"Clarke, who starred in Zero Dark Thirty, would play Rob Hall, a New Zealander who is leading one of the expeditions. Christian Bale had at one time been in talks for the role. Brolin, who next stars in Spike Lee's Oldboy remake, would play Beck Weathers, a doctor who has to endure a night exposed to the elements. End of Watch star Gyllenhaal will play Scott Fischer, the leader of another expedition. Hawkes, who starred in The Sessions, will take on the role of a slow climber from Seattle who causes his expedition to be late in taking off."

So who's playing Krakauer??
