Also in this Friday edition of The Broadsheet: Warren Beatty talks Dick Tracy 2… Diego Luna might head to Elysium… Savages adds another great actor… and more ahead.
· You can probably picture the trailer already: Jason Bateman is in early talks to join Vince Vaughn in the Universal comedy The Insane Laws, from writer Jeremy Garelick (The Break-Up). Insane — a word that has become impossible to read without thinking of Ke$ha’s “Blow”; just me? — would follow two life-long friends (Bateman and Vaughn) whose relationship gets tested when their respective son and daughter fall in love at college, and the girl gets pregnant. Nothing is signed yet, of course, but things could get going in the fall — especially if Bateman hits a box-office home run for Universal with The Change-Up. [Deadline]
· The last film Warren Beatty directed was Bulworth in 1998, and the last film he appeared in was Town & Country in 2001. What does the Hollywood icon have planned as an eventual encore for those works? Would you believe Dick Tracy 2? Me neither, but that’s what Beatty told the crowd at the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Film Festival on Thursday night. “I’m gonna make another one,” he said. [LAT/Hero Complex via /Film]
· Here’s hoping the screenplay for Savages is better than Don Winslow’s source novel, if only because the cast Oliver Stone has put together for this one is beyond impressive. Demian Bichir (Weeds, Che) is in talks to become the latest cast addition, joining Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, Salma Hayek, Benicio del Toro, Uma Thurman, John Travolta and Emile Hirsch.
