The Suitors Come Marching In

.

The roles of Anna Faris' previous hump-buddies are being filled in in her next movie What's Your Number?, and I'm definitely being reminded of the casting that happened back in the day for When In Rome with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel... anybody else? I still haven't seen that film, but it's not really a positive association at this point... anyway, via EW:

"Anna Faris’ R-rated comedy What’s Your Number? is assembling quite a supporting cast to play her slew of ex-boyfriends. Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg is attached and an offer is out to Star Trek’s Zachary Quinto to play two of the men she revisits in her quest to find love. The New Regency film is based on Karyn Bosnak’s book 20 Times a Lady and tracks Faris’ character Delilah, who upon sleeping with her 20th guy realizes that it’s too many and she must have missed her Mr. Right along the way. Chris Evans is already attached to play her womanizing next door neighbor.

New Regency is producing and filming is scheduled to begin in May, plenty of time for Evan to shoot before going off to be Captain America. Mark Mylod (Entourage) will helm."

A little Andy Samberg goes a reeeeally long way for me, so that's not exactly hitting my happy spot. Quinto's cool.

But the big news here is, I think, that they're telling us that Chris Evans is definitely still in the film. Most of us had assumed that Matthew Bomer was taking Evans' role... so I wonder what that leaves for Matty. The gay best friend, perhaps?

I know this is a point of contention for us, but where did that Samberg screenshot come from?

It's from a recent episode of The Sarah Silverman Program, Hugh Man. He plays her imaginary best friend.

According to the news, Chris Evans is playing Anna's wonanizing neighbor, while Matt Bomer is her dream guy. They are not cast as the same character.

Thanks, Keni. I figured it was something like that since Chris was indeed sticking around.

And god in the time it's taken me to write this I've already figured out half the plot from those character descriptions.
