Patrick is set to star in “Space Station 76“.

Liv Tyler, Matt Bomer, Patrick Wilson and Marisa Coughlan have just wrapped production on Space Station 76, a sci-fi dramatic comedy. Jack Plotnick wrote and directed the movie, which shot in Los Angeles under the radar.

Described as being set in a 1970s version of the future, the film centers on the goings-on in a space station. Tyler plays a new assistant captain whose arrival causes tension amongst the crew while Wilson is the bitter and suicidal captain. Bomer is a technician with a robotic hand who is married to a manipulative woman (Coughlan).

Also in the cast are Jerry O’Connell, Kali Rocha and newcomer Kylie Rogers.

Plotnick is an actor who has quietly made a name for himself as a playwright and as an acting coach. The script originated as a play he and some other actors co-wrote. He was trying to use the space station as a metaphor for his life growing up in 1970s suburbia.

Patrick Wilson and Alec Baldwin are set to headline noir mystery thriller Caught Stealing, written by David Hayter and based on the novel by Charlie Huston.

Myriad Pictures announced the project at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it will presell the film to foreign buyers. Myriad will work alongside APA on the U.S. sale.

Caught Stealing is the first book in Huston’s popular Henry Thompson trilogy.

Wilson will play Hank Thompson, a hotshot high school baseball prospect turned unlucky alcoholic, going-nowhere bartender who mistakenly gets caught up in a bloody treasure hunt through New York City. It turns out that the cat Hank’s neighbor left in his care is sitting on a secret. Hidden at the bottom of its cage is a key wanted by a sadistic cop (Baldwin), Russian mobsters, a Samoan hit man and a pair of psycho brothers who dress in leather gear.

Lost Rhino Films’ Marcus Chait, James Carpinello and Wilson will produce. Paula Wagner is executive producing with Myriad’s Kirk D’Amico. Myriad and Lost Rhino are in talks with directors for the project.

“Caught Stealing is, first and foremost, a great script,” D’Amico said. “It is a wrong-man plot worthy of Hitchcock and a brilliant adaption of the first book of the Henry Thompson trilogy. I look forward to seeing the story come to life on screen.”

David Hayter will also be executive producing along with Paula Wagner. Myriad director of production and acquisitions Ari Haas brought the film to Myriad.

The deal was negotiated by Will Lowery at APA on the producers’ behalf and senior vp business affairs David Ducar for Myriad.

Patrick will guest star in the series “Girls” according to TV Line.

A gifted man will enter the orbit — and possibly a bed — of HBO’s Girls, now that Patrick Wilson has landed a juicy guest-starring role in Season 2 of the talked-about comedy, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Wilson will play Joshua, a fortysomething doctor who lives next door to where Hannah works and becomes a potential love interest to Lena Dunham’s insecure 24-year-old.

Hannah, for the uninitiated, has just come off a season where she pined for, was in a relationship with and ultimately wasn’t sure how she felt about the enigmatic Adam. Aside from Wilson’s obvious charms, his sexy doc could offer a more mature option for the wannabe writer.

St. Petersburg, Florida – “A Gifted Man” is CBS’ hottest new fall series and the show’s lead character, Patrick Wilson, was back in town Saturday night.

The Tampa Bay native was playing on stage in front of a sold out crowd at a club called LOCAL 662 in St. Petersburg. Wilson played the drums while his brothers Mark and Paul also performed on stage with him in a band named “Van Wilson.”

The event was held as a fundraiser to raise money for the St. Petersburg Free Clinic.

Patrick Wilson says, “I feel like if you can do something you’re passionate about and have a great time you know then it doesn’t feel like a dinner when everyone is in suits and ties and you’re giving money.”

Wilson adds, “Those events are certainly important. But for us if you can get the common person that may just want to come out and have a good time and hear some music and give to charity – especially a very noble one like the free clinic – then we’re in good shape.”

Organizers say it’s fitting that the band is raising money for the St. Petersburg Free Clinic, because Dr. Holt, the character Patrick plays on “A Gifted Man,” leaves his private practice to help a free clinic.

Patrick Wilson has always been just on the cusp of great things, particularly after his fantastic breakout performance in “Little Children,” but further acclaim has been just out of reach. Projects he has signed on to since—ranging from the low key drama “Evening,” the race baiter “Lakeview Terrance” and blockbuster fare like “The A-Team” and “Watchmen”—just never quite made the grade, but coming off a massive hit this year with “Insidious” the actor has leapt straight into one of the most anticipated films of 2012.

First mentioned as an unquoted aside in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times, The Playlist has confirmed that Patrick Wilson has joined Ridley Scott‘s “Prometheus.” But of course, as with everything around the movie, Wilson’s role is unknown. But here’s what do know: the film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green and Guy Pearce in a story that is prequel/spinoff from the world first created in “Alien,” sharing some of its DNA. Theron plays the head of The Company and the film is shooting both R-rated and PG-13 versions with a decision on which one hits theaters to arrive after the film is wrapped.

And well, that’s about it. Various images have floated to the web but the actual story has been guarded. A trailer of some kind is expected this fall and the film hits on June 8, 2012.
