Wood told MTV that he will joining Anthony Hopkins and Demi Moore to play one of 22 characters in the film that revisits the night Robert F. Kennedy was killed at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968.

"I'll play a character who is getting married to a woman to avoid the draft," Wood said. "Ultimately they fall in love with each other, but at first it's only out of practicality."

"Mighty Ducks" actor Emilio Estevez will direct the film with shooting to begin in Los Angeles at the beginning of October.

Wood is currently lending his voice to the animated flick "Happy Feet," due in theatres Nov. 16, 2006.
