John Cusack Goes to War with Hilary Duff
Cusack co-wrote, produced and stars in War, Inc., a new film billed as an incendiary political satire that examines the blurring lines between global military conflicts and big business. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources — everything from Kafka and contemporary anti-globalization author Naomi Kline, to the Marx brothers and political cartoons — Cusack says he hopes the film will continue the long tradition of mocking the powerful elites of government and corporate aristocracy.
“I just didn’t want to go through what I thought was the darkest political period in my life without doing something,” Cusack says. “Well, something besides making money off romantic comedies.”
The people that Cusack got together, along with director Joshua Seftel, were stars Marisa Tomei, Joan Cusack, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, and in a somewhat surprising turn, Hilary Duff.
