Sure Shots: Nurse 3D; Paul Dano; Romancing the Stone



* Boris Kodjoe(Surrogates) aka Mr. Nicole Ari Parker, Neal McDonough(Captain America: The First Avenger), and Nick Turturro(NYPD Blue) have joined the cast of Nurse 3D, the film starring Paz De La Huerta(Enter the Void) as a nurse who uses her sexual gifts to catch and kill adulterous men. Isn't that entrapment? Give the guys a break. The film is directed by Douglas Aarniokoski and also stars Katrina Bowden(30 Rock). [Mytrackingboard]

* Neo-realist filmmaker Kelly Reichardt(Wendy and Lucy) has snagged Paul Dano to star in her next film, Night Moves. Dano last worked with her on the revisionist "western" Meek's Cutoff, and will now be starring alongside Peter Sarsgaard in the film about three eco-terrorists on a mission to blow up a dam.

* Thank the Maker. Just a few days ago news started swirling about that long shelved idea of remaking Romancing the Stone, the 1984 adventure rom-com starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. It appeared that director Robert Luketic(Killers) was off the project, but that his muse Katherine Heigl may be attached along with Gerard Butler. Thankfully the whole idea will be easier for me to avoid now, because instead it's heading to a TV set near you. NBC Universal has picked up the rights to a television series based on the globe trotting pair. Mark Friedman(The Forgotten) will be head writer, while Shawn Levy(Real Steel) will helm the pilot. Good now I can safely walk away from this whole story. [Deadline]
