Catherine Keener joins THE SOLOIST

Actress will play the wife to reporter Robert Downey Jr, who's writing an article on musical prodigy turned homeless man Jamie Foxx, for Joe Wright - the director of ATONEMENT.

Variety report that Catherine Keener who you will probably remember most as the women Steve Carell ended up with in THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN although I remember her more for her superb turn as Nelle Harper Lee in CAPOTE, has joined the cast as Downey Jr's wife. Shooting begins in January and it's one I'm really looking forward too. Let's hope it's better than ATONEMENT! source - coming soon
