Casting Bites: Williamson, Dunn, McCord & Sandvig
Filed under: Comedy », Horror », Thrillers », Casting »
Check out this collection of old and new faces, courtesy of Variety:- He became super famous, or at least, super recognizable after jutting out his lower lip and playing Bubba in Forrest Gump. Now Mykelti Williamson is doomed to some terrible death -- or at least, he's doomed to be surrounded by it. He's picked up a role in the next accident fest -- Final Destination 4. Unfortunately, there's no word on who he'll play -- whether he'll have a bit part, or figure prominently. Either way, you'll get to see him in 3D! In the meantime, you can catch him in Vice, a new drama starring Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah.
- Then we've got Saturday Night Live alum Nora Dunn. Recently, she's been hanging out on the Pineapple Express, but now she's also getting spiritual -- or at least, into the spiritual business. Dunn has signed on to play a literary agent in the upcoming Jeff Daniels film The Dream of the Romans, which I told you about the other day. Daniels stars as a reclusive writer of spiritual books who gets hounded for advice by a few eager fans.
- Finally, there's more talent signing on to the Patrick Swayze comedy Fired Up, which focuses on two guys who sign up for cheerleader's camp to pick up girls -- AnnaLynne McCord (Nip/Tuck) and Jake Sandvig (Sky High). There is no word on McCord's character (although I bet it would be safe to assume that she'll be a cheerleader), while Sandvig will play some dude named Downey. A-W-E-S-O-M-E. (I really hope this is good, for Swayze's sake.)
'Heroes' Regular Joins Another Maxim Movie
Filed under: Comedy », Romance », Casting »
You probably recognize Nicholas D'Agosto as West, the trouble-starting flying kid and Claire's paramour in Heroes. But to me, this guy will always be the ballot counter in Election, and the dude behind the counter in Psycho Beach Party. And, should he continue with the cinematic work he's picking, rather than the television, I imagine he will never rise above those two gigs.Jessica already told you that he's in Maxim's Mardi Gras, and now The Hollywood Reporter has shared that he will star in another one -- Maxim's Fired Up. At the fresh, young age of 27, he'll play "a high school student who, with a teammate, bows out of the season to attend cheerleading camp in an elaborate scheme to score women that goes awry when he falls in love." Well, I guess there is no easier way into a girl's pants than being the hand that holds her barely-covered butt in the air.
He will be joined by Eric Christian Olsen (License to Wed), Sarah Roemer (Disturbia), and Daneel Harris (One Tree Hill). Between the pretty faces and the subject matter, I imagine it will do relatively well amongst the target demographic. And this does have Maxim attached to it, so I'm sure there will be lots of gratuitous female skin. Whether the actual movie will be any good, that remains to be seen.
