WINGED CREATURES
Casting: Holy hell, talk about a cast. What looks most encouraging--other than 2006 Oscar winners Jennifer Hudson and Forrest Whitaker returning in meaty-looking roles that take full advantage of their talents--is the casting of Dakota Fanning. Anyone else really see the young Jodie Foster in that trailer? Now that she's 14, it's time she attacked some roles that grapple with adult subjects (in the right context) and this looks just right.
RACHEL GETTING MARRIED
CASTING: Like most of America, I'm starting to fall a little more in love with Anne Hathaway with each successive movie she makes. She takes on a role here that hasn't shown up on her resume yet: problem child. This ain't no Princess Diaries, that's for sure. This looks a little tricky, though. Perhaps I'm still smarting over those horrible two hours of life I spent watching Margot at the Wedding, but I can see this crashing and burning almost as much as I can see it working beautifully. A lot of it is up to the usually dependable Jonathan Demme. But, at the very least, Midge!
NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST
CASTING: We all love Michael Cera but isn't he way too young for this role? And doesn't this look a little too...I don't know...stupidly earnest for the people involved?
