Double dose of casting: Lizzie Caplan joins Seth Rogen comedy and Joely Richardson hooks up with AH-NULD




A little casting news this evening.  The first comes via "Empire" magazine which reports that Lizzie Caplan (Mean Girls, Hot Tub Time Machine) will join the Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg comedy The Interview.  The film involves a talk show host and his producer who somehow get involved in a plot to assassinate the premier of North Korea.  Caplan will play an intelligence operative named Lacey.

Meanwhile, although the film Maggie is already in production, "The Wrap" reports that Joely Richardson (Event Horizon, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) has signed on to zombie movie alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Joely will play Maggie's mother which is reportedly a small role.

I'm glad to see both of these actresses getting gainful employment.  Caplan is a very underrated actress and I loved Joely Richardson in television's "Nip/Tuck."

Both films are set to release sometime in 2015.
