FARIS JOINS MAMA’S BOY CAST
PENA JOINS WAHLBERG IN SHOOTER
TRIO TAPPED FOR BOCHNER’S ONE PART SUGAR
This is the type of casting news the Casting Couch feature was made for since I don’t think anyone really cares about this, but for those of you that love minor casting notes Danny DeVito, Dylan Walsh and Justin Long are set to star in One Part Sugar for writer/director Hart Bochner.
The pic will feature Walsh as Ray Tuckby, a man who clings to hopes of reuniting with an unrequited love from his childhood by staying in his rundown hometown. Long will play the small city’s young drug lord and real estate mogul. When a stranger (DeVito) arrives with hopes of revitalizing the town, Tuckby and others team up to fight the local hooligans and help him in his mission.
