Oscar-winning director and leading man Kevin Costner has two new projects to keep him busy in the coming months. Costner has agreed to star in “Swing Vote”, a comedy about a man who becomes an instant celebrity when the press find out that his vote is the tie-breaker in determining who wins the Presidental election. The “Dances With Wolves” director will also serve as a producer on the movie via his Treehouse Films company. Joshua Michael Stern will direct the movie which begins filming in July.
The second new project in the 52-year-old’s life is the arrival of a baby boy named Cayden Wyatt Costner. Costner’s wife of three years, Christine Baumgartner, gave birth to their child on May 6 and both are doing well. This is the fifth time at playing father for Costner after having three children with his first wife in the 1980s and one with his companion in the 1990s.
Costner’s next movie is “Mr. Brooks” set for release on June 1. In it he plays a model family and business man who has a secret personality in which he is a serial killer. William Hurt plays the second personality of Costner’s character and Demi Moore is a detective in pursuit of the killer’s true identity.
