More casting news from the as-yet untitled Sam Mendes-directed romantic comedy as Jeff Daniels and Catherine O'Hara have been cast. As I have mentioned before, the film stars Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski star as an expectant couple traveling the country in search of a place to put down roots and raise a family. The screenplay was written by author Dave Eggers and his wife, novelist Vendela Vida.
The real casting news I am excited about was buried down here in the Hollywood Reporter story, just an off the cuff listing of who rounds out the cast. I had never heard any of these names mentioned with this before but go ahead and take a look at the last name listed. The Hollywood Reporter should know better than to not mention his name in the headlines when dealing with me. I'll post it in bold to make it easier for all of you. The film also includes Allison Janney (Juno, West Wing), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Carmen Ejogo (Lackawanna Blues), Jim Gaffigan (My Boys), Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Chris Messina (Made of Honor), Kevin J. O'Connor (There Will Be Blood), and Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl).
