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."
Trent Ford & More Tackle 'Possessions'
Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Casting », Cinematical Indie »
I've read my fair share of plot summaries, and I have to say -- this one is definitely interesting, and strange enough that it could be good. So The Hollywood Reporter posts that there's this new indie black comedy on the way, Possessions, and it will star Trent Ford (The West Wing), Jaime Murray (the crazy Lila on Dexter), and Autumn Reeser (The OC). The film was written, and will be directed by, newcomer Nathan Adolfson. But the plot's the key.According to this job post, the film will focus on a dude named Orlando (Ford) who is dying from cancer. "Resigned to his fate, all he wants is to be left alone with his alcohol and drugs. But his hopes of solitude are destroyed when he wakes to hear Jean-Luc, an incessantly chatty Frenchman who happens to be a voice in his head. Now, in addition to cancer, Orlando must deal with Jean-Luc's never-ending questions and commentary, as well as the discovery that Jean-Luc is slowly taking over every sense of his body (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch)."
Strange, eh? I guess if Orlando isn't going to make use of it, Jean-Luc will pick up the slack. THR says that Murray and Reeser "form an odd quadrangle" with the struggling man. Production began Friday in Los Angeles.
