Chris O’Dowd
Chris O’Dowd’s career continues to flourish with the news that he’s in talks to join Ted Melfi’s movie St. Vincent De Van Nuys, according to Deadline, which would see him star alongside Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy.
The film is about a hard-working single mother (McCarthy) who hands her child over to a cantankerous old man (Murray) to watch over him while she tries to make ends meet with her various jobs. O’Dowd will play the local parish priest, who counsels the old man. He’d sympathetic to the situation, but shocked at all of the horrible habits and lessons Murray’s character chooses to pass down to the impressionable 12-year-old kid.
Shooting on the indie movie is set to star this July.
Melissa McCarthy is busy proving that you don’t have to be 21 and a stick figure to be a female movie star. She’s currently the hottest comedy actress around and now 
Earlier this year George Clooney signed up to direct and star in Monuments Men, which at the time Sony was due to fully finance. However Sony has apparently realised that with Ghostbusters 3 now due to shoot next year, it’s rather over-committed on projects and so has gone to Fox and gotten them to split costs on the $50 million movie with them.
For years now there have been rumours, plans and speculation about a third Ghostbusters movie, but the film has been constantly held up, largely due to Bill Murray’s reluctance to return. However while he recently finally decided not to be part of the movie at all, he did give the necessary permission for things to move forward without him (Murray, Da Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and director Ivan Reitman all have veto power over sequels).
It’s always good news when Bill Murray decides to star in a movie, and now he’s in early talks to star in the comedy St. Vincent de Van Nuys for writer-director Theodore Melfi and 20th Century Fox, according to 
There can only be a couple of screenwriters in Hollywood who haven’t had a crack at Ghostbusters 3 by now. Last week, Dan Aykroyd teased that there was yet another “new writing staff” working on the screenplay. Now 
Roman Coppola may have been busy busy as a second unit director for his father Francis, sister Sofia and friend Wes Anderson, but a decade ago it seemed he was a promising director in his own right. He released CQ in 2001, but we haven’t had anything from him since.
