We’ve got a few quick casting stories to report this morning.  First up, Stark Sands (Generation Kill) has joined the Coen Brothers‘ upcoming film Inside Llewyn Davis.  The movie takes place in 1961 Greenwich Village and centers on a young musician (Oscar Isaac) trying to make it in the folk scene.  The film co-stars Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Garrett Hedlund, and John Goodman.  According to Deadline, Sands will play “Troy Nelson, a young soldier on leave who’s a forlorn and talented musician.”  Sands’ recently appeared in the Broadway adaptation of Green Day‘s Americna Idiot.

Hit the jump for casting news on I’ll Follow You Down and John Michael McDonagh’s Calvary.

Lee Pace, Linus Roache, and Stark Sands Join the Pilot for HBO’s THE MIRACULOUS YEAR

We’ve had intermittent reports this year on the HBO pilot for The Miraculous Year, described as “an examination of a New York family as seen through the eyes of a charismatic, self-destructive Broadway composer.” We know that Kathryn Bigelow — fresh off her Academy Award win for The Hurt Locker — will helm the pilot, and the cast has filled out rather nicely with Eddie Redmayne, Norbert Leo Butz, Hope Davis, Frank Langella, and Patti LuPone. Now EW has word that Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies), Linus Roache (Law & Order), and Stark Sands (Generation Kill) have joined the cast, though details on their specific characters were not mentioned.

HBO certainly doesn’t show any signs of slowing down their delivery of top-notch cable television. Bringing in Bigelow to direct the pilot should kick start The Miraculous Year with a bang, and until then Martin Scorsese’s Boardwalk Empire should be quite a satisfying series to sink our teeth into if the fantastic trailer is any indication of the show’s quality. As far as the new cast additions go, I’m most looking forward to see Lee Pace find a fantastic new series after Pushing Daisies was unfortunately cancelled a little while back.

GENERATION KILL Blu-ray Review

When The Wire ended it was a bittersweet moment. For five seasons, The Wire showed what television could be, and that long form storytelling need not get lost in useless subplots, or characters added to reinvigorate a stale premise. Put simply, The Wire is the finest accomplishment the format has come to offer, and the only consolation was that the show never faltered, it never stopped being brilliant. Creators David Simon and Ed Burns had earned the right to fail, to take chances, to do whatever television presented them, and their follow up was the HBO miniseries Generation Kill. My review is after the jump:
