but wonder. How is her schedule looking otherwise? Might there be some room for her to film a part for Jurassic Park 4? Someone get Steven Spielberg on the phone.

Jim Caviezel on The Talk - Video

After you're done drooling over the picture I chose for this post, you can watch the video that comes with it. Jim Caviezel, star of Person of Interest, stopped by The Talk this afternoon to promote the rest of the season. He is so. Beautiful. And it was a great interview too! Not nearly long enough. If it was up to me, he would have had the whole hour to himself. But it's a great video to see Jim calm and casual and not kicking ass like he is every week on CBS.

Jim pitches the show to fans who aren't watching yet (but they should be), talks about getting struck by lightning, and meeting his wife on a blind date. So romantic! I only wish Sharon Osbourne had been here for this. She's a..big fan of his.

Person of Interest Gets Full Season Order

CBS has just announced that they have picked up Person of Interest for a full season! This is great news. I'm stoked that the show won me over and I love Jim Caviezel and love, love, love Michael Emerson. Person of Interest is the number 2 new drama of the season behind Unforgettable.
