Casting Bites: From Annable to Lee

Here are some casting nibblets for the end of the month, courtesy of Variety:
  • Yet another lucky actor has been added to the film that will partake in the culinary wonders of Julia Child. Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters) has picked up a starring role in Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia. There is, however, no word on who he will play. Had Julia and Paul Child had children, I would assume that Annable would be one, because he sort of has a Streep/Tucci look to him. But, no dice.
  • Patrick J. Adams, meanwhile, will take a lead role alongside Judi Dench in a new film called Rage, from indie filmmaker Sally Potter (The Tango Lesson). Now, if you're familiar with the director and her 1997 film, this project should sound familiar. Potter had put Rage's script aside years ago to film Tango, but mentioned it within the other film. When describing the meta aspects of the film years ago, The Austin Chronicle had described Rage as a film where: "swan-like female models in haute-couture evening gowns are chased by a legless designer with murder in his heart." Iiinteresting!



  • He got to act alongside the likes of Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn in The Interpreter, and now Curtiss Cook has signed on for an undisclosed gig in Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, which puts him next to even more big names, like DiCaprio, Ruffalo, Kingsley, Mortimer, and more. Set in the 1950s, this is that film about the criminally insane hospital on a remote island, where a murderess disappears.
  • Last up, we have Robinne Lee, who has nabbed roles in two upcoming films -- Will Smith's Seven Pounds, and Hotel for Dogs. Her role in Pounds, the film that focuses on a man who changes the lives of 7 strangers, hasn't been announced, but in Dogs, she's getting the honor of playing Don Cheadle's wife. Lucky girl.
