Anna Faris
Warner Bros/Legendary Pictures has picked up Anna Faris, Michael Pena and Ray Liotta to star opposite Seth Rogen in Observe and Report.
Anna Faris, Michael Pena and Ray Liotta for Observe and Report
Directed by Jody Hill off a script she wrote, Observe and Report centers around Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen), a deluded, self-important head of mall security who squares off in a turf war against local cops.
Faris plays a salesgirl at the mall whom Ronnie lusts after, while Pena is Ronnie's right-hand man at mall security. Liottawill act as Ronnie's nemesis, a police detective. Plemons plays another guard under Ronnie's purview.
Faris can next be seen in the comedy House Bunny.
Michael Pena next stars with Rachel McAdams in Neil Berger's Iraqi War-themed drama The Lucky Ones. Since not a single Iraqi War drama has done well, I must admit that I'm surprised they are still making these.
