Preliminary screencaps of Shorts now up in the gallery here. DVD caps upcoming! Whenever my DVD arrives that is, which should be sometime after December 7.

Kat Dennings (“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”) has joined the cast of “Thor,” the Marvel Studios production that begins production in January.

Dennings will play Darcy, who works with Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster character.

Anthony Hopkins, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston have been cast, with Kenneth Branagh directing.”Thor,” scripted by Mark Protosevich, Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller, centers on a partly disabled med student who discovers his Norse god alter ego, the hammer-swinging Thor.

Paramount will release the film on May 20, 2011.

Since Liars (A-E) was scrapped by Miramax downsizing, a reviewer emailed fishing for the script and actually got it sent to her so she could read and review it.

The review and a Sendspace link to the actual script are located here for anyone interested! Considering the script might be taken down pending official request, better go snag it now.

Kat is going to be on American Dad! She did a voice-part on the November 29 episode, G-String Circus, as she said on her Twitter. Be sure to tune in! :)

When Disney downsized the bulk of Miramax’s employees and announced that the company would be reducing its output to only three or so films a year, it was assumed that the next product slated to go into production — the Richard Linklater romantic comedy Liars (A to E) — would be safe from the scythe. After all, Linklater finished casting leads Rebecca Hall and Kat Dennings two months ago, and the story (which found Hall and Dennings visiting Hall’s exes on a road trip to retrieve lost items) offered plenty more juicy roles for actors.

Alas, when I talked to Linklater today, the greenlit project had suddenly run into a red light. “It’s no longer happening, unfortunately,” Linklater confirmed. “It didn’t really work out. It’s tough.”

As a result, Linklater has found himself unexpectedly unemployed. “I don’t think I have anything coming up!” he said. “Everybody asks me about School of Rock 2, and that’s not really happening. It’s not on the front burner. Mike White was writing on it a long time ago, but it’s become dormant.”

The School of Rock sequel had been buzzed about online as of late (White’s Gentlemen Broncos press tour probably contributed to that), but Linklater said the spike of interest doesn’t correlate with its likeliness to happen. “I’m surprised to hear all this. I saw Jack [Black] the other night, and we talk about it. We’re not gonna do it just to do it. Let’s just say it’s still kind of on the backburner and it’s no one’s next project.” ♦

Sucks. :/ Hopefully she’ll be cast in something else soon!
