There's so much casting news today that we had to bundle it all together in one tasty nugget.
Color this awkward: Justin Timberlake has just been cast in ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz's film Bad Teacher as the object of her desire. Diaz plays the gold-digging 7th grade teacher who falls for the substitute teacher (Timberlake) who's dating her rival (Lucy Punch). Jason Segel, Molly Shannon and Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet are also starring.
On the heels of reports that Woody Allen has cast Owen Wilson in his untitled Parisian film is news the that Oscar winner Marion Coitllard is joining the film. No word on plot or characters.
Tim Burton is taking on Abraham Lincoln...as a vampire hunter. Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will get a big screen adaptation produced by Burton. The novel was released yesterday. You may remember that Natalie Portman is set to portray Elizabeth Bennett in the film version of Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
James McAvoy is out and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in! McAvoy has dropped out of the untitled comedy based on the book I'm With Cancer. The film, which is being directed by Jonathan Levine, had already started shooting when McAvoy left the picture for undisclosed reasons. Gordon-Levitt has stepped up to the plate (meaning probably no Spider-Man for him, folks...) with a cast that includes Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, and Philip Baker Hall.
Any of these casting scooplets whet your whistles, folks?
