Kevin Smith’s buddy cop comedy A Couple of Dicks has been filming in and around New York City for a month now, but a few more names have been added to the cast list. Last night we told you that Jason Lee would be filming a small part in the film, and tonight Variety confirms our earlier report and adds one more name to the list: Michelle Trachtenberg, best known as Dawn Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl. Comedian Jim Norton (of Opie & Anthony fame) also has a small role in the film, which he filmed earlier today (see his Tweet). Trachtenberg will play the daughter of Willis’ character, and Lee will portray her stepfather.

Written by Robb and Marc Cullen, and featured on the 2008 Black List (a Hollywood insider list of the best unproduced screenplays of the year), The film stars Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis as two veteran LAPD detectives who attempt to track down a stolen, mint-condition, 1952 baseball card, get tangled with a sports memorabilia-obsessed gangster, and rescue a Mexican beauty named Gabriela (Ana de la Reguera), who might hold the key to millions in laundered drug money.

Adam Bordy, Sean William Scott and Kevin Pollak also have roles in the film. A Couple of Dicks is tentatively scheduled to hit theaters on February 26th 2010.

  • For some reason, I am not sure if I am going to feel this movie. This is coming from a Kevin Smith fan.

    Best known as Dawn Summers or Georgina Sparks?! I'm sorry, as a child on the nineties, she will always be best knows as Harriet the Spy.

    Screw that, she's Nona F. Mecklenberg.

    i was just getting ready to type up exactly what yall said, but figured i'd check to make sure i was being clever and original. eff both of you.

    damn straight
  • I hope that Norton gets a respectable size role...he is F*ing hilarious. I've been to some good comedy shows and Norton blows ALL of them out of the water...not saying everyone else sucks, but Jim knows to how to make me laugh my ass off
  • Love Norton. Great move.
  • I'm not an avid smith fan. I liked Zack and Miri a bit, but Clerks II hardly at all. I am excited to see this movie, though. Each bit of casting news makes me more and more excited. I've never been a Jim Norton fan, but he'll be reading from a script and not doing his routine so I feel safe. Honestly, Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis as cops is reason enough to see the movie!

    Those are the only Kevin Smith movies you've seen? Those are his worst two movies.

    Watch Clerks (1) and do a bong hit every time someone says dick. That should get you in the right frame of mind.

    **I work in a very religious office.
  • Oh, I loved Dogma, laughed at Jay and Silent Bob, and was indifferent about Clerks. I was just naming off his recent movies...
  • Jeff
    Do you have to give a film synopsis with every post about this movie? We get it already.
  • Here's a fun fact: you made out with your sister!

    Worst twins ever!
  • GORT
    is Michelle Trachtenberg Dan Trachtenberg's sister?
  • If she were, that would be awesome. But sadly, I don't believe that is the case.
  • GreatBigLion
    Was just about to ask.
  • Kevin Smith should start making serious movies...
  • why?
  • Pico
    I only have one thing to say

  • This almost counter-acts the awesomeness of the Jason Lee news.
