The Cinematic ... Return of Patrick Duffy!
Filed under: Comedy », Casting »
Remember Patrick Duffy? He spent 13 years as Bobby Ewing on Dallas (plus a few extra stints through the years). Then there was Step by Step, the goofy Suzanne Somers sitcom. After that, you wouldn't have seen much of him unless you're a Bold and the Beautiful fan. But now he's hitting the big screen. For the first time. At the age of 60.The Hollywood Reporter posts that he's grabbed a part in You Again, the Disney comedy I mentioned back in April. Kristen Bell stars as a woman who finds out that her brother (Jimmy Wolk) is about to marry the girl (Odette Yustman) who made her time in high school a living hell. So she tries to convince her beloved brother that his fiancee isn't the nice girl he thinks she is. Duffy will play the former high school crush of the woman's rich Aunt Ramona (Sigourney Weaver) and her mom (Jamie Lee Curtis). How's that for a trio of '80s names?
I'm not sure how this whole triangle is going to come together in the film about someone else entirely, but I think it's just really great to see Duffy getting some big-screen work after all these years. If he starts a new trend for ol' television stars, who do you want to see next?
And, as an extra bonus, hit the jump to see "Patrick Duffy & The Crab: The Crab Dares Patrick To Eat a Dime."
Casting Bites: Kristen Bell, Sally Hawkins, and P Diddy

Three casting bites, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter:She may have wowed us all with her kickass teen detective on Veronica Mars, but her big-screen work continues to lack the same verve. On the heels of When in Rome and Couples Retreat, Kristen Bell has signed on to Andy Fickman's You Again. She'll play a woman who finds out that her brother is gearing up to marry the evil girl who made her years in high school a living hell. Not happy with the idea, she tries to find a way to reveal the girl's true evilness to her brother. Aren't there any mysteries to solve? Joel Silver, let Rob Thomas make the film. Bell needs better!
Meanwhile, the wonderful Sally Hawkins, the woman behind Happy-Go-Lucky, has grabbed herself a sci-fi gig. Hawkins, along with Charlotte Rampling, Nathalie Richard, and Andrea Riseborough, have signed onto Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go. This is that sci-fi drama that Keira Knightley signed onto last month, which focuses on three boarding school friends who get a rather shocking surprise as young adults. Unfortunately, there's no word on who these newest cast members will play. Boarding school teachers? The people behind the sci-fi twist?
Lastly, Emily Blunt might not be signing on for a little Russell Brand and Jonah Hill, but Elisabeth Moss, Sean P Diddy Combs, and Rose Byrne sure are. They're the new castmembers added to Get Him to the Greek -- the flick where Hill has to get the wild rocker Brand from London to LA, "becoming introduced to an out-of-control life of hookers and blow along the way." Yay. More hookers. Hollywood definitely doesn't have enough of them. Moss will play Hill's repressed doctor girlfriend (not the kind with Calamitous Intent), Combs will be Hill's record company boss, and Byrne will be Brand's ex, "a Courtney Love-type rocker." Loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but this pic has yet to wow me.
