Even if the sheen has worn off Juno after sometimes, you'd still have to be pretty foolish not to be excited about Young Adult another film written by Diablo Cody, directed by Jason Reitman. This movie is set to cast Charlize Theron as a young adult author who returns to her hometown to sorta-kinda stalk her ex-boyfriend, and though Josh Brolin had been rumored for the ex role, he confirmed a few weeks back he wasn't going to be part of the film.
Thank God there's no shortage of attractive men looking for a job in Hollywood, and The LA Times reports that Patrick Wilson has been selected for the ex-boyfriend role, and Patton Oswalt has also join on board the production, which will start shooting soon in New York. The Times doesn't give details of Oswalt's role but over at The Playlist they've read the script and decided he'll play Theron's overweight and disabled best friend "not afraid to call her out on her shit." Apparently the crippled fat best friend of his is the new "sassy gay best friend," but since it's Diablo Cody I'll hold off on judging for now. Though Wilson has worked with a whole litany of great directors in the past, it's actually Oswalt who's had the better career fortunes lately following his stellar, creepy lead turn in last year's Big Fan (Wilson, on the other hand, was recently stuck in the middling The Switch). Both of them are very welcome in a project with this much talent involved, especially one that will allow them both to be dramatic and funny at the same time. Article from cinemablend.com
