^{Eyes up, Brody!}

Adrien Brody has signed on for cuckoo bird director Tony Kaye‘s Detached. Brody will star as a substitute teacher who becomes attached to a teenage prostitute while working at a troubled school. He later gets in trouble when he shows a gay film in class in an attempt to teach tolerance. I’m going out on a limb here and guessing it was Victor Salva’s Clownhouse.

Christina Hendricks also stars as a teacher and potential love interest who encourages Brody’s sub to go full-time. Brody has proven talented in a number of complex roles but this may be his greatest challenge yet. Can you imagine trying not to look at Christina Hendricks‘s boobs all day, every day? That’s a test of endurance even David Blaine wouldn’t be able to pass. (The Playlist)
