Casting Bites: From Leelee to Perry

Filed under: Action », Comedy », Drama », Romance », Casting »

Another week has flown by, and it's time for more casting bites, courtesy of Variety:

She might have gotten to play Joan of Arc on the small screen, and get saucy in a Stanley Kubrick film, but now Leelee Sobieski is probably going to make many-a-Johnny Depp admirer jealous. She's been cast as the last girlfriend of John Dillinger - aka Depp - in Michael Mann's Public Enemies. This should make her Polly Hamilton -- a woman who didn't know who he really was, and was with him when he was gunned down.

Meanwhile, actor Jesse Williams is getting to cleanse his big-screen girly fare of the upcoming The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants 2 with Antoine Fuqua's Brooklyn's Finest. He will play Eddie Quinlan, a character who is pretty high up on the cast list that boasts Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, and Ellen Barkin. The movie focuses on three unconnected cops who take very different career paths and wind up at "the same deadly location."

Sophie Monk Sleeps Around for 'Hardbreakers'

Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Casting », Cinematical Indie »

In the last few years, Sophie Monk has starred in Date Movie (ick), had a part in Click (eh), and then Sex and Death 101 (Waters/Ryder reunion...yay!). She's also finished filming three new films -- Spring Break '83, which has her starring with Jamie Kennedy in a retro high school bullying story that sounds like a Dazed and Confused wannabe, Pearblossom, which has her being a reawakened dead lesbian, and Spring Breakdown, a Rachel Dratch story about thirtysomethings partying with co-eds.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Monk is also going to get her date on in new writer/director Leah Sturgis' upcoming film. She has signed on to star in Hardbreakers, an indie comedy that focuses on a few "hot single girls" dating in Los Angeles. Her character will be Lindsay Greene, "an outgoing, fun, and crazy 25-year-old who has been with a lot of guys." Uh, okay.

I imagine the thing to note in this flick is that it's called "Hard"breakers, rather than "Heart"breakers. Is it safe to assume that these two young women, one of whom has racked up a lot of practice, have a habit of inducing a certain colored genital condition? And who will be Lindsay's partner in crime? Stay tuned!
