'Machine Gun Preacher' Recruits Michelle Monaghan & Michael Shannon
by Elisabeth Rappe May 11th 2010 // 2:15PM

The lovely Michelle Monaghan is one of those actresses I want to see more of. I can't think of a single movie I haven't liked her in. She even managed to bring some authenticity to the otherwise insipid Made of Honor. If you agree with that sentiment, then you should be pleased to hear that Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that she's joined Machine Gun Preacher alongside Gerard Butler. Michael Shannon is also in talks to join, though he always seems to become official on the sly.

Machine Gun Preacher is the story of Rev. Sam Childers, and will be based on his autobiography, Another Man's War. A biker attracted to drugs and violence, he experienced a religious awakening. After a trip to Sudan, he made it his life's work to rescue and protect children from Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army. You can learn more about him and his work on Childers' official website.

Monaghan will be playing Sam Childers' wife, Lynn. According to DHD, Childers' wife was faced with fighting her own demons while Childers' tended bar, kept their family together, and defended children in the Sudan. Shannon will be playing a personal friend of the family, who stayed with Lynn while Sam was away. It's a "pivotal role", those who have read Childers' autobiography probably know more about the familial details.

Machine Gun Preacher was announced as Butler's next big double-duty project, which will see him starring and producing. Marc Forster will sit in the director's chair. Financing was touch and go for awhile, but now it's all secured, and the film will go before cameras this June. I imagine you'll see sunburned Butler paparazzi shots within hours of production starting, though I hope Machine Gun Preacher might be the film that puts an end to his gossipy rom-com days.

Dammit Quick Draw! I was just about to post this!

However, I must say I haven't read anywhere else that he is co-producing MGP. If you click on her link when she says "double duty project" it takes you to another article where she annonces he is connected to the movie. But she doesn't say he is co-producing ..... at least I couldn't see it.

So it may be a mystery for Agent Dallas.
