Graham in Austin Powers
A brief casting update for you on Heather Graham,
who has recently been doing quite a successful job on the television show
Scrubs.
Graham Chases Mary
Heather Graham is joining the cast of Mary, a film about a girl's
fascination that becomes obsession over the religious figure Mary Magdalene.
I admit that it is hard to see 'rollergirl' in a film that has anything
to do with religion, but why not. If you have never heard of Mary Magdalene,
visit your local priest or pick up The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
Or, if you want to be lazy, just read on --
Mary Magdalene is mentioned among the women
who accompanied Christ and ministered to Him (Luke 8:2-3), where it is also
said that seven devils had been cast out of her (Mark 16:9). She is next
named as standing at the foot of the cross (Mark 15:40; Matthew 27:56; John
19:25; Luke 23:49). She saw Christ laid in the tomb, and she was the first
recorded witness of the Resurrection.
Mary is directed by Abel Ferrara [The Addiction] and will
feature other stars such as Juliette Binoche, Forest Whitaker and Matthew
Modine. And, just so there is no confusion, it will be Juliette Binoche
who plays the role of the girl fascinated with Mary.
Stay tuned for updates.
