When you think of female truckers, you don't exactly think of Michelle Monaghan. I think more like Large Marge. But Monaghan has signed on to lead the cast of the indie drama TRUCKER. Monaghan will play the titular trucker, an independent woman riding the friendly highways hauling loads. Then her estranged 11-year-old shows up and threatens her sweet trucking lifestyle. Nathan Fillion, Benjamin Bratt, Joey Lauren Adams and Jimmy Bennett also join the cast for writer/director James Mottern. Monaghan has been tracking the film for some time and while producers were out trying to get financing, she went out and actually got her truck driving license. Monaghan has been a busy girl lately with three films on the way - THE HEARTBREAK KID, MEN OF HONOR and GONE, BABY, GONE - plus filming on EAGLE EYE to begin this fall. Over and out, good buddy.
Extra Tidbit:
If you're looking to check out a classic trucker movie, you gotta see Kris Kristofferson in Sam Peckinpah's CONVOY.
