Another wonderful face that you may recognize from a previous work with Owen Wilson (The Darjeeling Limited), Adrien Brody joins the robust cast of the new Woody Allen flick “Midnight In Paris”, scheduled to start filming this Summer.

(Pictured far right) To learn more about Mr. Brody, check out his IMDB page.

Another piece of info is that the new Farrelly Brothers film “Hall Pass” has a concrete release date of February 25 2011.

J.B. Smoove and Stephen Merchant have joined the ranks of the upcoming Farrelly Brother film alongside Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis.

Merchant and Smoove will play friends of Rick (Wilson) and Fred (Sudeikis) who accompany them as they cut loose and attempt to cash their tickets.

The movie starts shooting Tuesday in Atlanta.

…as Amanda Bynes is added to the cast of “Hall Pass”, an upcoming comedy by the Farrelly Brothers. No offense intended to anyone who is a fan of Bynes, but I have to question the sanity of the casting director on this decision.

She is best-known for her ridiculous TV-based programming, such as “The Amanda Show” and “All That” as well as a couple of kiddie roles in a few movies. To see more about her, see her IMDB page.

Jenna Fischer will be playing the part of Owen’s wife in the upcoming film “Hall Pass” by the Farrelly Brothers. Fischer is best known for her role as Pam in the US version of The Office. She’ll be joining Jason Sudeikis alongside Owen for the upcoming comedy scheduled to be released in 2011.

Here is what the brothers had to say about the film in an interview:

“[The main characters are] married guys, and they’re faithful to their wives, but they always look at other women,” Peter explained. “[It gets] to the point where their wives get so annoyed that they say ‘We’ll give you a week. You can have sex with one other woman,’ just to let the guys realize it might not be such a picnic.”

The part of Wilson’s wife has not yet been cast. Wilson does already have a male co-star lined up: “Saturday Night Live” cast member Jason Sudeikis. The actor will play the best friend, who apparently also gets a “hall pass” for extramarital relations.

A little tidbit of information suggests that Owen will be working with the Farrelly brothers (There’s Something About Mary, Shallow Hal) on a film called “Hall Pass” scheduled to begin filming next month. The project is said to be about a “ho-hum hubby whose wife, looking to spice up their sex life, gives him a ‘pass’ to play the field for a week.”

I’ll provide more information as it comes across.
