Movies We Love – What's Up, Ya Sieve?

Casting Couch: Turk – the Movie

OMG! is reporting that actors ~~Tom Hardy~~ Logan Marshall-Green and Wyatt Russell are finalizing deals to play Derek Sanderson and Bobby Orr in the indie flick “Turk”.

Logan Marshall-Green as Derek Sanderson

Wyatt Russell as Bobby Orr

The film will be based on the book “Crossing the Line”, which details the self-destructive, downward spiral of Boston Bruin Derek Sanderson and his ultimate redemption with the help of his superstar teammate Bobby Orr. Production is supposed to start in the fall in Boston.

Marshall-Green is currently training on ice to prep for the role, but Russell isn’t going to have to prep that much. He played collegiate hockey at University of Alabama-Huntsville and pro hockey in Canada and Europe.

Oh and if his name looks familiar, it should. He’s also the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, brother to Kate & Oliver Hudson.

So WUYS, what do you think of the casting choices?

Best Picture Nominee: GOON

If I was still working in the feature film industry, I would have TOTALLY greenlit this movie. No hesitation. No second guessing.

GOON

“Seann William Scott stars as Doug, a small town bouncer who, after physically defending his best friend (Jay Baruchel) at a hockey game, is recruited to play the enforcer for a minor league team, despite initial misgivings.”

SWS, channeling his inner goon...

The film is described as “A really violent “Happy Gilmore,” with a little “Die Hard” and “The Last Boy Scout” thrown in for good measure.” The flick will have a R-rating, which gurantees hi-larious hockey hijinks and appropriate locker room shenanigans. Which we here at WUYS love more than a fat kid loves cake.

“What’s Up, Ya Sieve” goes live on the air!

Personally, I would have given it a $100 million dollar budget and cast Ryan Reynolds and Joshua Jackson in the lead roles.

But that is just me…
