Tom Lipinski Joins Jason Reitman's 'LABOR DAY'

Variety reports that actor Tom Lipinski (Suits) has joined Jason Reitman's next film Labor Day based on the novel by Joyce Maynard. The film stars Josh Brolin who plays an escaped convict who comes into contact with a single mother played by Kate Winslet and her son while on the run in a small town. Lipinski will play a younger version of Brolin's character, I assume explaining why he was sent to prison. One role not filled is Kate's 13 year-old son and could be career starter for the lucky actor. Labor Day will shoot this June.

Kristen Wiig Attached To Action Comedy From Descendants Writers

It sounds like a perfect comedy match up with ShowBlitz reporting that Kristen Wiig is negotiations to star in an untitled action-comedy from screenwriters Jim Rash and Nat Faxon. The pair recently won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Descendants. Wiig was Oscar nominated this year for co-writing Bridesmaids in the Best Original Screenplay category. The combination of the three is amazing considering Faxon was involved with the bizarre but fun Broken Lizard films, Rash being an integral part of the wacky show Community and Wiig being the funniest person on SNL.

Zero details are known about the project but it landed at Indian Paintbrush, with other studios making their own offers. Paintbrush is a new production company but has an impressive list of films that includes Young Adult, Like Crazy, Seeking A Friend At The End of The World,  Fantastic Mr. Fox, Jeff Who Lives At Home, Moonrise Kingdom and The Darjeeling Limited under their belt. I assume that we should be seeing some really interesting names attaching themselves in supporting roles.
