Matthew Goode to Lead Roadside Picnic Series

Interesting project for him I think. I don't know the book or the original film but looks like it could be a complex role.

Goode will play Redrick "Red" Shuhart, an "enigmatic, blue-collar contradiction" who can be quietly intelligent one moment and utterly ruthless the next. He achieved that in Stoker and Roots, etc. so it could be goode for him.

It would be great to hear from someone who knows more about it.

(I've put some more info on 'New Projects' as well.)

PS mikekaraoke23 - you must tell us what your big karaoke number is!
