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.)
A Squad for Vice

I know Daryl
Hannah was in Kill Bill, but other than that I thought
she'd spend the last couple of decades under a pretty rock somewhere, dreaming of the glory days of Reckless and Summer Lovers. Apparently, however, that was just me, because
according the IMDb, she's been working her tail off - and, by the looks of the things, 2006 and 2007 will be
equally busy. Hot on the heels of last week's announcement of her role in Dark Honeymoon comes
the news that she will also star in Vice,
an indie thriller from writer-director Raul Sanchez Inglis. The film "revolves around a group of conflicted police
officers who become suspects when drugs go missing" and, in addition to Hannah, will feature her Kill
Bill co-star Michael Madsen (both will also produce), as well as
Mykelti Williamson and Mark Boone Junior.Vice is due to begin shooting in Vancouver in a couple of weeks.
