McAvoy Might Have “Dinner with Herve”

James McAvoy has been omnipresent in film casting rumors and news lately; don’t look for that trend to end anytime soon.

Apparently the actor will soon read for the leading role in Sacha Gervasi’s My Dinner with Herve; the director is perhaps most notable for the documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil.



"The film revolves around the last days of Hervé Villechaize, aka Tattoo—the famous dwarf on TV’s ‘Fantasy Island.’ Written by and based on Gervasi’s true-life experiences, ‘Herve’ is both personal and semi-autobiographical—Gervasi was actually the last journalist to interview Villechaize before he committed suicide in 1993. In fact, after essentially telling Gervasi his life story for a magazine feature profile piece and dredging up a lot of his painful past and upbringing, Villechaize killed himself just a few days later.”

How do you feel about this potential casting?
