What is Casting Couch? It’s a daily info dump of casting news. Today we’ve got reports of new jobs for Internet favorites like Simon Pegg and Peter Dinklage, as well as a bunch of pictures of actors holding animals, because why not? Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film, Inherent Vice, is said to have somewhere around 20 important speaking roles, so it’s starting to look like it may call for the most star-studded cast he’s ever put together; or at least the most star-studded since he last did an ensemble piece like Magnolia. Anyway, Cigarettes and Red Vines is reporting that the next big name likely to join the film is Sean Penn, as he’s currently in negotiations, and if the PTA-centric blog had to take a guess as to what role he’s up for, they imagine he’s going to be playing hard-nosed loan shark Adrian Prussia.

Time To Dance On The Sand! Teaser Trailer For ‘Rio 2′
15 May 2013 9:27 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
If you love brightly coloured, obnoxious, dancing birds, then the first teaser trailer for Blue Sky’s Rio 2 is sure to get you all excited. The teaser doesn’t give us much…because it’s a teaser, and all it really shows are some of the characters coming together and dancing. It’s a Brazilian teaser, so don’t expect to hear any familiar voices, but fret not as almost the entire English language cast will be returning to their roles.
The plot will see Blu and Jewel raising their three kids, but when Jewel decides that her kids need to experience the wild, Blu feels as though he doesn’t quite fit in and may lose his family. I’m not a fan of the first film as I just found it to be loud and irritating. However, this plot has the potential to be quite engaging. I »
