Fox has inked a talent holding deal with Broadway’s “Boeing-Boeing” co-star Kathryn Hahn. Kathryn landed a co-starring role on NBC’s “Crossing Jordan” shortly after graduating. For six seasons, she played Lily Lebowski on the crime drama, drawing the attention of Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly, who ran NBC Entertainment for half of the “Jordan” run.
Hahn’s deal with Fox marks a rare talent pact as the broadcast networks have been scaling back in the past few years.
“In a time when there is less money for such deals, we’re taking really specific shots, and Hahn was one that both Kevin and I wanted to pursue,” Shulman said. READ FULL STORY HERE
So the new trailer is out for the upcoming film, Bride Wars. Starring Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway and Candace Bergen.
This should be a hilarious film for the girls with two natural comics in Hudson and Hathaway. I’m jsut glad to see Anne Hathaway take on a different role and show she has some “cat fight” in her! Due for release January 9.
