Lots of new castings for The Conspirator:

Justin Long is joining James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn in “The Conspirator,” the historical drama that Robert Redford is directing.

“Conspirator” tells the story of Confederate sympathizer Mary Surratt (Wright Penn), who was tried as a conspirator in the Lincoln assassination, and Col. Frederick Aiken (McAvoy), who reluctantly agreed to defend her before a military tribunal.

Long plays a soldier who lost a limb in the Civil War and is McAvoy’s best friend and conscience.
