Casting Couch: Part Three

Ever since his cinematic masterpiece Heat, Michael Mann has always been on my radar when going to the cinema for a flick.

Now rumors are swirling that Mann and Johnny Depp are teaming up for the big screen adaptation of Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34. DiCaprio was supposed to be the lead, but bowed out to be a part of Scorcese's next crime drama, Shutter Island.

Speaking of Shutter Island, movie legend Ben Kingsley has joined the cast. The movie revolves around a U.S. marshall (DiCaprio) who is sent to the remote New England island in summer 1954 to investigate the disappearance of a patient from the island's prison/mental hospital. Kingsley will play the mental hospital's chief physician.

Thoroughbred dime-piece Molly Sims has also been added to the Jim Carey vehicle, Yes Man. The story revolves around a man who says yes to everything for one year (couldn't the studios have just called this Liar Liar 2?).
