Judy Greer Joins ‘Tomorrowland’; Filming To Begin This Week
Brad Bird’sTomorrowlandhas been the subject of all sorts of rumor and speculation since it was first announced a while back under the title1952. Heck, for a time, there was even a wild theory going around that it wassecretlyStar Wars Episode VII. But now the film’s about to take a more concrete shape as production gets under way this week.
And as those cameras prepare to roll, Bird’s rounded up another name for the starry cast.Judy Greeris in negotiations for the mysterious sci-fi pic, which also featuresGeorge Clooney,Hugh Laurie,Raffey Cassidy, andBritt Robinson. Hit the jump for the latest updates on the project.
Meanwhile,Deadlinereports that Greer has entered negotiations forTomorrowland, but has not yet closed the deal. If she does sign on, it’ll be her third time working with Clooney. She previously co-starred with him in 2011’sThe Descendantsand 1999’sThree Kings.
Greer’s role is being kept under tight wraps, along with many other details about the storyline. You can feel free to guess who she is playing based onthe in-depth (and as yet unconfirmed) synopsiswe saw earlier this year, but be warned that digging around too much could get you into spoiler territory.
The veteran character actress seems busier than ever at the moment. She has two movies due out in the near future, Kimberly Peirce’sCarrieremake and the indieJamie Marks Is Dead, and is working right now on the Matt Reeves-directedDawn of the Planet of the Apes.
And that’s just on the big screen. She’s also a series regular on the animated seriesArcher, and has made appearances this year onTwo and a Half MenandArrested Development. Additionally, she’s attached to star in an FX comedy pilot withThe Descendantswriter Nat Faxon.
Hopefully, though, she’ll be able to find room forTomorrowland. Disney has the film scheduled to openDecember 12, 2014.
