Well, I wouldn't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. But there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and Casting Tidbits and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork. First up, Variety reports John Hawkes (Winter's Bone) will star in the indie drama Surrogate. Based on the life of poet and journalist Mark O'Brien, the story follows the man as he decides to explore his sexuality after spending most of his life with an iron lung after struggling with polio. He hires a sex surrogate and soon develops a relationship that changes both of their lives. Yep, sounds like your standard indie drama to me. Next, Deadline reports Christina Hendricks, the voluptuous star of "Mad Men" has signed on to star in Seconds of Pleasure. The actress joins Brendan Fraser, Julia Stiles, Matt Dillon and Kristen Scott Thomas in a story that ...

Even if Winter's Bone wasn't seen by a huge audience outside the indie world, the film's four Oscar nominations have meant big things for everyone involved in the film-- star Jennifer Lawrence is moving on to X-Men: First Class and maybe The Hunger Games, and co-star and fellow Oscar nominee John Hawkes isn't far behind. No, he's not toplining any blockbusters yet, but the stalwart character actor is in two Sundance favorites, Martha Marcy May Marlene and Higher Ground, that will likely see release this year. Now he's adding another film to his slate, and this time it's a starring role. According to Variety he's attached to the drama Surrogate, about real-life poet, journalist and activist Mark O'Brien, who lived his entire 50-year life inside an iron lung after contracting polio as a child.

While he didn't end up taking home the trophy, an Oscar nomination for John Hawkes was vindication enough for the longtime character actor, who's been putting in exceedingly good work in numerous films over the years. And while the shine of Oscar may add a few more dollars to his paycheck, the actor doesn't seem to be in any hurry to leave his indie roots for glossier fare. Variety reports Hawkes is set to star in the drama "Surrogate." The challenging material is based on the true-life story of journalist and poet Mark O'Brien. Stricken with polio at the age…...
