Casting Bites: Sasha Alexander and Rob Kerkovich
Filed under: Comedy », Romance », Casting »
Here's some Monday nibblets for you:Alas, like always, I see "Sasha Alexander" and immediately mix her up with Sasha Jenson, the sex fiend from Dazed and Confused. For some reason, I do this every time I see her name. But since it isn't Jenson, let's get back on track. Sasha Alexander, who you might remember from Wasteland or her stint as Gretchen Witter on Dawson's Creek, has picked up an indie gig for herself. Variety reports that she's got a role in Tenure, which stars Luke Wilson and Gretchen Mol as two professors who, well, compete for tenure. But she's also got roles in He's Just Not That Into You and Yes Man, so we should be seeing more of her in the near future.
Meanwhile, Variety reports that Rob Kerkovich, who got to play one of the many partygoers in Cloverfield, is getting a more prominent gig, and one that shouldn't be putting him in monster's way. He's landed a role in Bart Freundlich's The Rebound, which stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Justin Bartha. (This is that May/December romance flick.) Kerkovich will play a stoner co-worker of Bartha's character. Ah, that sounds like just the sort of company a single mom would want to keep with her new younger boyfriend.
Luke Wilson Gets 'Tenure'
Filed under: Comedy », Casting »
Sometimes I really wonder about Luke Wilson. He'll do a lot of great films, and mix them with a lot of schlock, many of which don't fall under the paycheck defense. Really -- is there any reason, whatsoever, for him to co-star in Blonde Ambition? He's lucky that he's so good in the good stuff, and hopefully his next project will be just that.Wiping off the blonde idiocy, Variety reports that Wilson has signed on to star in Blowtorch Entertainment's new college comedy -- Tenure. Mike Million makes his feature writing and directorial debut with the project, which has Wilson playing a "beleaguered college professor who competes for tenure with an impressive new female colleague." The female shoes haven't been filled yet, but David Koechner has signed on to play "Wilson's anthropology prof sidekick."
This is part of Blowtorch's initiative to put out "low-budget, youth-oriented movies," so I think it's safe to presume that this will have a lot of young humor in it. This isn't your stodgy university comedy. Production begins next month in Philly.
