The Conspirator Keeps Building An Impressive Cast
Cinema Blend News —
... Cast Having played the super brainy Rory Gilmore on TV for so many years, Alexis Bledel is still adored by many women my age. But today I have no choice but to hate her. She's in the enviable position of playing James McAvoy's wife in The Conspirator , the Robert Redford-directed drama about Mary Surratt (Robin Wright Penn), the only woman to be tried for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Bledel is among a whole host of people who have joined the cast today, according to Variety , alongside Tom Wilkinson, Evan Rachel Wood and Kevin Kline. Wilkinson will play a mentor to ...

Wilkinson will play a mentor to McAvoy's character, a war hero lawyer defending Surratt, with Wood playing Surratt's daughter and Kline as the War Secretary Edwin Stanton.

Penn wasn't too bad as Jenny in Forrest Gump back in the day, but I'm honestly afraid of what Wood might come up with. ...

Long will play a soldier who lost a limb in the Civil War and is McAvoy’s, “best friend and conscience.” It’ll be interesting to see how he copes with a period drama, as he’s been known mostly for being the guy on the “Mac vs. PC” commercials.

Long is Aiken’s best friend, a one-armed Civil War vet; Wood is Mary Surratt’s daughter; Bledel is Aiken’s wife; Wilkinson is Aiken’s mentor and US Senator Reverdy Johnson; and Kline is Edwin Stantin, Lincoln’s War Secretary.
