Michelle Monaghan To Join 'The Coup'
Monaghan will play Anna, the wife of Owen Wilson's character in the action thriller, which is scheduled to begin production in October.
Michelle is an exceptional actor who always brings a depth of compassion and warmth to her characters. She and Owen Wilson will be the kind of screen couple you just can't help but root for.I'm a big fan of Monaghan, who proved to be a joy alongside Robert Downey Jr. in 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' but unfortunately she hasn't entirely been served well since, mainly taking roles that don't allow her to show what she is fully capable of, mainly because she's starred in mediocre fare such as 'Eagle Eye' and 'The Heartbreak Kid'. Although with a role in last year's quite exceptional 'Source Code' here's hoping that her choices gradually begin to reflect her talents. Saying that however, she is playing the wife role. Hopefully the Dowdle brothers will give her something more to do than simply run around screaming and wait for her hubby to come and save the day. Here's hoping...
