Casting Bits: Chris Klein Confirmed for ‘American Reunion’, Marilyn Manson in Talks for Charles Manson Biopic, Joshua Jackson Joins ‘Lay the Favorite’
Posted on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 by Angie Han
Chris Klein has become the latest actor to sign on for American Reunion, the upcoming American Pie sequel that sees the gang returning to their hometown for their ten-year high school reunion. Reunion has already signed Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy and Alyson Hannigan; other members of the original cast, including Thomas Ian Nichols, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari and Jennifer Coolidge are still negotiating their roles.
Klein, as you may recall, played Oz, a lacrosse player who falls for Suvari’s Heather in the first movie. In Reunion, Oz has become a big shot with a Malibu mansion and a girlfriend who seems to be a gold-digger. [MovieWeb]
After the jump, new projects for Marilyn Manson and Pacey Witter Joshua Jackson. Is this the most ’90s installment of Casting Bits ever?
When I first glanced the news, I envisioned Nick Nolte shelling out the kind of maniacal just deserts that Tropic Thunder unforgivably withheld. Alas, it sounds nearly as choice. In the newly announced flick, Warrior, Nolte will play “an ex-Vietnam vet boxer-turned-steel mill worker whose family was torn apart by his alcoholism.” In summation: Nolte. Enter chop-socky action when Nolte makes amends with a son, to played by Tom Hardy (Bronson, RocknRolla), and schools him in the ways of battle so that he may defeat his brother (Joel Edgerton, Smoking Aces) in a martial arts tournament. Remember those?
Marilyn Manson’s newest album Eat Me, Drink Me is scheduled for release on June 5th. Titanic director James Cameron was hired to film the music video for Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides The Hand). And like everything Cameron does now-a-days, the video was shot in 3D. It is supposedly part of some larger project that Manson and Cameron are collaborating on. We have no further information about said project, and we have no idea how or when you will be able to view the footage in 3D. A clip from the video has appeared on online. Check it out after the jump. Beware: the video is pretty, um… bloody.
