Rebecca Hall has been cast as the lead in Richard Linklater‘s comedy Liars A-E. According to Empire Online, Hall will play a woman who takes a road trip with a friend (Kat Dennings) during the Obama inauguration to collect what is rightfully hers — items from her ex-boyfriends.
A trailer has just been released for the upcoming Woody Harrelson dramedy, Defendor. The film centers on a man named Arthur Poppington (Harrelson) who decides to become a superhero to help those in need. He duct tapes the letter D across his chest and attempts to fight crime in his spare time. We’ve previously posted some photos from the film, which looked both sad and hilarious at the same time.
I’m officially ready to view the trailer and watch the Defendor in action…
When I saw these photos I literally laughed out loud. Woody Harrelson stars as the title character in the upcoming film, Defendor. It’s a dramedy that centers on a man named Arthur Poppington (Harrelson) who decides to become a superhero to help those in need. He duct tapes the letter D across his chest and attempts to fight crime in his spare time. Sure he sounds insane, but at least his costume is economically efficient.
Check out photos from Defendor after the jump…
The new indie film Defendor, gets a cone hell of cast. Up and coming, Kat Dennings (Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, Housebunny) has signed on to play the role of Kat, along with Woody Harrelson (No Country for Old Men, The People Vs. Larry Flynt) and Sandra Oh (Sideways, Grey’s Anatomy). Harrelson will be playing Arthur, a regular man who believes he has a secret identity as the superhero Defendor. Sandra Oh plays his psychiatrist and Kat Dennings plays a teenager living on the streets whom Arthur befriends.
The picture is being produced by Darius Films’ principal Nicholas Tabarrok (Coopers Camera, Weirdsville, The Life and the Hard Times of Guy Terrifco), who was named one of Variety’s Top Producers to Watch. Defendor is written and will be directed by Peter Stebbings in his feature film directing debut. Principal photography begins in November in Toronto. What does Tabarrok think about the new cast?
