The no-news department - Still no word on the release of Eye See You, the movie Jeffrey made awhile ago with Sylvester Stallone
From a New York Times article by Jesse McKinley:"The final round of casting for the long-awaited television film of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" was this week, and the decisions may make some actors extremely busy next spring. ...
A confirmed member of the film cast is Jeffrey Wright, who won a Tony Award for playing the same role, Belize, onstage. Mr. Wright is to appear on Broadway next spring with Don Cheadle in Suzan-Lori Parks's play "Topdog/Underdog." That production, which played at the Public Theater over the summer, was originally to transfer this fall but was delayed by Sept. 11.
George C. Wolfe, the director of "Topdog," said on Wednesday that the production was "trying to re coordinate everybody's schedules" to allow Mr. Wright to do both productions. Mr. Wolfe may have a little pull in this arena: he was the original director of "Angels" on Broadway and is friends with Mr. Nichols, who directed the Public's production of "The Seagull" this summer."
(Thanks, again, Jane!)
