Catherine Keener who I thought was brilliant in
Capote, has joined the cast of the comedy
What Just Happened? to be directed by veteran
Barry Levinson. The movie follows
Robert De Niro as a desperate movie producer who trys to keep both his dignity and his soul amidst the problems of Hollywood politics and the breakup of his second marriage. Keener will play the head of the studio the producer is courting. Previously cast are
Sean Penn and
Bruce Willis, who both have small roles playing themselves, probably similar to Willis' role in
Ocean's Twelve.
Stanley Tucci,
John Turturro,
Kristen Stewart are also in the movie, along with Sean Penn's wife
Robin Wright Penn, who will play De Niro's ex-wife. source -
