This man knows how to track down a good role! After playing one of the leading parts in A Serious Man, and brining some character and flavor into Hugo, Men In Black 3, Blue Jasmine, and many others, Michael Stuhlbarg will be showing off his amazing acting credibility in Denis Villeneuve’s newest sci-fi flick, The Story Of Your Life.

Stuhlbarg thus joins the tight A-list cats, consisting of Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, in the upcoming movie which tells the tale of aliens landing on Earth.

The military then calls in linguistics specialist Dr. Louise Banks (played by Adams), in order to communicate with the outer galactic guests.

As Dr. Banks explores their mindset and language, she figures out how to think as they do and develops an ability to “chrono-synclastically” perceive time from the outside. Thus, she “remembers the future” and finds out way more than she ever wanted to know.

As for Michael, he will be playing CIA agent Halpern, who was brought in to monitor the international aspects of the whole project.

The Story Of Your Life’s screenplay was written by Eric Heisserer, while Villeneuve is directing. The movie is set for a 2016 release.
