Laura Linney (The Big C) will star alongside Bill Murray in Hyde Park on the Hudson. The film focuses on FDR’s love affair with his cousin, Daisy, during a June weekend in 1939 when the British King and Queen visited Roosevelt’s upstate New York cottage in what was the first ever visit to America by a member of the British monarchy. As we previously reported, the notoriously reclusive Bill Murray has signed on to star as FDR. Now, Deadline reports that Linney has signed on to play FDR’s cousin/lover, Daisy. I'll watch anything with Bill Murray and it'll be interesting to see who will end up playing Eleanor Roosevelt along with the King and Queen. Roger Mitchell (Morning Glory) will direct the film.In other casting news, Ricky Gervais has signed on to voice the character of Argonaut in the upcoming Spy Kids film, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World.  In the press release Gervais said, "Not only am I lending my voice to Spy Kids, but they can keep it.  I'm sick of it." Not much is known about Argonaut besides the fact that he is a robot spy dog. Gervais joins the cast which already includes Jessica Alba, Jeremy Piven, Joel McHale, Rowan Blanchard, Mason Cook, Antonio Banderas, Danny Trejo , Alexa Vega, and Daryl Sabara. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World opens on August 19, 2011 and it's written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Hit the jump for the synopsis.
Here's the official synopsis:
On the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all...married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids.  But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly don’t want her around, is her toughest challenge yet.  Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn’t know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the case - Marissa’s a retired secret agent.
Marissa’s world is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and she’s called back into action by the head of OSS, home of the greatest spies and where the now-defunct Spy Kids division was created.  With Armageddon quickly approaching, Rebecca and Cecil are thrust into action when they learn their boring stepmom was once a top agent and now the world’s most competitive ten year olds are forced to put their bickering aside and rely on their wits.  With a little help from a couple of very familiar Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), and some mind-blowing gadgets, they just may be able to save the world and possibly bring their family together while they’re at it.
