The cast of Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken is coming together quite handsomely.

Newcomer Jack O’Connell is playing the lead part in La Jolie’s second directorial effort, the story of Olympian-turned-World War II POW Louis Zamperini, and now the filmmaker has secured the participation of one Garrett Hedlund.

The Country Strong star is set to play a fellow prisoner and de facto POW leader of the Japanese camp where Zamperini ends up after a weeks-long lost-in-the-Pacific ordeal.

Unbroken is scheduled for a Christmas 2014 release.
