"Men Who Stare at Goats" to Film In New Mexico


Another great production for the New Mexico Film Industry - "Men Who Stare at Goats" starring George Clooney, Ewan Mac Gregor, and co-starring Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey, will be filming this fall in New Mexico.

"Men Who Stare at Goats" is based on British journalist Jon Ronson's non-fiction book by the same name. Ronson's book is about the U.S. Army's alleged experimentation with psychological warfare techniques, including its attempts to use brain waves to kill goats and rock music to torture suspects.

From Variety: "Script was penned by Brit Peter Straughan ("How to Lose Friends and Alienate People"). The project has been around for some time, but international buyers only just received the script this week as the Cannes fest and market got started. Script topped the 2007 Brit List of best unproduced screenplays."
