William Petersen comes aboard Detachment
The site also reports that Mad Men star Christina Hendricks and Lucy Liu have joined the ensemble cast, which includes Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston, James Caan and Marcia Gay Harden.
Tony Kaye is directing the film from a script by Carl Lund. The story centers on a normally-detached substitute teacher (Brody) who starts to grow closer to his students and fellow teachers, as well as develop a relationship with a homeless teen prostitute.
Petersen will play a history teacher who gets into hot water when he shows a gay film in class, in an effort to promote tolerance. Hendricks will play a fellow teacher and potential love interest who tries to get Brody to start teaching full-time. Liu will play the school's psychologist who becomes irritated with her students' incompetence.
The film is currently shooting in New York City.
Detachment was released March 16th, 2012 and stars Adrien Brody, Marcia Gay Harden, James Caan, Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, Tim Blake Nelson, William Petersen. The film is directed by Tony Kaye.

They had me with Christina Hendricks, who is absolutely the BOMB son!! Great cast joining her as well, I'll check it out eventually, cause 2011 is just too full of great flicks ahead of it.
