"The Baster", "Irena's Vow, and "American Dad"

The Baster
Variety has finally announced that Patrick Wilson has been added to the cast of the new Jennifer Anniston-Jason Bateman film "The Baster". It also stars Jeff Goldblum.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118001896.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

Excerpt:
"Based on a short story by Jeffrey Eugenides, the story revolves around friends Wally (Bateman) and Kassie (Aniston), whose plan to have a baby on her own is complicated when Wally secretly swaps Kassie's chosen sperm donation with his own. Allan Loeb penned the screenplay.
Wilson will play the genetically superior sperm donor that Kassie originally selects. Goldblum will portray Wally's boss." (A bit of "typecasting" for Patrick!? haha!!!)

They have begun filming in New York City.

"Little Children"
This list of couples with the best on-screen chemistry includes Patrick Wilson and Kate Winslet in "Little Children":

"Patrick Wilson/Kate Winslet: Little Children (2006) Suburbanites meeting and falling for each other in ho-hum middle class America is a typical if not forgettable plot, but when you add in the tremendous talent of Wilson and Winslet you get a story that is truly inspired."

"Lakeview Terrace"

"Watchmen"
Just found out that as Watchmen comes down in commercial movie IMAX theatres, it is going up in Tampa's DOMED IMAX, one of the largest in the country at Tampa's Museum of Science And Industry.

They are doing this clearly because of Patrick in his hometown. This is a very progressive 'science and industry' museum in Tampa with a glorious DOMED IMAX theatre.

http://www.floridaattractions.org/en/rel/474/

It is the only "Dome" Imax in the state of Florida and is usually reserved for great Discovery Channel pieces.

"Watchmen" and other items for Patrick Wilson Fans

March 20-26: Last week for "Watchmen" in IMAX
Word has it that with "Monsters & Aliens" coming out in IMAX 3-D on March 27th, this is the last week to see "Watchmen" in IMAX in the US.

"Watchmen" was not filmed for IMAX but it is being shown in those theaters for those who like to see it in the larger format. The film will continue showing in regualr theaters.


Patrick Comments on the Sudden Passing of Natasha Richardson
At Thursday's opening night for the Broadway Revival of "West Side Story", Patrick was
asked by reporters about the death of Natasha Richardson. She and Patrick were in the cast of "Evening" (2007) and Patrick's wife Dag had worked with her on Broadway in "Closer" (1999).

Here's a quote from OKmagazine:
http://www.okmagazine.com/news/view/12685

"Patrick Wilson, a Broadway vet who starred on screen with Natasha in 2007's Evening talked to OK! about his feelings of grief.

"It's an unexplainable, tragic, senseless loss. It's just a time for her family to reflect and our prayers go out to her whole family," he shared."

And a video clip of the red carpet arrivals, Patrick and Dag are at the end of the clip:http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/03/71993/

Patrick and hats?
We are wondering it the hat that he wore Thursday night is the one mentioned by this blogger HERE

Natasha Richardson has passed away. Starred in "Evening"

Our deepest condolences to the family of actress Natasha Richardson who passed away yesterday after a fall while skiing.

Natasha was one of the stars of "Evening". She played, Constance, the adult daughter of the central character, Ann Grant, who was played by her real life mom, Vanessa Redgrave. A scene was written especially for the two of them so they could share a few minutes together on screen.

In the movie, Ann is on her deathbed and remembers a weekend decades earlier. She was attending a friend's wedding and met a charming doctor who captured her heart. Patrick plays that guy--"Harris Arden" and Claire Danes plays the young Ann.

If you haven't seen "Evening" yet--or haven't watched it in a while, this weekend might be a wonderful time to do so to see Natasha's work.

Another baby on the way for Patrick Wilson and wife Dagmara Dominczyk

Patrick Wilson and his wife, actress Dagmara Dominczyk, are expecting their second child this summer. US magazine broke the news today:

http://www.usmagazine.com/news/watchmens-patrick-wilson-wife-expecting-second-child-2009173

Excerpt:

"Asked Monday if another little one is on the way, Wilson, 35, told Us, "Yes, we're about halfway there."

The baby is due in June.

They have a 2-year-old boy, Kalin.

"He's very excited," Wilson told Us at the opening night of the musical Rooms in NYC. "I think he'll make a great older brother."

Congratulations to the Wilsons!

"Barry Munday"

(Stars Patrick Wilson, Judy Greer, Chloe Sevigny, Cybil Shepherd, Jean Smart, Malcom McDowell, Billy Dee Williams, and Colin Hanks. Slated for release in 2009)

Patrick's other movie for 2009 is "Barry Munday". It's based on a short novel called "Life is a Strange Place" by Frank Turner Hollon.

It is a quick/easy read (just 232 pages) and is quirky/funny. You really go on a bit of a rollercoaster ride with Barry as he careens through some very unusual circumstances.But it has a lot of heart and was really quite touching. Patrick and the other cast member must have had a a wonderful time with this project. We can't wait to see this movie!

www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com both carry the book. They also have reader reviews (which usually contain a few spoilers)

Patrick Wilson is in "Watchmen"--in theaters now!

Patrick Wilson stars in "Watchmen" as a sweet, good-natured reluctantly retired costumed hero. He is just fantastic as the sad, out-of-place Dan Dreiberg and ultimately the empowered and focused Nite Owl II. His castmates include: Billy Crudup, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Malin Ackerman, and Carla Gugino. Everyone does admirable work--and director, Zack Snyder, used his amazing viewpoint and guiding hand to create a memorable movie-going event. This film is a must-see and is theaters NOW!
