The Hills Have Eyes Remake - Casting Confirmation!?!

I've just received an email concerning about (what may be) a possible casting confirmation for Alexandre Aja's upcoming remake of the Wes Craven film "The Hills Have Eyes". Here's what was sent to me:

"First casting confirmation for the Hills Have Eyes remake. Ezra Buzzington (Ghost World/Art School Confidential) has been signed to play the role of "Goggle". The watchdog of the Hill People. Other offers are out. This is the first confirmation."

If you don't remember (from our Mutant Roll Call news) "Google" is one of the mutant hill people, so named because he keeps watch on the desert through a pair of binoculars. He has no face his eyes, nostrils, and mouth exist in a mass of flesh. His voice is rough and deep, his pronunciation is poor and we can't understand everything he says.

I'm really excited about this film.. just for the fact that Alexandre is directing.. so any info on this film is much appreciated and thanks "Juliette" for the casting tip.
