The most wanted man in Hollywood is about to join the Manhunt.  Gerard Butler, who is attached to a staggering number of films at present, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to star in Manhunt, an action-thriller scripted by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (both from Children of Men). Directed by Breck Eisner (The Crazies), Manhunt follows an FBI team into the North Carolina wilderness where they track James Tollan, a domestic terrorist and ruthless survivalist who has evaded capture with the help of local townspeople; his repeated attacks on the federal government have marked him as the FBI's most-wanted. The team enlists a reluctant local bear hunter to help capture Tollan, but finds that the terrorist will stop at nothing to defend his home turf once they enter his woods.  While the report doesn't specify the role, I'm going to assume that Butler is up for "friendly bear-hunter" and not "ruthless murderer." Hit the jump for more, including a recap of all of Butler's current projects. Report of Butler's involvement with Manhunt comes via Deadline.  This is the latest in a long list of projects that have been attributed to Butler over the last year. Let's recap, shall we?

Have fun, Gerard!
