We have a few quick casting stories to report this afternoon. First up, Deadline reports that great character actor David Morse has joined Marc Forster’s World War Z. Morse “will play a prisoner living in an abandoned jail.” Question: if the jail is abandoned, and the movie takes place in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, why is he still a prisoner? Is he taking shelter in the prison? We already know that the movie is going to differ greatly from the book so who knows what Forster and co. are up to. The film stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, Anthony Mackie, and Bryan Cranston. Morse co-stars on HBO’s Treme and will next be seen in the Disney family flick The Odd Life of Timothy Greene.
Hit the jump for casting news on Siren and Arthur Newman, Golf Pro.
