Casting Bites: Nutcrackers, Beasts and Much, Much More!
Filed under: Comedy », Drama », Independent », Casting », Family Films »
There's lots of small casting announcements popping up over the last few days -- some of which might make you oooo, ahhh or possibly convulse in repulsion:- Back in May, I told you that John Turturro was going to be the Evil Mouse King in the upcoming film, Nutcracker: The Untold Story. Since then, it seems that the name has been changed to Nutcracker: The True Story (I guess they weren't getting enough cred with the untold version), Variety reports that Odyssey Entertainment will take care of international sales and the cast has been completed. When word first came out, Turturro was joined by Nathan Lane and Elle Fanning. Now the list includes the wonderful Richard E. Grant added as Father, and Frances de la Tour added as the Rat Mother/Fraulein Eva.
- Autumn Reeser, Taylor from The OC, has been added to the cast of the much-feared Lost Boys 2: The Tribe. If you remember, this film is going to deal with vampire surfers, and rumor was that both of the Coreys were going to be in it. In a bit of unoriginality, she'll play a girl who moves with her brother to Trinidad, California and is seduced by the leader of the vamp surfers. Can she live up to the likes of Jason Patric and Jami Gertz?
- Jessica Walter, who you might remember as Lucille Bluth* on Arrested Development, is going to play Luke Wilson's mother in the upcoming Henry Poole is Here. The film is about a depressed and terminally-ill man whose life is changed by a miracle -- seeing a stain on the wall that looks like the face of Christ. Jesus shows up in the strangest of places.. I imagine Lucille making the poor guy's life hell, but it seems that this mom is more focused on Wilson's lack of ambition and interest in other people. Anyhow, you can check out more info on the film in our posts here, here and here.
- Rounding things out -- Mark Feuerstein, Mia Wasikowska and Ravil Isyanov have joined Defiance, the Holocaust drama, Lindsey Kraft has signed on to See You in September and Melissa Keller is joining Brian Austin Green in an indie thriller called Breaking Point. (How exciting is that?)
Tamara Tunie Will 'See You in September'
Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Romance », Casting », Scripts », Cinematical Indie »
When I hear the words "See You in September," I always think of second grade, and how my teacher would sing those words to the kids who weren't doing their work, insinuating that they'll not be advancing to third grade. Now, those immortal words are making their way to the big screen, but as much as I would love to see the teacherly serenade in film, this new indie movie is of the dysfunctional adult variety. Tamara Tunie, who you might recognize from Law and Order: SVU, is making her directorial debut with the indie romcom See You in September.The feature comes from the producer trio of Tunie, Jennifer Maloney and Joe Cilibrasi, who have been putting out theater like the Tony-winner, Spring Awakening. An idea of Cilibrasi and written by Victoria Rinaldi, September is about a successful woman in New York City who is getting therapy to work through her commitment fears. She's on the verge of a breakthrough when her therapist takes a month-long vacation for the month of August, so she puts together group therapy sessions for others, like her, who have been temporarily ditched by their vacationing doctors. The film boasts names like Estella Warren, who broke onto the scene with 2001's Perfume, Weeds slacker brother-in-law Justin Kirk and David Eigenberg, Sex and the City's Steve Brady. Sounds good to me!
