Luke Wilson wants to become Henry Poole

luke-wilson.jpgIf you were told you only had six weeks left to live, what would you do? Would you attempt to climb Everest? Would you try and travel the world? Would you try and bed as many women as possible? Or is it most likely that you would eat and drink yourself to death, full of denial about your situation. That's pretty much the plot for director Mark Pellington's newly announced movie Henry Poole is Here, which has bagged Luke Wilson as it's lead star. He will play a guy who decides that turning to a diet of pizza, vodka and twinkies is the only way to live when you only have six weeks of your life left. The film will mark the fourth collaboration between Pellington and Lakeshore Entertainment after the features The Mothman Prophecies (You know what, I didn't hate it), Arlington Road (Very good movie) and Going All The Way which I haven't seen. Now do you think in this new film by the end Luke Wilson's character will have been wrongly diagnosed and he is not dying after all, or do you think they will have strength in their convictions and let the lead character die?
