Casting
Emily Blunt duets with Russell Brand
There has been alot of Emily Blunt casting news that hasnt turned out to be true lately, so I dont know if this is legit or not but its being reports by several sources so we will see where it goes. She was rumored to be in ‘Iron Man 2’, and ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ but neither of those panned out.
Apparently Emily Blunt will be joining Russell Brand in his Aldous Snow spinoff movie ‘Get Him to the Greek’. She will be playing a popstar that is going to duet with Aldous. So what is this movie even going to be about? Well we got this from MTV Movie Blog:
When we last left drug-clean Aldous in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,†the bloke was ditching Hawaii for England†¦without his co-star love, Miss Marshall. This time around Brand tells the source, “I play Aldous Snow again but Aldous Snow back on drugs.†He goes on about his character with Hill’s, saying, “It’s a two-hander with Jonah Hill. Jonah’s character has to get Aldous from London to Los Angeles to perform a gig. Aldous is a crazed drug addict and a handful.â€
So it will also star Jonah Hill who I am certain will be reprising his role as the crazed fanboy. So far it sounds freaking awesome. They also revealed news about Jason Segel writing songs for it, so that should make it even better. What do you guys think?
UPDATE:
EW is claiming this is a bunk rumor:
The Devil Wears Prada actress Emily Blunt has not signed on to appear alongside Russell Brand in the Forgetting Sarah Marshall sequel/spin-off movie Get Him to the Greek. Brand was reported to have told an Australian radio station that Blunt would star with him in the film and the story has been widely repeated on the Internet. But Blunt’s U.K. publicist told EW earlier today it was “untrue” that the actress had been cast in the Marshall sequel. Universal, the studio behind Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also tells EW that the rumor is false.
