* Oscar Isaac is set to join Viggo Mortensen in The Two Faces of January, an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel about a con artist, his wife, and a stranger attempting to flee Athens after they get caught up in the murder of a police officer. We first learned about the film about a year ago when Mortensen came aboard, but this is the first new information since. Isaac will be re-teaming with Drive writer, Hossein Amini, who will pen the script and make his directorial debut. Production is set to begin around the end of the year. [Variety]
* Maybe Cloris Leachman(The Last Picture Show) didn't see the hilariously awful photos from Raging Bull 2, otherwise it's hard to believe she'd sign up to be a party to such madness. The film is a 1-2 combo prequel/sequel to Martin Scorsese's classic 1980 boxing drama, with William Forsythe as an older Jake LaMotta. Newcomer Mojean Aria will play LaMotta the younger version of the middleweight champ. Penelope Ann Miller, Joe Mantegna, Natasha Henstridge, Tom Sizemore, and Paul Sorvino co-star, with Leachman playing the mother of Miller's character. Martin Guigui wrote the script and is directing.

* The multi-talented Rose Byrne(Bridesmaids) has joined Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in the workplace comedy, The Internship. Directed by Shawn Levy, the film centers on two middle-aged guys who get downsized out of their jobs, and are forced to compete with young and ambitious upstarts at a successful tech firm. Also joining the film is Joanna Garcia, who some may recognize from the WB sitcom, Reba. The Vince Vaughn-scripted comedy co-stars Max Minghella and Dylan O'Brien, with production set to begin shortly. Byrne can be seen next in the final season of her TV series, Damages. [EW/Deadline]
