Jason Biggs To Take Lead In Black Comedy 'Guy X'

[Monday, April 26th, 2004]
Jason Biggs (American Pie) has landed the lead role in Saul Metztein's black comedy Guy X, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Guy X is set in a secret Arctic military base in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, which also stars Natasha McElhone, Jeremy Northam and Michael Ironside.

Set in 1979 as Ronald Reagan is gearing up his presidential campaign and the Cold War is entering its endgame, Guy X is the story of a hapless American soldier transferred by clerical error to the Qangattarsa base in the Arctic, and unable to escape because he no longer officially exists.

It's adapted by Steve Attridge and John Paul Chapple from John Greismer's novel "No-one Thinks Of Greenland," itself inspired by the true story of the secret American hospital where fatally injured soldiers from the Korean War, officially billed as missing in action, were sent to die.

Guy X has already started shooting April 26 on location in Iceland.
