Some insanely cool casting news for two very exciting projects.

Firstly, Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson are in talks to star in The Beaver with Foster also lined up to direct.  The film tells the story of a grown man who wears a beaver puppet on his hand that he treats as a real person.

Secondly, the enchanting actress Zooey Deschanel who can be seen in the upcoming 500 Days of Summer has signed on to star opposite James Franco, Danny McBride and Natalie Portman in the comedy Your Highness.  The film tells the story of a lazy prince (McBride) who must complete a quest to save his father’s kingdom.  Joining him on the quest is his more heroic brother (James Franco). Deschanel will play Belladonna, Franco’s virginal bride.  Natalie Portman plays McBride’s love interest, a warrior princess.
