David O. Russell is putting his newfound Oscar cred to good use. That is, he’s using it to meet
chicks.
THR reports that Russell is “intensely screen-testing”
Blake Lively,
Olivia Wilde,
Elizabeth Banks,
Kirsten Dunst,
Rachel McAdams,
Rooney Mara, and Andrea Riseborough to star opposite
Mark Wahlberg in
The Silver Linings Playbook. In the film, Wahlberg plays a man looking for the silver linings in his life after checking out of a mental
health facility. The highly-coveted role that these actresses are up for is that of a depressed woman who just bangs dudes
like crazy after her husband passes. In other words, up yours, Mark Wahlberg.
