For a $200,000 movie, Monsters has created quite a trajectory for its director and star. After Gareth Edwards got the job directing Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla, star Scoot McNairy has landed a lead alongside Brad Pitt and a great supporting cast in the Andrew Dominik-directed Cogan’s Trade. He’s in contention for a lead in the Ridley Scott-directed Prometheus, and is circling the role of Josh Speed in the Timur Bekmambetov-directed Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, both at Fox. He’s repped by ICM and The Group Management.


Bravo! Scott was absolutely fantastic in MONSTERS, and is a heck of a nice guy. Very happy to see his star rising! He deserves it.
(Scoot, that is.)
love hearing about stories like these. this kid is excellent… first of many for him.
Check out Scoot in IN SEARCH OF A MIDNIGHT KISS. He is fantastic and it is a great film. Nice to see that others have taken notice.
+1… ISOAMK is a great little movie.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Congrats!
major star….always a standout in any past roles he has had,
Way to go, Scoot. A great quirky guy. Watched him do a day player role and hold his own with the stars of the show. He makes it look fun!
Glad something good came of “Monsters” – most people didn’t see it as it was never released wide. Add it to your Netflix peeps

I have followed Scoot’s career for quite a while..He is an amazing actor..He deserves this..Rock it Scoot.!!!!!
This guy is one of my favorite actors! I can’t wait to see the movie. Definitely rent MONSTERS if you haven’t seen it. I will be first in line for COGAN’S TRADE!!! Thanks for writing this article.
Big fan of Scoot’s. Congrats to a talented actor with a bright future.
Now if they could just put IN SEARCH OF A MIDNIGHT KISS on DVD.
