How to Cast: Ashley Greene

Ashley_Greene_2Get her to go from vampires to ghosts. The cutie Twilight star – who will be reprising her role as the spirited Alice Cullen in the upcoming New Moon – is in talks to star in The Apparition, a supernatural horror film from the production company who did Orphan and Whiteout, according to the Hollywood Reporter. That’s not necessarily an endorsement, I’m afraid. Greene would play one half of a couple who are haunted by a supernatural presence that is unleashed during a college experiment. Hmmm, methinks they want to jump on the Paranormal Activity band wagon.

In other casting news: Isla Fisher is indeed desperate in her next flick. She’ll star in Desperados, a feature comedy described as a female-oriented Hangover, says the Reporter, playing a woman who sends a nasty email to a potential love interest after they have sex, and he goes MIA. She finds out, however, that he’s really in a coma in Mexico and so goes on a mad rush to the country, with a couple of her girlfriends, in hopes to intercept the email before he wakes up and reads it. Oh, hilarity MUST ensue.

Looks like they’ve decided to do a movie about Yogi Bear. FINALLY. I mean, how in the world have we survived so long without the Jellystone Park bear yelling about “pic-cnick baskets” on the big screen? Dan Aykroyd and Anna Faris are in negotiations to star in Yogi Bear, a live-action/animated feature take on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, with Faris playing a wildlife filmmaker who follows the antics of a bear in fictional Jellystone Park. Aykroyd will voice Yogi, and Justin Timberlake could supply the voice of Yogi’s constant companion, Boo Boo. I’m scratching my head.
