Jude Law To Swap Spit With Anthony Hopkins

Jude Law is putting his talent for sleeping with castmates up on the big screen. He has joined the gang bang that is Fernando Meirelles’s relationship drama 360. A retelling of the classic play, Reigen, the story shows a variety of characters just before or just after a secretive boot-knocking. After each scene, one of the partners carries over into the next scene and so on until the hook-ups come round full circle.

The rest of the cast is made up of names known and unknown. That’s because the film travels around the world, tackling scenes in English, German, French, Austrian, Russian, Moroccan, Algerian and Brazilian. The actors previously attached are Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Wiesz, Ben Foster, Jarnel Debouze, Juliano Cazarre, Maria flor, and Karl Markovic.

That means that Jude Law‘s saliva will indirectly end up in Anthony Hopkins‘ mouth which, let’s face it, has probably already happened by now anyway. (via The Playlist)

Ben Foster Joins Hopkins and Weisz for ’360′

Ben Foster, last seen blowing up all manner of shit in this month’s The Mechanic, has been added to the cast of Fernando Meirelles’ slightly more highbrow 360, a drama starring Anthony Hopkins and Rachel Weisz. The film, written by Peter Morgan, is inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s play Reigen, and will re team Meirelles’ with Weisz for the first time since the two made 2005′s The Constant Gardner.

Foster has proven himself to be a versatile talent as of late, taking on popcorn films like the third X-Men film as well as thoughtful indies like Oren Moverman’s The Messanger. It’s not every day that an actor goes from shooting everyone in the face with Jason Statham to making dramas with Oscar winning pedigree. That hasn’t happened since Amy Smart went straight from Crank 2: High Voltage to her starring role in Precious. (Deadline)

Old White Man Casting News: Hopkins Doing ’360′, Plummer Getting ‘Dragon Tattoo’

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Today in Old White Man Casting News, Anthony Hopkins has joined Rachel Weisz in Fernando Meirelles’ 360, and Christopher Plummer has signed on for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Good for these two AARP card carrying members. They know the true secret to not dying: keep working!

Anthony Hopkins is the first of many that will be cast in the Peter Morgan-scripted 360, as the movie revolves around ten characters. It “examines sexual morals within and between social classes, using various pairs of characters who have sexual encounters in and outside of their social classes.” No word yet who Hopkins will be banging, but I’ve been told one of the characters is named The Whore. So maybe Lindsay Lohan.

In Dragon Tattoo, Christopher Plummer will play the wealthy industrialist who hires Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara to solve a 40-year-old murder. In the process, they find all kinds of deep, dark, effed up secrets in his family. Plummer seems like the perfect person for the role. His character has to get out a lot of exposition, and he should do just fine keeping the viewer intrigued. When Plummer gets intense it’s as if he could hit you with a switch at any moment.
