Wendy McLendon-Covey to star in `Army of One`

Los Angeles: 'The Goldbergs' actress Wendi McLendon-Covey will romance Nicolas Cage in an upcoming satirical comedy 'Army of One'.

Larry Charles, whose credits include the Sacha Baron Cohen mockumentary comedy film 'Borat', is directing the project, said The Hollywood Reporter.

The film has a script by Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph (Draft Day).

It tells the larger-than-life, comedic true story of Gary Faulkner, a Colorado construction worker who travels to Pakistan ? 11 times ? on a self-proclaimed mission to capture Osama bin Laden. Though he has neither special skills nor connections, he believes he is the perfect man for the job.

McLendon-Covey, 45, is portraying Cage's wife in the film. Filming will begin later this spring.
