It's been awhile since Kurt Russell or Kathleen Turner* did anything significant. In the last six years Russell has appeared in only four films while Turner...well she's probably made some appearances at Dunkin' Donuts but beyond that I really can't say.
In any event, both actors are about to make splashes in some very high profile sequels. "Variety" reports that Russell has just signed on for a role in Fast And Furious 7 alongside Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. While the role wasn't disclosed, "Bleeding Cool" states that Russell's role will be the one originally offered to Denzel Washington and modeled after Liam Neeson...whatever that means. Could be a villain but I'm guessing not considering Jason Statham is primed to play the baddie.
"Variety" also reports that directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly have cast Turner in an undisclosed role in Dumber and Dumber To. The movie begins shooting this Fall and is set to release sometime in 2014, just in time for the original's 20th anniversary.
Russell can next be seen in The Art of the Steal currently in post-production and Turner will hopefully be seen somewhere by somebody soon. "Friends" reunion anyone?
*I couldn't put up a newer photo of Kathleen Turner. I just...couldn't...do it.
