Alexander, who’s in town to film his latest movie, What Maisie Knew, has reportedly signed on for another project.

Variety reports he’s attached to star in the drama Disconnect, “which follows a large ensemble of characters who are affected – and in some cases destroyed – by the Internet and other forms of modern communication.”

Alex is set to play a former Marine who is in financial trouble and “is emotionally cut off from his wife, prompting him to seek an affair.”
