Anna Fanna Fo Faris

.

Two bits of news about Anna Faris this morning. Firstly, via DH:

"Anna Faris is in negotiations to join the romantic comedy "Wedding Banned" for Touchstone Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter. "Banned" revolves around a long-divorced couple who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom. Robin Williams plays the father but the mother has not been cast."

And here I was just thinking yesterday that I wouldn't entirely mind it if Robin Williams disappeared and was never heard from again! Does that Old Dogs trailer, with Williams and (shudder) John Travolta and Seth Green (oh Seth, no) make anyone else contemplate investing all their money in hot pokers in anticipation for the run on them once the film is out?

Anyway, Anna's always funny, always, so a lot of this Wedding movie depends upon the casting of her mother, I think. Who would y'all cast with the little info we have? Some older lady to play off of Anna. My first thought was Catherine O'Hara but my first thought almost always is Catherine O'Hara when thinking of older funny ladies. Or maybe Jennifer Coolidge? Hrm. Although both of those ladies work so much. Bless 'em, I love 'em both and never get tired of watching them, but someone unexpected might work. I nominate Teri Garr. Boo. Yah.

And the second bit of Anna Faris news also via DH:

"Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris are teaming up on the comedy "TMI" for Universal Pictures says Variety. Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith and Marc Klein are penning the comedy with the storyline being kept under wraps. The premise deals with "too much honesty" not being a good thing in relationships. Andrew Panay and Jonathon Komack Martin will produce. The film will likely be Reynolds' first project after "Green Lantern" which shoots early next year."

Anna and Ryan have teamed up twice before, in the lowlowlow-brow comedies Just Friends and Waiting. I've rambled about my love for Anna in the former before... needless to say, it brought us this:


And for that I will forever be grateful. As for Waiting, I've never seen it. I heard really really bad things about it that kept me away. But then I heard really really bad things about Just Friends and there is a lot to recommend in between the drivel in that film. Like this:

I really could just post that picture over...


... and over...


and over again.

Never tired of it! Never ever. In fact... y'all stay tuned to my profile picture... I just gots an idea! Been meaning to update that sucker for awhile anyway. As for Anna and Ryan, well I guess this makes them the comedy duo of our times then? They're our Abbott and Costello, Lucy and Ethel, Berkley and Gershon...
