Matt Damon replaces Leonardo DiCaprio in The Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd: According to The Hollywood Reporter, less than three weeks after Graham King's Initial Entertainment Group decided against financing The Good Shepherd, the film appears to have found a new lease on life.

Matt Damon is in discussions to join "Shepherd," the long-gestating project about a career CIA agent. It is expected that he would step into the role that was originally to have been played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Financier Morgan Creek is in early discussions to board the project, which Universal Pictures would release domestically. A spokesperson for Morgan Creek said that no offer has gone out to Damon. But sources said early discussions about the actor's participation have begun.

Damon would star opposite Robert De Niro, who is to take a co-starring role in the film, which he also plans to direct. De Niro and partner Jane Rosenthal are producing through their Tribeca Prods.

De Niro is aiming for a March 7 start date in the New York metropolitan area.

forget about signing gigs... emcee and i are totally going to STALK THE SET.

Oh, we are.... are we? *grin*

This had better not freakin' interfere with my stalking of any RENT filming that takes place in New York. (kidding - I'm not really going to stalk anyone... )

---

I want to stalk people.. I mean, um. Well... not that it would do any good anyways considering I live in Nebraska.

*beacon1 stands in the room, wide-eyed...innocent...smiling shyly with a slight blush on her cheeks...*

I have no idea what you all are talking about. I'm a good little girl scout and would never, ever do anything untoward.

*lowers eyes demurely...then peeks up to see if anyone bought this...*

Wouldn't it be great if he would participate in a benefit performance of something...or appear on Seth's Chatterbox again...or do a little show of his own...

*sigh* I wanna hear him sing in person...live...

Patrick deserves to meet me and have me in the audience.

He's earned that privilege.

Poor guy...
