Writer/director Paul Haggis (Crash) has made a couple of last minute casting additions to his next project, Third PersonMaria Bello and Adrien Brody are the latest to join a cast that now includes Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Kim Basinger, Mila Kunis, and Moran Atias.  In the vein of Haggis’ Oscar-winning 2004 drama Crash, the film follows three intersecting stories set in Paris, New York, and Rome, “with each storyline following a different stage of a love relationship from the beginning, middle, and the end.”

Variety's report doesn’t provide details on Bello’s character, but Brody plays the love interest of Atias.  We also know that Neeson and Wilde play a journalist and a gossip columnist, respectively, in the New York storyline.  Production begins this week in Rome.  Hit the jump for casting news concerning the 9/11 drama September Morn.

Additionally, Woody Harrelson and President Bartlet Martin Sheen are now set to star in the 9/11 drama September Morn.  Deadline reports that the film is in the vein of Twelve Angry Men and centers on a group that revisits and questions the independent investigation into the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack.  I’m interested to see what kind of “investigation” this story focuses on.  Conspiracy theories?  Failure of the Bush Administration to anticipate the attacks?  Response?  Something else entirely?  There are a number of ways this could go, but I’m hoping for a more straightforward approach a la No End in Sight.

B.J. Davis will direct from a script by Howard Cohen.  The ensemble cast includes Ed Asner, Judd Nelson, John Heard, Esai Morales, and Daniel Sunjata, and the project will be shopped to buyers next week at the American Film Market.
