RUMOR: Rashida Jones Wanted For ANT-MAN?

I'm putting this out there before I even mention this rumor. The source doesn't even have a standing track record, as I've never heard of them. However, they're not CosmicBookNews, so there is a bit of curiosity on my part. SuperheroMovieNews say that Marvel and Edgar Wright are looking at comedic actress Rashida Jones to play Janet in Ant-Man. She would be the first actress linked since the casting process has actually started.

There are more than just a few reasons to think she's a possibility. Jones has previously worked with Ant-Man candidate Paul Rudd on I Love You Man and Our Idiot Brother. Rashida also has roles in The Office and Parks And Rec. In Parks she works with Guardians of The Galaxy's Chris Pratt. She also has links to Edgar Wright working with two of the Cornetto Trilogy actors Nick Frost and Olivia Colman (Hot Fuzz) in the dance comedy Cuban Fury. Oddly enough, Chris O'Dowd who is also in Cuban Fury has a small cameo in Thor: The Dark World.

B.J. Novak Confirmed For Role In AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

Director Marc Webb has tweeted a set photo including Office and Inglourious Basterds actor B.J. Novak. Which likely confirms that he'll have some sort of roll in Amazing Spider-Man 2. His role isn't mentioned but he might be linked to Oscorp.

Webb also revealed recently that this Oscorp security person seen above is played by  Cal McCrystal.

Sex Tape Might Get A Director, Ellie Kemper Needs To Co-Star

Variety reports that Jake Kasdan best known for directing Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Bad Teacher in talks to helm Sex Tape for Sony. The comedy from screenwriter Kate Angelo focuses on a married couple who decide to spice things up by making their own sex tape. They wake the next morning only to find it's missing and scramble around the city trying to find it before it ends up online or in the hands of someone they know.

Currently Jason Segel is the only actor attached to the film. However, I'm putting it out to Sony that they need to cast Ellie Kemper in the second lead. Kemper is best known for scene stealing supporting roles in The Office, Bridesmaids and the recent hit 21 Jump Street. It would be in the studio's best interest to develop Ellie into a comedic leading lady and give her a shot at the role. The only problem is that Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Rose Byrne, Reese Witherspoon, and Jennifer Garner are in the mix. My hope is that with Kasdan's love for casting Office regulars he might want Ellie to test with Jason.
