Casting Notes: Cheadle And Gleeson, Witherspoon Is #1, And Djimon Hounsou Works With Ong Bak Director Here’s your blast of casting bites for the end of the week. First up,Don CheadleandBrendan Gleesonwill team as unlikely cop partners inThe Guard. Film follows the confrontational small-town Sgt. Gerry Boyle (Gleeson), who likes hookers and isn’t interested in drug runners, and FBI Agent Everett (Cheadle) in a tale of international coke smuggling. Sounds on the surface like an Irish reversal ofBeverly Hills Cop, where the small-town local guy is the irreverent jokester while the outsider is terribly straightlaced....
