Ben Affleck Adds Michael Parks, Clea DuVall, and Richard Kind to the Cast of Argo

Ben Affleck may have been busy prepping for Argo, but we didn’t know too much about the film itself beside Affleck directing and starring alongside Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, and John Goodman. Now Warner Brothers has released an official plot synopsis for Argo and announced that Kyle Chandler, Tate Donovan, Rory Cochrane and Taylor Schilling will be added to the cast.

The film adapts the true story of a CIA team that posed as a film crew in order to extract diplomats from Tehran in 1979. But as exciting as the premise sounds, the recent cast additions that include the great Michael Parks (above), as well as Clea Duvall and Richard Kind makes the film sound greater than it already is.

So this is the official plot synopsis,

On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

“Argo” also stars Oscar(R) winner Alan Arkin (“Little Miss Sunshine”), Bryan Cranston (TV’s “Breaking Bad”) and John Goodman (“You Don’t Know Jack”). The main cast also includes Kerry Bishe, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber, Zeljko Ivanek, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, and Taylor Schilling.

Affleck is directing the film from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, based on a selection from Master in Disguise by Antonio Mendez. David Klawans, Chris Brigham, Graham King, Tim Headington, Chay Carter and Nina Wolarsky are serving as executive producers.
