Safe House producers have already paired box office champs: Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, and now want to up the ante with new cast additions. This flick centers on a CIA agent (Reynolds) who has to protect a rogue agent (Washington) after the safe house he’s being kept in is attacked (hence the title). There’s already been one confirmed addition to the cast, along with a rumor that a big star will be jumping onboard.
According to LatinoReview, the confirmed addition is a relative unknown, French actress/singer Nora Arnezeder, who you may have seen in her acclaimed turn in the Sony Pictures Classics-distributed Paris 36. In Safe House she’ll play Ana Ramos, the girlfriend of Reynolds‘ CIA Housekeeper.
The rumored addition is none other than Jeff Bridges, who would be taking on the role of “Deputy Vice Director Harland Whitford”, which is apparently dependent on Terry George...

So sue me, but I love the concept behind Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington’s upcoming actioner “Safe House”. Oh sure, it’s been done to death, but so has the “man on a vengeance” movies, and I can still use a couple of dozen more of those in my diet. Anyways, the Reynolds-Washington “Safe House” has added one sure thing to its cast, and a possible second castmember if everything falls into place. The sure thing is that French actress/singer Nora Arnezeder (sidebar) will be making her American film debut in “Safe House”. LatinoReview says Arnezeder will play Ana Ramos, Ryan Reynolds’ love interest in the movie. Now normally I would say Scarlett Johansson should be very worried (I mean, look at her — that’s one nice looking French gal right there), but since the two are separated, that point seems moot. In the rumor area, Jeff Bridges...

Ryan Reynolds is a busy, busy dude, shooting the R-rated comedy The Change-Up in Atlanta now, preparing to be re-introduced to the world as The Green Lantern in June, still counting on playing Deadpool at some point, and coping with being the Sexiest Man Alive on top of all that. And yet there's still one more project coming up in Reynolds' near-ish future, the thriller Safe House, in which he'll play a CIA agent transporting a criminal (played by Denzel Washington) to, uh, a safe house. Tim McGraw confirmed last month that he's part of the film as well, and now it's finally time for a woman to get in on the action plot. Latino Review has the scoop that the French actress and singer Nora Arnezeder will star as "Ana Ramos," described in their headline as his "hot girlfriend" but not much beyond that. In addition the producers are...
