"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.


Irena's Vow
On Sunday night (March 29), Patrick and his wife, actress Dagmara Dominczyk, attended the Broadway Opening of "Irena's Vow". More HERE

Countdown for Patrick Wilson Projects

Just 7 days until they begin announcing the films that have been accepted for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Fingers crossed that "Barry Munday" makes the list! The festival begins on Thursday, January 15, 2009.

Just 46 days until "All My Son" closes on Broadway (Sunday, January 11, 2009). If you have the opportunity to see this wonderful production at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre--DO IT. The staging is so innovative--I loved it. And, the cast is top-rate. John Lithgow and Patrick Wilson are so worth the price of the ticket. Dianne Wiest has received rave reviews. She was out when I saw the show but her understudy, Lizbeth Mackay, was amazing. She was more than equal to the task. Katie Holmes may not be a stage veteran but she's earnest in her portrayal and works very hard. A real "must-see" production.

Just 48 days until the DVD/Blu-Ray release of "Lakeview Terrace" is released (Tuesday, January 13, 2009) Special features are included so hopefully we'll get to hear Patrick, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kerry Washington's thoughts on this story.

Just 100 days until "Watchmen" rocks the movie world (Friday, March 6, 2009). Patrick in a dual role as Dan Drieberg his alter ego, costumed hero Night Owl II.

Plus..."Passengers" should have a DVD release in the near future, too.
