Alan Arkin ("Little Miss Sunshine", "The Santa Clause 3") is in final negotiations to join the cast of New Line Cinema's political thriller "Rendition" reports Reuters.
Written by Kelley Sane, the multilayered story centers on a CIA analyst (JakeGyllenhaal) based in Cairo who finds his world spinning out of control after he witnesses the interrogation of a foreign national by the Egyptian secret police.
Reese Witherspoon will play the pregnant American wife of the national. Arkin will play a senator who tries to help Witherspoon in her search for her missing husband. The investigation eventually threatens the senator's position in Washington.
