Timothy Olyphant and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have been recruited for Kimberly Peirce's STOP LOSS for Paramount Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on a true story adapted for the screen by Peirce, STOP LOSS centers on Brandon (Ryan Phillippe), a soldier who returns home to Texas and is called to duty again in Iraq through the military's "stop-loss" procedure.

Olyphant has been cast as Lt. Col. Boot Miller, a no-nonsense military man who, serving as Brandon's commanding officer, welcomes the troops home from Iraq but then orders their re-enlistment. Gordon-Levitt will play one of the soldiers who returns to a failing marriage and seems to be having the toughest time readjusting to civilian life.
