Danes joining 'The Flock' for shepherd Lau
By Borys Kit
Claire Danes is in final negotiations to star alongside Richard Gere in "The Flock," Bauer Martinez's thriller being directed by Andrew Lau.
"Flock" follows a hypervigilant federal agent (Gere) who is training his young female replacement (Danes). The two must track down a missing girl who might be connected to a paroled sex offender under investigation.
Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell wrote the script.
Bauer Martinez's Philippe Martinez will serve as producer on the film along with Elie Samaha, Jenette Kahn, Adam Richman and Lau. The budget is pegged in the $35 million range.
"Claire Danes brings a sensitivity and power to the role of a young agent being mentored by Richard Gere's character," Martinez said. "This is a key role in the film, and Andrew, Richard and I are thrilled to have an actress of Claire's talent playing the part."
Danes stars in "Shopgirl" -- directed by Anand Tucker and based on the Steve Martin novella -- which premieres Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival and is set to open Oct. 21. She also appears with Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams and Sarah Jessica Parker in Thomas Bezucha's upcoming ensemble film "The Family Stone."
Danes is repped by ICM and Michael Aglion

Thanks for all the pictures, Lostgirl! You get some karma!
It's based on Steve Martin's novel, about a young woman, Mirabelle, who is really smart, but stuck in a dead end job working at Saks. When an older man, Ray, takes an interest in her, her life starts to change for the better: he takes her to intersting places, treats her well, etc. But her immature ex, Jeremy, turns up and seems like a changed man so she's torn between them. In order to choose between them she has to first figure out who she is and what she wants. The book was really good, and since Steve Martin also wrote the screenplay, I have high hopes.
This is how efanguide.com/clairedanes describes the plot:
Shopgirl
Released date October 21, 2005
Category Romantic / Comedy
Director Anand Tucker
Starring Steve Martin , Jason Schwartzman
as Mirabelle Buttersfield, a disenchanted salesgirl and aspiring artist who sells gloves and accessories at Neiman Marcus. She has two men in her life wealthy divorcee Ray Porter (Martin) and struggling musician Jeremy. Mirabelle falls in love with the glamorous Ray, and her life takes a magical turn, but eventually she realizes that she must empower herself and make a choice between them. The film is based on Steve Martin 's best-selling novel of the same name.
The buzz on the movie and her performance is very good. They're talking Oscar nominations (I hope so- Claire's long overdue IMO) Here's a quote from canada.com: "Shopgirl Steve Martin wrote the book and the screenplay and co-stars in the film. Sometimes classy intelligence is rewarded. And apparently, Claire Danes -- there ain't nothing like a solid Danes performance -- lives up to her potential as the courted shopgirl. Danes, Martin, movie, screenplay, director Anand Tucker, maybe even more"
and here's what EW.com said about it:
Older businessman meets younger woman. Younger woman meets slacker dude. Choices, choices. This is Shopgirl, a comedy-romance that's about as autumnal as comedy-romances get when they're set in Los Angeles. First it was a best-selling novella written by Steve Martin, and now it's a movie (shot back in 2003) starring Martin, alongside Claire Danes (as the titular counter clerk at Saks Fifth Avenue) and Jason Schwartzman (as Martin's scruffy romantic rival). Why the delay? ''I think [the film] underwent a few renovations, and it took [director] Anand [Tucker] quite a while to find the most compelling story within all the material we shot,'' attests Danes. ''I saw a version a year ago, and I saw another one about two months ago. It was much changed. Improved. Usually more time means a bigger mess. But that wasn't the case here.'' That probably comes as a relief to Martin, who also wrote the screenplay and was deeply involved throughout. ''He wasn't directing the movie, but he definitely helped the director,'' says Schwartzman. ''I don't want to say 'supervising,' because that makes him sound like a police officer. I just think it's nice to have the writer there. Especially when it's Steve Martin.''
''With him around, there was the chance we weren't totally maiming the thing,'' says Danes, who acknowledges the challenges in adapting the book. ''It's a really intimate portrait [of the female lead], but it's not told in the first person. It seems like it's from her perspective, but it really isn't. The question is, whose story is it?'' According to Danes, it's Martin's — in spirit, at least: ''I think it was really brave of him to expose parts of himself he didn't have to expose.'' Careful, Steve: That sort of thing can get you arrested at Saks.
